Hi @TrickyDee, and thanks for taking the time to share this suggestion about including the water lock feature on the Versa 3 watch.

Not according to any information I can find. I know it locks on a swim exercise, maybe you could explain how to turn on manually as I can't find any info.
As I said, I know you can start a swim exercise, what I'm asking for is a manual turn on for when the watch is going to get wet, but I'm not recording a swim exercise.
Please add a water lock & Palm sensor toggle. The palm sensor is the reason the watch comes on in the water even with the screen set to manual/button only
I am unsure as to why this feature isn't available on the Versa 3 but available on other models of fitbit. When I shower the timer app goes nuts with the water, I end up having to take it off or leave till dry then rest. Would be a handy feature for all fotbits
Hi @Samsgirlracer, thanks for taking the time to share this suggestion about being able to manually enable the water lock function on the Versa 3 with us. Because this idea was already requested in the Feature Suggestion board, I’ve moved your post here. Please support this idea by adding your vote, this helps our developers to keep tracking its popularity and demand over time.
When I swim laps, I don't use the "swim" activity mode because it doesn't use GPS and therefore I can't synch the data to Strava. I use the "walking" activity to get around this issue and need a manual water lock function. Manual water lock would be useful all other times in water too - shower/bath and leisure swimming.
Yes please. I don’t take hot showers yet somehow this thing is constantly turn on the voice assistant and screen during and I like to be able to track my heart rate at all times so I know which activities are raising it. Add to this that it sends my zone minutes skyrocketing just from crocheting. I’d really like to be able to use whatever motions it’s misreading to inform FitBit of the inaccuracy and make future models ‘smarter’. Or even be able to disable certain functions rather than remove the watch when it’s not otherwise necessary. But I’ll see if these concerns exist in other posts and add my vote to that. Because the food calculator is also pretty worthless so there’s plenty of room for improvement. One thing that stops me from getting premium is that some very basic missing features keep it from being worthwhile. I’d rather a feature not exist altogether than be poorly implemented. (Team up with MFP or something; their library’s accuracy is one of the best).
It goes NUTS whenever I shower, and I like to check my heart rate because showering makes me dizzy. Its one of the main reasons I got a FitBit actually.
Hi @Omnomfish - it is not recommended to wear a watch in the shower, the seals don't like hot water or detergents and will fail causing the watch to stop working.
