Smart Watches for Pool and Open Water

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 agree with staying away from fitbit for swimming. I have a fitbit versa, and it doesn't do a very good job of keeping track of how much you are swimming. It is based only on arm movement. It also can't track heart rate in water. I do like the watch for everything else though.
