Does it work well for underwater swimming?

yes works well, just under the water. Works 10 ft plus if the ear phones are in perfectly.

Since the pressure changes in your ears the deeper you go, it does not work well if you are more than a couple of feet below the surface.

It actually works best for underwater swimming. When ears are out of the water, you can hardly hear the music. You hear it loud and clear when underwater. Warning, though, I would not buy this again because of other issues.

Haven't tried the mp3 aspect of it, but as far as the radio goes, the radio frequency gets interrupted by the water. If you go more than 1-2 feet below the water surface, the radio picks up a ton of static; any lower and you'll just get pure static. Also, a lot of times the ear buds aren't the best suited for blocking out water (yes, I know it's what they're supposed to do), and if there is any water leakage from the pressure of diving underwater, then your sound will be diminished significantly (as in, the sound coming through the ear buds will be muffled due to the water). Gets pretty annoying when only one ear bud leaks though since the sounds is clear on one ear, and muffled on the other lol.

yes, its waterproof for maybe for up to 2 ft under water. I took it on a cruise, used it on snorkeling excursion in Aruba.no problems, all was good.

They claim that is. I've never used it underwater. On YouTube there' are videos that show mixed results.

Not that I've had, but I haven't used it for extended underwater use. I've taken it swimming in rivers a couple of times and the pictures and video have come out clear.

I find it to be very satisfactory. I use mine for underwater video, I get two 1 hr dives in and I haven't run the battery out yet.

Yes. It's actually good above water and works fine. But it doesn't work below water. I used it in salt and fresh water about 20 ft max.

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

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 bought it for snorkeling in Cozumel in March. The water was about 75. It was great for that. The neck was a little loose but that was fine for what I needed it for.

I wish I could give you an anewer but it was broke when I received it in the mail so I was never able to use it. However I swim at least two to three times a week and I know a few people who use it to while swimming. So to answer your question, yes it does work under water.

It works well for scuba diving. I prefer the video quality to the GoPro and Contour because of the video stabilization. You will need to purchase the ADA-RD1 with the flat port for underwater. Happy shooting

I've only snorkeled. It's great for snorkeling I don't know about deeper waters

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.

I am sorry we haven't tried it under water but it does work great for the purpose we bought it for.

I've never used them for swimming. I only use them for sleeping. There's only one way to find out if they work while swimming. Good luck.

If you mean water resistant, because of sweat, it may be OK. I'm not sure if it would be the best for aerobics, as the flexible mic holder could drop away from your mouth. This is not a waterproof mic or transmitter. They are very good quality, but stay out of the water!

I wouldn't use it for swimming, i used mine in the rain once and the mic+clicker died
