Garmin Swim - Swim Watch - Blue (Electronics)

Customer Review

Outstanding and friendly.
Regular swimmer for years, I do not always have a driving clock (the big stuff 50 cm in diameter, color) available and readable in the pool. I tried to swim with different watches stopwatch. Nothing to do with the Garmin. Unlike anything I've used previously, without its strap holds that we should strangle her wrist, its buttons are not pushed every time you move the hand, the watch does not slide around the wrist during the movements in the water. Happy owner of a Suunto Advisor of a nearby volume, I feared an effect "ball". Not at all: you do not feel the watch or bracelet when swimming.

As seen through his goggles, one can easily read the dial at the end of each length. Garmin has made efforts on usability (and correct French, and more). Two buttons to push water will ultimately departing and presto, it's gone. The watch detects the type of practiced swimming, records everything, asks nothing. You push a button when one stops to breathe. We can already see a summary of what we did on the screen. It pushes the button when we leave.

At home, can be found on the dial the various results achieved, with a short and simple menu. If you open a Connect account (free) on Garmin.com and that connects faux WiFi watch his PC, everything is transferred and displayed on a personal area of ​​Garmin Connect. The opening of the account and transfer are very simple (the scope of stupid way I am). Then we find on the site all the data in detail, with statistics that I am happy to discover and would not even think to ask, all in color, easy to examine. So I hope that the NSA and Obama will like my résultats.Et can ask for more if we add subsequent workouts. For fans of social networks, you can share it all with friends interested. or save it to their hard drive.

And, surprise, the watch has never cheated during this session, the length of the pool, the different types of swimming, the number of arm movements and dwell time (all this without pushing a single button). Of course, I swam without stopping in the middle of a length or change three times swimming in length and with a more or less constant rate.
In these times of Flex Fitbit and Jawbone Up, very dear to primarily teach you that you have slept well, this watch is what I found best for a workout swim alone (even in a busy water line swimmers of different levels).
Small vanity continues to display, fashion shows, the total clocked bottom of the screen.
In addition, I find it pretty. But, hey, I find pretty as my Suunto Advisor (for 13 years).
