Is It OK to Wear a Fitbit in the Shower?

Published in Fitness & Health 1 min read

It is generally not recommended to wear a Fitbit in the shower.

Fitbits are designed to be water-resistant, not waterproof. This means they can withstand splashes and sweat, but prolonged exposure to water, such as in the shower, can damage the device.

While some Fitbit models have a higher water resistance rating, such as the Fitbit Versa 3 and Sense, even these models are not designed for showering.

Exposing your Fitbit to water can lead to:

* **Damage to the internal components**: Water can seep into the device and damage the sensors, battery, and other internal components.
* **Reduced functionality**: Water damage can cause the Fitbit to malfunction or stop working altogether.
* **Voiding the warranty**: Most Fitbit warranties do not cover water damage.

To ensure the longevity of your Fitbit, it is best to remove it before showering. You can continue to track your activity and sleep by wearing it at other times.
