Is this waterproof

Is the Fitbit surge waterproof? I accidentally wore it in to a swimming pool for around 10 mins and it seems to be fine and charging fine but unsure if it's going to have problems?

It's not waterproof but you may be lucky. I'd have thought it would have gone wrong by now if it were going to.

I believe the official line is the Surge is "Water Resistant".  I've worn mine while running in heavy rain with no issues, while on other days, errr, "hot and humid" days, a mist has developed on the inside of the screen.

Just to be on the safe side, were I you, I would bury your Surge in a bowl of rice and wrap the bowl with plastic wrap for at least a half of day.

I nearly had a heart attack when I realised 😬 Do you reckon it's not waterproof because of the charging port?
Thanks for the responses 🙂

I think part of the problem is the sensor for floors. It uses an air pressure sensor which requires a small hole in the fitbit.

the hole is not the problem.

as i said many times, diving computers have pressure sensors and holes, but are waterproof.

of course, the supplier has selected waterprof sensors.

the other reason is the heart sensor.
