I've been relatively happy with my Garmin 920xt for the last four years, but looking to upgrade. What are the favorite Smart Watches on the market today?
I am primarily interested for pool and open water training (and events), and it would be great to be able to incorporate a heart rate monitor and a water-temperature gauge into the actual watch.
It would be nice if it worked well for calculating kicking and one-arm (off arm) drill distances to get a better handle on TOTAL session distances.
Connectivity to social fitness platforms would be fantastic.
Any recommendations?
I like my Garmin fenix 6S. It has a built-in wrist heart rate monitor that works when swimming and a temperature gauge. The gauge measures the watch temp, which is affected by body heat. My fenix 6S often automatically uploads my swim to Garmin Connect via the YMCA's WiFi before I even get out of the pool. (Note that if you want WiFI connectivity, you need to buy the sapphire edition.)
