Review on Garmin Swim 2 GPS Swimming Smartwatch With Wearable4U Power Pack Bundle (Whitestone) by Dave Wolf

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!
