![]() With my flex I had to wear the Fitbit and a watch. ![]() (My nutritionist told me that heart rate training really is the key to the exercise component of maintaining a healthy weight.)Īs compared to the Flex I also like the display better on the Charge HR because you can use it as a watch and it gives you a lot more information than the Flex. Having the heart rate monitor on the Charge HR really helps me if I am doing heart rate training, that way I can see how long and how often I reach different heart rate levels. With my Flex I purchased two different watch clasp style bands to replace the original pop tab band, but neither of them protected it fully from water, of course. I have never had this Fitbit pop off my wrist. The Charge HR has a clasp style band, which I greatly prefer. I previously used a Fitbit Flex so in comparison to that, there are several general features of the Charge HR that I really like. Things I like about my Waterfi fitbit charge HR: You can't even tell a difference can you?! Actually I think the black one is a large, while the purple one is a small, but otherwise, same-same!

They have a waterproof eReader too, for your favorite tub or beach reading friend.įully Waterproofed Fitbit Charge HR ReviewĪfter discovering the waterproofed Fitbits from Waterfi, I reached out to them to do a review. If you're shopping for a really hardcore swimmer or surfer, they also have waterproofed Underwater Apple iPod MP3 Players! :-O I KNOW. They currently offer fully waterproofed Fitbit Flex, Fitbit Charge HR, Fitbit Alta as well as waterproofed FuelBands. So in answer to our original question, “ Are Fitbits Waterproof?” My answer is only the Fitbit Flex 2, the Fitbit Ionic and the fitbits that are waterproofed by Waterfi. Waterfi is a super cool US Based company that actually buys certain models of Fitbits directly from the company, opens them up, seals the internal components and closes them back up. I'll tell you who makes Fitbits waterproof. If neither the Flex 2 or the Ionic are doing it for you check out the 19 BEST Waterproof Fitness Trackers for some other brands. If you have been getting away with swimming and showering with your fitbit, again- that's awesome! But just know that it is a gamble.

However according to Fitbit's own website, their standard trackers are really water-resistant or splash proof and not meant for regular immersion in water, such as swimming and showering. Which…is awesome and if you are one of those people, then I'm so glad you are one of the lucky ones! Many people write in to tell me that they wear their fitbit in the pool or shower every day, or even that they washed it in the washing machine and it was totally fine. So a while back I write about 5 Ways to Make Your Fitbit Waterproof, and I have gotten a lot of responses to it. Today I am talking once again about my favorite activity tracker, the fitbit, to answer the popular question, “ Are Fitbits Waterproof?” The short answer is- only some of them!
