Wearable4U - Garmin Swim 2 GPS Swimming Smartwatch with Power Pack Bundle (Slate) 549

I love this watch. I had an Apple Watch that I was using for swimming for quite some time. It was fairly accurate and it did miss sometimes. But it frustrated me because of the touchscreen. I love this watch because all of the buttons that can be operated in the water. With a touchscreen, it’s impossible. I love the lap button for sets. The auto lap button is accurate also, if you know what you’re doing. When you come to the wall, If you push off and glide before you start swimming, it helps immensely with the accuracy! I’ve been swimming competitively for many years, After some practice, this watch is highly accurate and very fun! It’s also incredibly easy to read in the water! Very good purchase for me!

Bought this watch to help me deal with covid isolation. My local outdoor lap pool is open for lap swimming and I wanted to make myself more accountable and track my swims to see if I was getting better. I did some research online and every review said this watch would be the best for swimmer focused athletes. The watch is comfortable, the Garmin app is great and easy to use. The watch is smart and tracks my lengths accurately. I have a 100ft pool and the watch is smart enough to convert times / pacing from meters into yards.The watch also allows basic tracking for running, biking, general cardio and sleeping. These features aren't incredibly powerful (i.e a fitbit will track those better) but they are still accurate enough for me to use to track my general activities over time.The swimming features are definitely the best I've seen. You can create your own workouts on the app and use your watch to track times and pace etc. As mentioned before the stroke and distance counts have been accurate for me and it's definitely helped me keep track of how I'm progressing with my swimming. The watch face is easy to use and intuitive and is clear under water so you can check things while swimming.If you want something to help with track your swimming, I'd recommend this watch. I haven't had the ability to check the GPS accuracy on open swims yet, but the GPS is accurate for my runs, so I think it should be good there too.Battery lasts about a week with me using an activity tracker nearly every day.

I picked this device because it could measure swimming, which I do regularly during summer. But it also does quite a good job measuring steps and measuring other workouts. My former device the Polar Ignite 2 was extremely buggy and trouble prone and it was murder syncing workouts and worse updating. It was quite pretty, but the touchscreen was pretty buggy as well and it would occasionally lock up and require a reset. On the other hand, this device has been trouble free except for the fact that after syncing, I still had to step through the watch setup (even though all the data was already there). And the manual is a bit terse and tiny (even the online one) and I had some trouble trying to figure out what it was trying to tell me. But after a couple of weeks, it's done everything I wanted to do with trouble free syncs to my phone and online. Garmin connect even sync'd to my Medicare account online. Nice device.

After my original Garmin Swim watch was stolen during a house break-in, I have been searching for a similar product. I received the Fitbit Ionic as an upgrade through work and thought it would deliver. However, after just over one year (and past its warranty) it quit working. I found the Garmin Swim 2 and find the functions comparable and better than the Fitbit Ionic.The watch syncs up to my phone and alerts me when a call or text message has come in. Due to COVID, however, I have not been able to test the swim features. I participated in two virtual runs in the past two weeks and the mapping and timing were almost perfect - hard to decipher perfect based on comparison with Google Maps. I haven't tested on the trails yet but will try to do that this weekend. One thing I haven't found is selecting a walk vs. run so I usually select run and then change the activity type in the Garmin app.overall, I like this watch and believe the quality outranks the fitbit by far!

This is my second review after using it again today. Keep in mind this does NOT count meters for you. You tell the watch how many meters, or yards, the pool is. it just counts your laps and does the math for you. To catch your laps you have to push off hard enough at the beginning of each turn. This means you also have to end with a final 'turn around'. Today I swam 2400 meters. I know this because I counted in my head like have been doing for years. the watch only states 2375. Since I start and end on the same side of the pool it should never be an odd number.My only guess is when I finished I touched the wall and clicked to stop. it never captured my last lap because I didn't turn around when I finished. gonna test this out tomorrow but keep that in mind.also, I did 200 meter kick at the end and it didn't capture any of it even though I pushed off the wall hard each time.

Es de mucha ayuda para medir el consumo calorías y el progreso en el entrenamientoSaludos

The watch works very well. But don't buy this set because the charger that came extra doesn't work and is totally different from the one shown here.El reloj funciona muy bien.
