Waterproof? Does it track swim strokes? Does it track yoga movements?

It will count swimming and yoga as steps every stroke or movement your arm does. But I don't know if it counts it as walking or jogging for the intensity.

Hi, it is waterproof. It says it on the instructions and I also swam in it yesterday so it was submerged in water for long periods of time and still worked. However (and this might not apply to what you're asking) my transmitter (around the chest) kept losing signal so I need to figure out if there's something I need to do better to avoid that. But the watch itself worked just fine under the water.

I don't know about it being waterproof, but I use this to teach an hour-long aerobics class. At first, I clipped the transmitter onto my pants. At the end of class, the case was sweaty. I would take out the batteries and leave the case open to dry out. Recently, I ordered the Shure brand belt to go with it. It works well with the belt.

This model is not water proof. The newer models are water resistant and would track distance for swimming. I just would not submerge it at any depth. I wear my new version all the time and have not had any issues with water.

Yes. This was important to me too when i was doing my research. It took some digging, but I found out that the poolmate hr is the only watch that counts your laps and recorders heart rate under water. Something about the frequency the poolmate uses for heart rate works under water while other training watches do not. The good news is that the heart rate monitor also works out of the water - when you run or train on your bike. It's a great feature that I use regularly.

Asfar as I know it's waterproof. I wear mine 24/7 since I had it, and nothing has happen to it yet. I wear it working out , swim, and shower.As time goes buy the halogram will probably pop off. Nothing last forever!

There has been confusion about the "waterproof" label the s4 active has. Though the s4 active can withstand some water it cannot withstand alot of water. I would not go swimming with the s4 active or this shield. This shield is a waste of money..looked horrible.

I've never used it IN the water (i.e., swimming), and given that it is an electronic gadget, I wouldn't think you would want to purposefully put your heart monitor under water. But I get pretty sweaty during my HIIT workouts and I don't think spilling a little water from your water bottle from time to time harms it.

I just put my oldies on it and swim for an hour. It does not have a counter for the number of laps. It is waterproof and inexpensive and I really have used it everytime I swim. 3 times a week. Also the battery lasts for a long time, between recharge.

I do not know if it is waterproof (I have not worn it in the pool or shower), but I have worn it in the rain on many, many runs, and have sweated all over it (sorry, not trying to be gross, just a fact of running) and I have never noticed any problems with it. I really recommend this unit as an inexpensive alternative to the other GPS watches out there.

Yes, this model is water resistant and I do use it for swimming, from time to time. You will find a good review and plenty of interesting comments about this watch here: http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/11/garmin-forerunner-depth-review.html

I have not tried this with swimming, I don't think it was meant to do that. I have used it to exercise - and it did get wet with sweat and still works, no issues

The biggest thing I was looking for was it to be waterproof since I workout in a pool. I got the Flex about two years ago now and I love it. I don't need it to tell time or any of that so this is my favorite.

It is waterproof, but you can only take videos as the touch screens are not responsive under water.

Sometimes I take mine off to shower and sometimes not, yes water can get into these AND the Fitbit bands. Don't delude yourself into thinking the 'brand bands' do not have this issue also because they do. The bands are not waterproof, nor resistant. You have to care for your tracker. The trackers are waterproof, submerged in water up to 10 meters of depth. Thereafter no. If I notice water in mine, I take the tracker out, dry it well and then smoosh tissue up into both chambers to absorb excess water. Then I take a Qtip to both ends to make sure I have all of the water out. I've had mine for four months, LOVE my Fitbit and this works for me.

I don't think só...because The Watch works sensing your arms movement...while you are surfing it will think that you are not moving at all!!!
