Does anyone know if the Fitbit Luxe is waterproof?

@Drwills Welcome! The Luxe is water resistant up to 50 meters. I, personally, have never had a Fitbit die from water exposure. I frequently shower with my Luxe and I've taken many Fitbits over the years into the pool and to the beach. However, there are some reports of water leakage killing devices. So I would say to expose your device to water with caution.

Hi there, @Drwills. Welcome to the Fitbit Community Forums. 

As @Heather-S has mentioned, most Fitbit devices are water-resistant to 50 meters. They're designed to be swimproof and stand up to even the sweatiest of workouts.

Keep in mind that not all of our accessory bands should get wet, like those made of leather, metal, and woven materials. For more information about wearing your Fitbit device, see our Wear and Care page.

Water resistance may diminish over time and can be negatively impacted by any of the following:

• Dropping the device.
• Exposing the device to soaps, shampoos, conditioners, perfume, insect repellent, lotions, or sunscreen.
• Exposing the device to high-velocity water (for example, during water sports).

If your device gets wet, it’s important to take it off and dry it well before putting it back on. If your device comes into contact with any liquid other than fresh water, you should clean it with fresh water and a soap-free cleanser (like Cetaphil) and dry it with a lint free-cloth.

So is salt water a bad idea?

@Drwills I have taken mine to the beach and in salt water and haven't had any issues. Your mileage may vary. And like I said above, do so at your own risk.
