Have you used the Garmin swim watch? What do you think? I am swimming at a pool in Germany now with no lane lines and the pace clock is rarely turned on so wondering if this might be a good new "toy" to add to my attempted workouts.
I have both the Finis Swimsense and the Garmin Swim. I'm training for some long open water swims so will crank out multiple miles in a pool, and find either watch invaluable for counting laps to see how far though my workout I am.
For pace though you are much better off using a timex ironman watch and just set a repeating interval with an alarm.
Finis have a history of quality control problems (e.g. my swimsense will no longer upload data), but is definitely the more mature product. I prefer the fit and finish on the Garmin unit, and the fact that I don't have to charge the battery and carry the dock unit (I travel weekly).
