I washed my Fitbit

I have a Fitbit One. I forgot to take it off my exercise bra this morning. Today was laundry day. When I realized my beloved One was in the wash, I couldn't open the washer door. I got it out and IT STILL WORKS! I am overjoyed. I had to post here since nobody I know in real life would care.

I have a Fitbit One as well and I also once washed it, about two years ago. It's still working perfectly! Aren't they the best?

I love this! Made me chuckle because it's so true! Glad your One still works. I use mine every day and would cry if I washed or lost it.

Hubby and I used to both wear fitbit one's. His made it into the wash on at least 2 occasions. It still works just fine! I'm not sure how it would do if it had made it to the dryer though. Thankfully I caught it before it ever made it there!

Looks like I am in good company here. Ha I had the same thought about the dryer.

Me too, but it was like a year ago. I'm so thankful that I chose the One because it seems to outlast some of the Fitbits that go on your wrist

ETA - When I washed mine, it showed that I'd completed 132 flights of stairs

Good way to meet your daily stairs goal AND get laundry done at same time!
Thanks for giving me my morning dose of laughter.

LOLing! Yes, we are your people! So glad to hear about the Fitbit. And very impressed! Way to go, Fitbit!

It's pretty water resistant. But it can't take any impact. I've wiped out two doing KB snatches (bell hits the wrist).

I got into a pool and swam 200 meters with my Fitbit One clipped to my shorts! Was shocked to see it still worked.
