Just wondering if anyone knows whether you can wear the sensor in the sea and does salt water affect it?
I haven’t been on a sunshine trip since wearing it (6 months) so I’m looking for tips. I’m aware of the 1m / 30 min advice etc.
I did contact Abbott helpline but all I got was a generic almost robotic like response which didn’t answer the question to be honest.

No problem!

But just like with swimming pools or a long soak in the bathtub, the glue can become less sticky so you might want to use an overpatch to make sure you won't lose it, especially if you want to swim for more than 30 minutes at a time.
