How does it rank up with working out? I want to get this fitbit but the only thing that is stopping me would have to be the water resistance. That there is none. Can anybody who work's out tell me their experience with it. null

It is water resistant, just not waterproof. I use it all the time working out and love it.

I workout with mine and my gym stays hot so I'm always sweating! I personally haven't had a problem with the sweat affecting the Fitbit or the calculations of steps and heart rate. Hope this helps!

I've had the original Charge HR for almost two years now - no issues with sweat while running/hiking. I don't submerge it (stays at home when I'm in the kayak) but do dishes with it on all the time. Hasn't died on me yet!

I work out with my fitbit and sweat and I have had no problems. Of course you can't submerge it in water but if you sweat your fitbit should be fine. One time I got caught in the rain while working out and my fitbit got pretty wet and it continued working. Should you decide to purchase a fitbit, it would be wise to purchase the extended warranty also.

From my experience, small splashes of water are ok, like when you wash your hands. I wear it all the time except when showering of course. Sweat is no problem, if I get drops of water on it I dry it off, no problems yet.

I use it for running and haven't had any problems yet. I wear it day and night. Just finished washing dishes - I don't let it get submerged, but other than that satisfied so far.

Take it off when you shower. It holds up fine to sweat - just rinse the band with water and dry. Don't submerge it in water ... for normal activities it is fine.

I'm not suggesting you do this but, I've forgotten to remove it when swimming and it's fine.

I use mine for circuit training and have had no issues there is water resistance levels to it can even wash it with a mild soap and water. If you want to keep it a little more dry try covering it with a arm or wrist band
