Is it advisable to dive into a swimming pool wearing the Versa ?

[vkjain]

Is it ok to dive into a swimming pool with a depth of just 6 feet while wearing the Versa?

I am not diving from a height-ed diving board but just from the side of the pool.

Is there any chance that water or moisture can enter the watch while diving and damage it ?

I know it is water proof up to 50m depth but nothing mentioned about diving in the user manual.

Hi @vkjain,

I wouldn't recommend diving with the watch. Although it is rated waterproof, it isn't rated to absorb the impact from diving.

Hi @WavyDavey

Thanks for the information.

Also just wanted to know if your recommendation is based on some past experience of a similar kind or has Fitbit mentioned this to you ?

I also do see a number of posts that do mention that after going for a swim the Versa has stopped working. Maybe it was a dive that impacted the watch and not the actual swimming.

Yes, we've confirmed with Fitbit.

I learned this in the Ioinic and Versa forums. If you search "diving" or "scuba" or impact on both those forums, there are a number of stories of people whose watches died shortly after diving.

Thank you @WavyDavey

I dove off the side of a pool (not diving board) and my versa popped open 😳. I would not recommend. 

my versa 2 stopped working yesterday so I grabbed my versa. Now I have two non working fitbits.
