Charge 5 stopped working after swimming

my 2nd charge 5. first stopped after swimming and I bought another and it stopped after wearing it in the showera few months later and I take cold showers so it wasn't the heat. 

Fitbit really needs to tell ppl not to wear their watches  in any kind of water and get rid of the water resistant label because it's not and if you read the community posts you can see that this isn't limited to just a few ppl.

Hi, @Proness , welcome to the community, I used my Charge 5 for many months swimming daily. Provided your device is damage-free it's good for swimming (as are all the Fitbit devices & Pixel Watch)

You mention having your present Charge 5 for two months, It is worth checking that your device is charged Why isn't my Fitbit device's battery charging? - Fitbit Help Center provides assistance & guidance. Try restarting your Charge 5 as demonstrated in This video @ 1:29 

If, as I suspect, your device is less than two years old you may have the benefit of Fitbit's return and warranty policy depending on when, where & from whom you bought it.

Let us know how you get on by posting here again.

Cheers
