Can my Fitbit charge 3 pick up steps from water aerobics?

Hi @Catswhiskers - Love your picture! That little one is very cute! To answer your question, the charge 3 is water resistant and can be worn in the pool. But as to counting steps, it will depend on how active you are during the water aerobics. I believe it should. Let’s see if anyone else has an experience with that and can comment. The only thing keeping me from a firm yes is wondering if the water resistance would interfere.

Questionable.  It detects steps from the back and forth motion of the arms.  As such, I would have thought it would get steps from aqua-jogging, post another poster said didn't get them.  It might depend on how vigorously the arms are moving.  Maybe the water slows them down enough that it doesn't recognize the change in momentum, or thinks they are too slow.

All of which was a long way of saying you will probably just have to try it out yourself to see if it works for you.

Or maybe others with actual experience will chime in here too.
