Almost all modern Fitbits are waterproof and can often be used for swimming or other water activities. That said, it's more likely you need Fitbits to be waterproof, so you don't have to take them off when you wash your hands or do the washing up – and there is nothing wrong with that. It's convenient to have a waterproof fitness tracker, and if you're after one, you'll find all the waterproof Fitbits listed below.
The best waterproof fitness trackers – among them, you'll find some of the best Fitbits, too – allow you to dive into a pool or jump into the shower in the morning and not have to worry about whether you're going to damage your wristband. More and more trackers are now waterproof, thanks to refined manufacturing processes that allow brands to seal the tech inside the watch case to stay dry even when submerged in water.
However, not every Fitbit device is pool-worthy, and some models are better kept on dry land. So in this guide, we're going to run you through each of the company's waterproof watches so you can choose the right one for you.
We may use the term 'waterproof', but it's worth noting that doesn't mean these trackers can go anywhere wet and do anything when submerged. Each of these trackers has limits, so we've included the exact details with each entry. If you want something that can handle deeper water, check out our guide to the best swimming watches.

Waterproof Fitbit safety advice
As well as knowing how deep you can take your Fitbit, the company also has some advice on what you should do after taking your band in water.
The official Fitbit website has a note in the waterproofing section for each of the products above (apart from the Fitbit Ace) that states the following: "After swimming or getting the band wet, we recommend drying the band because, as with any wearable device, it's best for your skin if the band is clean and dry. We do not recommend wearing [the device] in a hot tub or sauna."
If you're interested in further details of how you can protect your Fitbit and your comfort when using one of its products around water, the company has even more details on its website.
