Fitbit on its last leg.

I am still using my Fitbit almost everyday, but over the weekend it had another unfortunate accident.  I am not sure what exactly happened, I have been very careful after the previous incident.  It fell to the ground and came apart a little bit.  Its not a little separated at the top, but on a good note its now more snug on the bottom just like it should be when you get it new.

Its still reporting everything fine on the fitbit, and so far it looks like it is also updating to the website, so besides a little cosmetic problems its holding up quite well.  Still getting about 10k steps a day :).

My fitbit survived a fall in water

About a week ago I stretched out the fitbit to where it was unable to fit snug on the pocket of my jeans.  Ever since then I had tried to be real careful with it because I just knew that it would fall off.  It happened once before, I was with my daughters at soccer practice and I lost it.

Thanks to some kind stranger who turned it into the office at the soccer field I was able to get it back.  This time I was not so lucky, I went to wash my hands and must have snagged my Fitbit as it flew off the pocket and dropped into the toilet.

I am just glad the toilet was just plain water at the time as I grabbed it out and took a towel to dry it off real quick.  Next i grabbed a zip-lock bag and some rice and threw the Fitbit inside.  I left it inside the rice for about 48 hours to let the rice soak up all the moisture inside.

Last night I finally took it out of the rice and tested it real quick to see if it turned on.  A successful test, next was to see if it was able to charge.  It only took about 30 minutes to fully charge it, and now I am waiting to see if it still last the average of 5 days without a charge or will it be dead in less then a day.

I was just getting back into the groove of using my Fitbit and I really hope that it survived this.  Next I need to find a better way to keep it secure while its on my body.
