Smart Watches for Pool and Open Water

SwimDogs
over 4 years ago
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?

    PWB, have you had enough use with your swim 2 to comment on its accuracy and precision related to calculated data yet? Not only for logging info for OW swims, but Iâ€Tmve been looking for a device which would provide quite specific details within a pool workout. For instance, a set of all out 25â€Tms that can graphically represent velocity or distance vs time.Unfortunately, our pools aren't open here yet, so I can't yet comment on how well it works in the pool. I do quite enjoy it, though, in open water, but have yet to swim on any 'marked distance' course, so I also can't comment on its accuracy there. It seems realistic in the OW.
