    Can I swim or shower with my Fitbit Charge 2?
    carli
    almost 2 years ago
    The Fitbit Charge 2 is only guaranteed to be water resistant. This means you can use this device in wet environments, wash your hands, or take a shower. However, it cannot be placed in deep water for a long time, when swimming or diving.
