The Garmin Swim watch has been on the market for almost 5 years, connects to your computer via USB ANT+, and has all the features you need for both recreational and sport swimming.Watch Features– The Garmin Swimwatch does not have a GPS module, so it cannot measure the distance swum outside the pool.– When swimming, you must touch the edge of the pool and the watch records the distance swum thanks to the accelerometer.– In addition to the distance swum, the watch also records the number of strokes swum, recognizes swimming styles such as breaststroke, crawl, butterfly, and breaststroke, and calculates the calories burned.– This watch also measures swolf. Swolfe is the sum of the time required to swim the length of one pool and the number of strokes per pool length. [all data is stored directly in the watch and can be read off the monochrome backlit display.– This watch uses a low-power ANT+ connection and cannot be connected directly to a cell phone. It connects to a computer via the included USB device and records swim data in a Garmin Connect training log on the computer monitor. This can also be installed on your cell phone and your training log will be synchronized.– The watch displays the time and date, of course, but does not have a pedometer and does not display notifications for incoming calls, messages, etc. because there is no Bluethooth technology or direct connection to a cell phone– It does not have a rechargeable battery, though it runs on regular button batteries, The watch can run for up to one year.– The watch is lightweight, comfortable to use, and does not get in the way when swimming.The Garmin SWIM may seem a bit old-fashioned today, but it is an excellent watch for swimmers, with all the necessary features, a battery life of up to one year, and a reasonable priceof 3,990 CZK.
