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?

  • Question for those with the Garmin Swim 2. Here are the things I'd like to have: 1. Distance in open water swims 2. Real time heart rate monitor 3. COuntdown timer (for intervals in teh pool) If I could show 2 and 3 at the same time, I'd be beyond stoked. I had just given up on finding that after having looked for a long time, and either not being able to find one, or not being able to find a salesperson who knew enough to tell me how to set up one to do that.
