So my new insurance plan pays for a fitbit (we get an allowance). My son plays sports and sometimes it's raining or snowing...and I'm wondering which Fitbits would be considered almost "all weather"? Looking at the Charge 2 mostly.

TIA

    I have the Charge 2 and I have accidentally swam with it, showered with it and been washing things in the lake totally submerging it and it's working just fine. I also have cracked my screen though and still working. I don't try and do these things I just forget about it some times because I wear it every day.

    I have the Fitbit Flex 2. Its one of the more basic fitbit options, but it is waterproof. I shower and swim with mine on.

    I have a charge 2, you're not supposed to submerge in water but it's slash, rain and sweat resistant..

    Take a look at the product descriptions on Fitbit website for the official claims.

    Thanks everyone :)

    (And yes I did read the description but I'd rather hear from real-world -- what's on paper doesn't always work in real life)

    Usually if it is raining or snowing I have on done type of jacket so it limits how wet my Fitbit gets. I have the Alta - never even considered some weather harming it. I don't shower or swim in it though. And for the mud run I did I put it in a waterproof pouch under my shirt.

    Fitbit flex 2 and fitbit iconic are both fine for swimming, do pretty sure they would be ok for rain and snow
