Is the G-Vivofit water proof?

It is supposed to be. I shower with mine on all the time and have never had an issue.

I have worn mine for over a year which include 1.5 hours 5 days a week in a 94 degree pool and about 2.0 hours a day 5 days a week in a 84 degree pool (aqua Zumba...etc). After a year of never taking it off and battery replacement, NO issues -- Works great and very water proof.

Yes. I haven, t gone swimming with it but I shower with it on and have had no problems.

I thought it was, but after water aerobics, the top half of the display went out and hasn't returned.

The only down side to wearing this in the shower is that your movements in the shower can easily add several hundred steps to your count.

I've been swimming with it 2-3 times a week for the last few months, and it still works perfectly.

I don't think its submergible water proof but I sweat in mine when I do yard work and I have had it on while walking in the rain to the store ,I would suggest that you keep it as dry as possible though because with electronics you never know!

No it is water resistant. But mine never stopped working and I was out in a thunderstorm for 4 hours wearing it. It's about as close to waterproof that you can get.

Lifetrak states it is water resistant to 30 meters. I have not worn mine in the water so no first hand experience.

Well I'm def not going to purposefully immerse it in water, but it has rubber O-rings (like on waterproof watches). It can definitely get wet, but I don't know about going swimming with it. High enough quality, it might just be able to.

No it isn't. But it is for the S4 Active which is "supposed" to be water proof.

Hi Tumang! The computer training is 100% waterproof. But in relation to G5 sensor, you need to put it in a impermeable sack and keep it with you, in your wetsuit, speedo or even under your swim cap.Good luck!

Good question! I don't know if it is water proof or not. I'm and avid runner, so anything apart from cardo exercises, I don't really Know!

It's water resistant. I've had more then enough encounters. Water proof "no". The button down the bottom for the charger also come out too....

Well, just about nothing is considered "waterproof" anymore! Even watches in most cases are considered "water resistant" these days! That being said, I have already gotten mine wet and no problems.

No. But it is highly water resistant. I see water proof as diving under water. Water resistant as swimming, showering, etc.

Yes. It's waterproof to 50m according to the Garmin site. It doesn't have any swim features though so you'd be better off removing it.

Hi, Yes it is water resistant to a depth of 30m/100ft. Check the Suunto website for further details on this watch. I strongly recommend you purchase it.

It's been my experience that the vivofit won't give you any useful data in a pool, at least not for lap swimming. Of course, you'll want to know how many steps from the locker room to the pool and back. While swimming freestyle it counts random steps inconsistently and you'll lose the heart rate signal since bluetooth doesn't transmit in water. I suggest the Garmin Swim for lap swimming.

Water resistant is not the same as water proof. Common sense says not to submerge any electronics in water even if using a water-proof case. I've gotten mine wet from rain and mud but not dropped it in a toilet, for instance.

Sometimes I take mine off to shower and sometimes not, yes water can get into these AND the Fitbit bands. Don't delude yourself into thinking the 'brand bands' do not have this issue also because they do. The bands are not waterproof, nor resistant. You have to care for your tracker. The trackers are waterproof, submerged in water up to 10 meters of depth. Thereafter no. If I notice water in mine, I take the tracker out, dry it well and then smoosh tissue up into both chambers to absorb excess water. Then I take a Qtip to both ends to make sure I have all of the water out. I've had mine for four months, LOVE my Fitbit and this works for me.

No, it is water resistant, not water proof. It can handle rain and sweat but not being submerged
