Getting water out of Fitbit Versa?

[JeffDowning]

I have recently switched to the Versa from an Apple Watch.  When the Apple Watch got wet, there was the feature to spin the dial on the side to expel the water.  There some similar feature on the Versa or do I not have to worry about that?

To be honest, I've never experienced that, but my sister did years ago with her cell phone.  You shouldn't have to worry about it, but just to be safe, you could try putting the watch in rice.  Rice is a starch, which is why you may be thirsty after eating rice.  The rice will absorb any water that may be on the watch.  When my sister did that with her phone (which was accidentally dropped in a lake), the phone worked perfectly, despite being the water for a few hours.

Hi, the versa is waterproof, the fact you can use it for swimming is proof of that, no point in a watch for swimming that can't go in the water, I've showered and washed the dishes wearing mine

Yes, it’s waterproof but;

Went snorkeling in salt water last week with my Versa, that works fine as long if you don’t touch the buttons. Touching the buttons killed my Versa. At least, I think that it killed the Versa, because what else could it be? The screen and LED stopped working, but still counted my steps. The next morning the Versa was dead.

Did snorkel earlier that week with the Versa without touching the buttons and it survived. I even went diving with it (17 meters deep, salt water), without touching the buttons (at least not that I’m aware of) and it survived,

So yes, the Versa is waterproof, but don’t touch the buttons would be mine advise . 🙂
