Is the VivoFit waterproof for water aerobics?

It does have a gasket to keep water out, I shower with mine and do dishes without any problems.

Yes, it's perfect for that because your feet are touching a surface. I'm using it in the surf of Hawaii right now but it doesn't measure swimming kicks, just the steps.

Hi, it is waterproof. It says it on the instructions and I also swam in it yesterday so it was submerged in water for long periods of time and still worked. However (and this might not apply to what you're asking) my transmitter (around the chest) kept losing signal so I need to figure out if there's something I need to do better to avoid that. But the watch itself worked just fine under the water.

Not waterproof. The front is a little shield piece of plastic The band itself is just elastic material. If your have a case on your phone (it will fit but it is tight) that should be your sweat protection.

I don't know about it being waterproof, but I use this to teach an hour-long aerobics class. At first, I clipped the transmitter onto my pants. At the end of class, the case was sweaty. I would take out the batteries and leave the case open to dry out. Recently, I ordered the Shure brand belt to go with it. It works well with the belt.

None of the units (the gowear fit, bodymedia fit, or the bodybug) are waterproof. With the bodymedia fit/gowear fit it allows you to put in that you swam during the time and it calculates your calories. The BMF is the newer version of the GWF and I suspect it's the same website. The BMF tracks sleep whereas the BB does not.

This model is not water proof. The newer models are water resistant and would track distance for swimming. I just would not submerge it at any depth. I wear my new version all the time and have not had any issues with water.

I don't believe it specifically says it's waterproof but I have swam with it on the pool and it works fine.

No, Just water resistant (sweat, small amounts of moisture) not waterproof!

The Basis B1 was water resistant but not waterproof. We don't recommend swimming while wearing the band but it should be fine in the shower.

Garmin takes on Nike , 1/Vivofit first advantage is the battery life. where most other fitness trackers pack the typical rechargeable lithium battery, the Vivofit uses two standard watch batteries. This gives the device a battery life of up to a year, A fitness band that lasts for a year on a single charge !!! 2/ It's pretty comfortable, an essential requirement . 3/ The device offers a large display , Sport Always-on display !!! 4/ Garmin's Connect app is the only one that tracks heart rate !!! they've included a chest strap that monitors your heart rate. 5/ The fact the Vivofit is 50m water resistant is also big advantage while others haven't any swimming features. 6/ The wristband in which it clips into. wristband is interchangeable- you'll get two different sizes small and large in the box, and Garmin is also offering a range of colours for you to choose from. It might not be the most stylish fitness tracker on the market and lack of back lighting .but has unique advantages that bats Nike or others.

Haven't tried it but they said water resistant and washable. I highly doubt it. There aren't many in the market that let you swim and listen.

My husband uses it just about daily when he swims laps. It is definitely waterproof. He has had problems in the past with this product but they seem to have been mostly with the connection point of the earbuds to the unit. The current unit and earbuds have been working well.

Yes this product is a real lifeproof but mine failed the water test and is a pain to charge. Also the calls are not as clear.

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

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.

Yes it is. I use it for water aerobics in a pool with chlorine. And after about 15 classes so far, it is still holding its shape. I'm loving it.

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!
