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.
