best waterproof wrist monitor?

I don't care for the way it fits on my wrist, so I haven't worn it after about a week of purchasing it.

I have never used it underwater so I can't speak to its quality in that area.

I have been using the Oregon Scientific SmartHeart SE102 Heart Rate Monitor with it and it works great. Oregon Scientific Heart Rate Monitor Watch

The GSI is probably water-resistant to a depth of several maters, so you likely wouldn't hurt it if you wore it while swimming as a watch. However, the heart rate monitor works on the basis of wireless transmission from the chest strap to the GSI. This is designed for transmission through air, not through water. I wouldn't risk it.

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.

No. Most of these have a water resistance of only 30 meters. You require a minimum of 200 meters (300 preferred) for a dive watch. It's more of the pressure exerted on the watch rather than the actual depth. With 30 meters rating you'd probably be safe washing your hands.

Hi Tumang! The computer training is 100% waterproof. But in relation to G5 sensor, you need to put it in a impermeable sack and keep it with you, in your wetsuit, speedo or even under your swim cap.Good luck!

It's just a watch battery and a led light (which is very bright) so no its not waterproof.

As far as the watch being waterproof...Timex says it is 50- meter water resistance...As far as the band they give you a 800 number in case you need a replacement....Hope this helps

There is no "other" waterproof housing - to my knowledge. (But...never say never.) The camera functions just fine without the monitor attached, as the manual points out. For what it's worth, the Go-Pro won't fit in it's waterproof housing with the (optional - extra cost) monitor installed either.

The one I got was the Garmin Premium Heart Rate Monitor (Soft Strap) ordered on Amazon. It works perfectly.

Mine kept failing and I've found if I put a bit of water on the HR monitor before I put it on it pairs up better. Don't soak it, just run your finger under water and then wipe it on the sensor parts of the HR monitor.

No zero stop. Supposedly waterproof. 8541 tacticals's YouTube channel has a good torture test video. It holds up pretty well in the video.

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.

I swam with mine in a lap pool. Never leaked but it is reall bulky and you can feel it holding you back on your wrist. when swimming, I used a smaller hr monitor watch for swim because that was all I needed and it wasn't getting in the way.

All chest HR monitors are sweat-resistant. In fact, they MUST be a little wet to work properly. But if you're looking for something to track your HR while swimming, this won't work.

No...... this device isn't water resistant in that sense. I ran w it in a light rain and the bezel had some difficulty,,, there is a Garmin that is water resistant, but not this one. Hope that helps.
