Gear Fit 2 Pro - issues after swimming

[userwcGQYgrwB1]

I've had my Gear Fit 2 Pro for a few years now.

I've recently started swimming 3 times a week in a swimming pool. 

The watch is advertised as water proof, and has an app for swimming.

First two sessions it worked just fine, but after the 3rd session I noticed, it started doing something weird - randomly turning itself off, even when charged.

It's really weird - I would turn the watch on, and it would stay on/working for a while (sometimes it would be 20 - 30 minutes, other time it would be 1 - 2 hours of working just fine), only to at some point go completely offline on its own, without showing any error or anything.

I wonder if anyone encountered this problem after swimming (just regular laps in a swimming pool, swimming front crawl only) ?

Hello, We understand how frustrating it is when your watch is randomly turning itself off. You can try resetting the watch to see if that stops the watch from powering off. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00084702/ 

If the watch continues to power off, we recommend taking a look at the newest Samsung Watches available, as the Gear Fit 2 Pro has reached the end of support. https://www.samsung.com/us/watches/
