Hey guys. New fitbit flex user here. I got a fitbit flex as a gift from one of my friend. I just stared 2 days ago. I read thru some review and it's stated that it's waterproof but not recommended for swimming or diving.

Thing is i went fishing yesterday and after fishing, it stopped working. I remember during lunch synced with my phone and i did about 6000 steps already. But i couldn't sync after that. I thought maybe the battery died.

Then i tried charging it but it couldn't turn on. I then dumped the tracker into a bowl of rice, hoping the rice could soak the tracker dry. This afternoon i charged it and voila it synced with my phone again.

But i realised it stopped tracking yesterday at 6000+. Problem now is everytime it syncs, it'll go back to 0. I guess the chip inside must've broken. Any idea if this is covered by warranty?

Just fyi, i didnt went swimming during fishing. I merely washed my hands only. But i sweat alot.

Ok got it. I can drop by the fitbit shop in lowyat right? Are they able to assist?

Friend bought from china. Anyway I'll try to call before i go.
