Is it water resistant enough for swimming?

Can you swim with the heart rate strap and the Vivofit. Most bluetooth devices can not transmit under water. This is the reason I am sending back the Polar Loop and H7 because I can't track my heart rate while swimming.

It's been my experience that the vivofit won't give you any useful data in a pool, at least not for lap swimming. Of course, you'll want to know how many steps from the locker room to the pool and back. While swimming freestyle it counts random steps inconsistently and you'll lose the heart rate signal since bluetooth doesn't transmit in water. I suggest the Garmin Swim for lap swimming.

works fine on swimming pool but take care on salty water, after few days in the beach the display is now half visible.

Yes, the 220 is water resistant and it can be used swimming although the GPS does not work very well constantly being submerged under water.

No, it is waterproof, but i wouldn't recommend swimming with it. It will probably slip off, the elasic band wears out after awhile. I had to keep pulling it up after a month of wearing.

It is somewhat waterproof. I wouldn't go swimming with it but certainly having a shower so far it's ok. Haven't had any issues with taking a shower with it!

No, it does not appear to be water resistant. I would put it in a zip-lock bag for extra protection if you plan on traveling in a wet area.

I've got mine wet a couple of times, Don't know if you can swim in it. It take quite a bit of abuse.

They are made of silicone so they are waterproof but not sure if it will stay on while swimming or not. It's worth trying.

No it is water resistant. But mine never stopped working and I was out in a thunderstorm for 4 hours wearing it. It's about as close to waterproof that you can get.

I think 'water resistant' is the proper description. I would not take it into the bathtub with me. There is a rubberized plug provided with the Boom that covers the jack and usb port. I assume it protects them from entry of moisture but again, I haven't triedd to drown the thing and wouldn't advise testing the limits. It's not for scuba diving, but I think it will survive an afternoon by the pool, on wet grass, or in a light rain.

As long as you use it within the confines of what it says from the manufacturer, it should be okay. i only ever use mine when i run or am in the gym, it is sealed from sweat. and has been great in pouring rain. have never gone to swim with it though...

yes, but its not meant to be submerged. If youre looking for a GPS watch for swimming, you wont find one. All of my friends have different ones so ive got to borrow them. the best for swimming i tried was the Garmin Forerunner 610, but even that one and all the rest constantly lose signal with each stroke as it goes under water

Yes they are water and sweat resistant but you cannot wear them swimming. You will have to get waterproof for swimming.

Short answer: No.....water resistant to one meter for 30 mins and specifically states in manual "not intended to be used while swimming".
