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?
You can customize the data that is shown on each screen. I just got mine and am not an expert, but I set my second 'data screen' for Open Water to show three fields - distance, elapsed time and heart rate.
That would be perfect. I did go ahead and grab one, used it Thursday night in an open water swim. I would like to see for pool swimming just heart rate and timer (i.e. interval/countdown timer). Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out this, only the presets. And I really don't care how many steps per day I take! Especially since I only wear it when I swim.
