Can the leather band be worn in water?
The wrist band I have is rubber and breaks out my wrist and am looking for a leather band that can be worn in the pool and other water bodies

Hi @rdnonamaker12 - The answer is no. Here is what Fitbit advises on the accessory page regarding the leather band:
The Fitbit Inspire™ and Inspire HR™ leather double wrap is not sweat- or water-resistant. We recommend limited to no contact with moisture to reduce discoloration/damage to the wrap.
You may want to try a breathable silicone band. They are available from third party sellers.

You can’t swim in the leather band. I have the same problem with the rubber ones. Etsy has a number of people selling cloth alternatives. I also found a third party nylon band at Walmart for <$20.
