It should work, but there are times a Fitbit won't spring back to life after having a dead battery for a long time. Might be a good idea for you to charge it up and see how it goes. Some people on the forums still use a Flex, but it was retired quite a few years ago.

Much more than a pedometer, zip tracks your steps, distance, and calories burned then automatically syncs the data to your Fitbit account. Whether online or through the Fitbit application, you can set goals and stay motivated to keep on your path to fitness with graphs, badges, and friendly competitions.

The Bottom Line. Among wrist-worn activity trackers, the Fitbit Flex is the best and most competitively priced one you'll find. If you're not stuck on wearing a bracelet, though, the Flex's close cousin, the Fitbit One, is the obvious choice.

While both brands offer outstanding, high-quality wearables, Fitbit has more budget-friendly options, superior battery life, and better health and fitness tracking than the Apple Watch. The Apple Watch edges out the Fitbit in terms of accuracy, convenience, and extra features, but it may be too pricey for some users.

Fitbit trackers aren't meant for the most hardcore of athletes, but they're still excellent devices for tracking overall activity as well as monitoring certain health and wellness metrics like EKGs and blood oxygen levels.

All Fitbit trackers are water-resistant, which means they are rain-proof and splash-proof and can stand up to even the sweatiest workout. Optionally check out Returns & Warranty before contacting support.

Welcome to the Community Forums. As @MegaBite has mentioned, most Fitbit devices are water-resistant to 50 meters. They're designed to be swimproof and stand up to even the sweatiest of workouts.
