Charge 3 OK to swim

[Borea]

I'd like to wear my charge 3 while I swim but I am reluctant.  Says it is OK to 50 m but also says if you get it wet let it dry out.  That information is conflicting to me.  Note I will be in the pool 30-60 min.  TX

Hi @Borea, welcome to the community.

This is taken directly from the Charge 3 features page:-

"Water resistant up to 50M, so you can wear your tracker or smartwatch in the shower, pool and beyond."

So yes you can wear it to swim with, in fact the Charge 3 has a swim tracking feature. The reason it mentions that if it gets wet you should dry it, is to avoid any potential skin irritation if you were to have some residual water trapped between your tracker and skin.

Thank you for the response. The reason I asked the question is I just received my replacement Fitbit. The first one stopped working after I swam with it on and didn’t want it to happen again.

Have you been swimming with your FB? Like you, I'm reluctant. I usually swim 30 - 45 minutes, 3x/week.
