Accidentally put my Charge 2 into a front load washer with a load of towels. When the cycle finished, I thought for sure my Charge 2 would be finished also. Lo and behold! The Charge 2 is still working! Great product.

Still might want to put it in a bowl of rice for a few days to make sure it is completely dry

@GPrusko Welcome! Thanks for being part of our Community! Happy to hear that your tracker survived its deep water voyage! Still @WendyB advice is something to take into consideration. I have had my own Fitbit One survived two washing machine trips but we should be careful as these devices have an opening for the altimeter. Hopefully yours won't give you any problem but know that your tracker isn't waterproof.

 

Let me know how it goes!

I can beat this - my charge 2 survived the washing machine and the dryer.

And my clothes were COMPLETELY dried when I took it out.

 

I assumed it would be ruined, but let it sit out for 2 entire months.

 

Charged it and it works fine.
