Average product, you can do better.

An "interesting", but quite understandable policy of Garmin was revealed by me on their official website (I can't show the address according to rules). I was unable to post my review of their product on their website. Apparently, he did not pass moderation. I wrote on their forum (I can’t indicate the forum address according to rules) about this - I expressed my opinion about Garmin’s policy, which is to “screen out” reviews they don’t like. My message on the forum "hung" for several festive…

Pros
  • Positive emotions tend to zero
Cons
  • 1. Constant failures in determining the swim distances in the pool 25 meters. "Floated" pools are added, sometimes up to three instead of one. 2. All statistics in connection with paragraph 1, to put it mildly, do not correspond to reality. According to this watch, my "records" in breaststroke pull on the master of sports of international class (58 seconds for 100 meters). In reality, I still can’t swim four pools faster than 2 minutes. That is, the clock is wrong twice.

Impressions from the purchase are good, buy.

The watch is specifically for swimming, there are no show-offs in it, but even for such a nondescript watch, the price tag is high. For men, the watch is frankly small and the strap is short. For women, the size is just right. You have to charge every 4 days if you swim daily. They are extremely reluctant and stupidly friends with the phone (Xiaomi mi6), the application lags, the synchronization is long. The watch faces take a long time to load, and you don’t understand if the phone is frozen…

Pros
  • Weight, pool counting accuracy, measures heart rate in water (when swimming! ), relatively fast interface. You do not notice on the hand.
Cons
  • There are cases when the watch could not download data to the phone. All characteristics were loaded up to a certain time: after 17-00, for example, no steps, heartbeat, stress, etc. I could not set up Bluetooth unlocking with this device. The phone refuses to beep when you turn on the search from the clock. Once I was able to find a phone - now silence, dancing with a tambourine did not help.

As such, there are no disadvantages, it is convenient to use.

wow, the watch is called Garmin Swim 2 in plain text, but you constantly see complaints / reviews that they didn’t go to someone with a bicycle or it’s not ice to run with them, even from official magazine reviewers . Funny previously, three copies of Garmin Swim were worn to death, my review of which moderators once stabbed to death, calling it an advertisement. At first, it was sad that the Swim 2’s replaceable battery was replaced with a battery (I changed the battery in Swim every 4-6…

Pros
  • a set of consumer properties of watches specifically for swimming: segment count, stroke count per segment, pulse, in theory - GPS (see comment), weight, size, UI, desktop Garmin Connect
Cons
  • there are no unfulfilled expectations, the description and reviews were read carefully before buying. It would be great if someday they screwed up the turnaround time, like MOOV

A high-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

I looked at this watch for a long time, thinking whether it was necessary or not, and yet I bought it. I chose with a bias towards swimming, I wanted the watch to determine the heart rate in the water, without additional sensors on the chest, because they are quite expensive and inconvenient. This watch determines the pulse in the water and is quite accurate +/- 1 beat. Compared the old fashioned way with a stopwatch for 10 seconds. It’s also cool that you can set up a warning if you climb into

Pros
  • Excellent quality, accurate data, accurate calculation of the number of swimming pools, concise design, user-friendly interface, super visual application.
Cons
  • Rubbed my hand after the first workout.
