Help! I love my Ionic, had it since April18, and felt on it hugely for my endurance training.
Wore it in the pool just now, (not something I usually do), and it's completely stopped working. Tried recharging and re-set, but not the slightest glimmer of life. The only answer I can think of is that water has got in.
So disappointed! Really need my watch working for marathon prep. It's been so good in every other respect, just can't believe a sports watch designed in part for training in water could be so bad.
Not sure what to do - take it back to the retailer I bought it from? (Argos). Any advice appreciated.

Meant to say 'rely on it for training.....'

My 15 month old Ionic has also suffered a tragic death by being submerged in water. Although mine was a bathtub...depth, 1 ft. Fitbit's resolution was a 40% discount on a new Ionic that has no guarantee of dying in 15 months either as that seems to be the planned death for Ionic's, as mentioned numerous times here on the forums. Disappointing.

The exact same thing happened to me this week. Has Fitbit done anything for you? I've had my fitbit since November 2018 so the warranty has expired. So disappointed. It was the first time I wore it in the water though. Maybe it wasn't truly waterproof.

Mine is exactly 15 months old. Died last week while I was swimming.

If you end up wanting to get a new one, you can get just the pebble off of ebay from considerably cheaper. That's what I did. Although the listing said it was just the pebble, it came with straps and charging cable.
