How to Clean it The following procedures are from the Manufacture (Fitbit). Regularly clean your band and wrist—especially after working out or sweating. Rinse the band with water or wipe it with a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Do NOT use hand soap, body soap, dish soap, hand sanitizers, cleaning wipes or household cleaners which could get trapped beneath the band and irritate skin. Always dry the band well before putting it back on.
Keep it Dry: While Fitbit devices are water resistant*, it’s not good for your skin to wear a wet band for long periods of time. If your elastomer band gets wet—like after sweating or showering—rinse and dry it thoroughly before putting it back on your wrist. Be sure your skin is dry before you put your band back on.
Don’t Wear It Too Tight: Make sure your band isn’t too tight. Wear the band loosely enough that it can move back and forth on your wrist. If you use Fitbit products with Purepulse Heart Rate tracking, for better heart rate readings during exercise, we suggest wearing the band so it’s secure, but not too tight, and wearing the band higher on your wrist (about 2-3 finger widths above your wrist bone). Lower the band on your wrist and loosen it after exercise.
Give Your Wrist a Rest: Prolonged rubbing and pressure may irritate the skin, so give your wrist a break by removing the band for an hour after extended wear.

Final Verdict I'm a guy who works out 2-3 days a week with weights and runs 2-6 miles a day at 6:15-8:00 minutes pace. At first, I was working-out without any fitness tracker, and one of my friends introduce me to this device (Fitbit Charge 2). When I started using it, I was able to see how I was performing. This device acted as my motivator, it always keeps me going. It gives you accurate record. Again, it has auto exercise recognition, meaning I don’t have to change any setting when I switch from running to weight lifting or any other exercise. It will record each activity separately. In all, if you ask me, I will recommend it for you. Based on what I was using it for, I had no problem with the device.
