Using Versa 4 in a pool

[MichaelSaw]

Besides swimming, I do exercises in the pool.  I put on "Swim" so that the water lock is engaged.  Is there any other way to put on the swim lock so that it will measure exercise more accurately?

Hi @MichaelSaw - water lock is only enabled with swim, but you may be able to edit the exercise type afterwards, also depends on the version of the Fitbit app in use.

Be aware that the seals can degrade over time so if you want to avoid risk of damage stop getting it wet a while before warranty ends after which it cannot be replaced if there is a leak.

@MichaelSaw only some trackes have system wide water lock (like Charge 6). For some unknown reason, Fitbit never thought to add this feature to Sense and Versa 🤷 if you track your exercise using Swim then as well you can log it manually. For water exercises which are not lane swimming the data you get are totally made up (and to be honest, for lane swimming, too). Mind that trackers with system-wide water lock engage the lock before you start tracking activity so you relying on auto-detection (another stupid design idea, how hard would it be to add water lock toggle maybe in the pause menu of activity?). For water activities, Fitbit is probably worst possible choice.
