Charge 5 packing in during rain

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

I have found that my Charge 5 stops working when it rains.

This has happened many times, which is frustrating as I live in Scotland and so frequently carry out a fell run in the rain.  It then simply keeps cutting out and then re-starting.  It broke one run into 7 separate segments, with gaps between- making it effectively useless.

 

It did recover once dry until I went sea-swimming.  It would switch back on, but then shut its self down almost immediately.

I replaced it with a brand new Charge 5.  This one has the same problem.  I went for a hill run today and it started raining.  As a result, the fitbit kept stopping and re-starting the exercise recording, so that it was in 4 sections.  Is this a known fault as the salesman was adamant it was waterproof to 50m.
