My Fitbit Went Swimming With Me...

[MeredithMcFee 98]

today by accident. I had it clipped to the bottoms of my tankini {yes, my size 14 that I wore 4+ yrs ago} while I was cleaning the pool, pavers, etc. Note to self: DON'T FORGET TO TAKE YOUR FITBIT OFF WHEN YOU GO IN THE POOL {for the first time since it's 98 deg here}. Well, I forgot. I was in for a good 10 minutes when I realized I still had it on and quickly took it off and laid it in the hot sun to dry knowing full well it had to be a goner.

Brought it in the house and put it on it's base and I saw nothing. Walked away to get a ziplock bag of rice hoping for that to bring it back to life. Came back and Walla, it was working and synced up to my laptop!!! I thought for sure it was dead.

Note to self: Never put your Fitbit on your bathing suit while cleaning the pool, eventually you'll be taking a dip to cool off..... On top of that, lost another 3lbs. Two more lbs until I hit a loss of 50lbs!!!! It's all good.

99% of the time as long as you let a wet electronic dry out completely it will work normally again.. It's when people don't let enough drying time happen and try to turn it on and the last bit of Water inside causes it to short out. Also, a bag of rice doesn't do anything to help with wet electronics, i'm pretty sure the japanese made that up to up rice sales. But, yay! for it still working!
