GPS Fitbit device for Triathletes

Status: Released Submitted by on ‎06-05-2017 14:25

I am looking for a GPS device that can be submerged in water.

 

This is my second post requesting that fitbit create a watch that can be used by triathletes. I run my first Half Marathon in a very long time this coming weekend. I am signing up for a Triathlon within the next few months along with a few 10Ks and my charge HR is finally closing in on its last breath. I would hate to leave the Fitbit community but need a device that is more functional for water people as well.

Hi @Apollo20 we’re excited to let you know that the feature you proposed here has now been implemented in the newest Fitbit tracker, Ionic. Fitbit Ionic can be worn in the pool up to 50 meters, and will track swim workouts with stats like lap counting, duration and calories burned. You can learn more about Ionic and it’s new features, like an app gallery, music and payments here: www.fitbit.com/ionic. Thank you so much for your suggestion and for taking the time to share your ideas to help us make trackers better.
