Advice lapcounter watch, heartrate, perform.-details to pc?
Former Member
Hello everyone,
I´m looking for a waterproof sportwatch, which can do the following things:
1) Can it do an advanced pyramid-diagram with rising and descending distances like below?:
50 meter / 30 sec rest / 100 meter / 30 sec rest / 150 meter / 30 sec rest / 200 meter / 30 sec rest / 150 meter / 30 sec rest / 100 meter / 30 sec rest / 50 meter (*)
2) Counting laps
3) Total time
4) Total distance
(*) Interesting for road running, is when I can substitute the metre-distances into time (mm:ss).
Also very interesting:
5) Heartrate measuring
6) Get all the performance-details from the watch to my pc.
Although I often read that regarding to points 5) and 6) there is need for a cable. And often that´s a problem with water. Btw: I don´t swin in salt water.
I´ve read good reviews about the Timex Ironman Sleek 150-Lap. But I wanna be sure. Does it have the features I want? Or do you´ve an hint for an interesting alternative?

Thanks for the answer.
I´m almost sure it´s gonna be the Finis Swimsense.
I have a Swimsense. The functionality is good. Quality is terrible. Finis is good about sending replacements, but I think I am on my 5th replacement. Some of the replacements have failed the 1st or 2nd time out. They're not as waterproof as you might hope for a swim watch.
I've used a Polar heart rate monitor. It seems to work okay as long as the water isn't too hot. I've heard that the Finis heart rate monitor works well, but it doesn't persist any information. It just audibly tells you your heart rate every x # of seconds. I've heard that those have quality issues as well.
