Can I use it while swimming

I think if you are a strong, fast swimmer they may come loose..... This could be remedied by using goggles to secure them, or a swimming cap. I do a fast side stroke and I haven't had any problem with them coming off while swimming. I also do a slow- medium freestyle and I haven't had a problem with them. I love them....for the price, give them a try. You could always use them for relaxing pool time or work-outs...

Yes. My daughter and I have been using them 2-4 times a week all summer and they work great. Makes the lap swimming go by much faster.

Yes, you are able to swim as long as you don't go six or ten feet underwater.

I havent tried them in a pool, I have used to hiking and cross under little falls or quick immersions. I havent really use to swimming long distance, I have also used it to do ecuarobics it works.

All of the documentation I have found online states water resistant.Which usually means as long as you aren't diving with it you should be ok. My concern though would be the optical sensor on the back used for measuring heart rate. I personally would not swim with it on.

Although I've never participated in a swimming triathlon I see no reason why you cannot. I'm a scuba diver. The suit helps insulate body heat as well as helps with aerodynamics while under water. It seems reasonable that it would be suitable for lake use. Hope this helps.

Yes, I wore mine in the pool & lake several times and it worked just fine. However, after I changed the battery in the HRM, I haven't worn it in the water.

No you can't, but honestly if you are buying this to go underwater or use it in the water i don't think you would want to risk your headphones or want to risk your phone.

Yea you can, just not under water. I tried! This is GREAT product. One thing to be aware of is leaving the phone sealed inside the case on a hot day while your not in the water, it will heat up sooooooo fast.

I have not tried it swimming. However Mio says it does. Waring, do not push any of the buttons while swimming or water will get in and cause damage.

I have been wearing mine in the pool for close to a month now with no problems. I don't think you can dive in it, but it's ok for swimming. You definitely can wear it it the shower or bath too.

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.

Sorry it isn't water resistant you can exercise with it but can't go swimming with it. There are three holes on the bottom so it can fill up with water if you swim.

No. And don't wash your hands while wearing it, either. From their website FAQ: "The Withings Pulse is not meant to be worn while swimming and as it is not waterproof it is not meant to be worn while taking a shower either. When exercising, we recommend that you place your Withings Pulse into the provided Belt Clip to avoid direct contact with the sweat for a prolonged period of time...Please note that any physical or liquid damage will void the warranty." Mine went dead after about two months, and because I hadn't read the small print, I didn't know this. I wore it on my wrist for endurance running (lots of sweat) and didn't remove it when I washed my hands throughout the day (activity tracking). When it stopped working and I tried to get it replaced, they made sure I knew that they would be able to tell whether it was ever wet and if so my warranty would be voided.

No. It is not good for swimming. Even running it seems that the sweet enters the watch.

The paperwork says it may be worn when swimming. Also, to maintain water resistance, do not press button under water. Page 16 in getting started guide. So, I guess you can wear it while doing dishes. Just don't press the buttons...hope that helps.

Haven't tried it but they said water resistant and washable. I highly doubt it. There aren't many in the market that let you swim and listen.

I took it to the pool and did some laps with it. It would work sporadically, it matters how deep your head goes underwater And how far the device is. I hung my phone in a bag midway thru the lap and that helped with distance. It worked well in jacuzzi after. So you can swim with them but not recommended. It's more of a selling point to stress the water durability of the product.
