I went to a anime convention yoday, and it was nearly 90F. I sweated like crazy, and when I went to check the time, my Fitbit 5 was blacked out. I think my sweat my have killed it. Oof.
So, like the title says, is there any kind of fitbit (oh heck, even a Google fitbit-like watch) that is waterproof? I mostly used it to check my sleep schedule and my heart rate. Its only been less than a day, and I miss using it already.

Hi there, @honilvin. Welcome to the Fitbit Community Forums. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'm sorry to hear that your Charge 5 has stopped working. I understand your concern, I will do my best to help you with this!
Although the Charge 5 is water-resistant to 50 meters (actually, most Fitbit devices are), I have seen that sea water (salt water) tends to damage many electronic devices, so it's always recommended that you follow the steps listed in the Wear & Care guide, and to dry the watch before wearing it.
Keep in mind that these devices are more designed to be worn at a pool, river or lake, so I wouldn't recommend to use in salt water for a prolonged period of time. You can find all the information in this article.
Have you tried restarting your Charge 5?
