Can you swim with this device?

That's a double No.Firstly, Bluetooth cannot transmit through water.Secondly, and pathetically enough for a device that will obviously be exposed to rain and sweat, the Runtastic transmitter isn't waterproof.

Would not recommend it, also it works in conjunction with the app on your smart phone via Bluetooth, so unless you have a water proof phone, not a good idea. It says Runtastic not Swimtastic

Yes it can. I wear it when I swim in my pool. Make sure your battery is good. Occasionally the chlorine content in my pool will cause spurious signal issues, but it works. Also don't push any buttons on the watch under water.

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

No but it is made of soft silicon so I would imagine sand would stick to it and get inside it which would be irritating. I don't think it would be a problem to swim with it in a pool.

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.

You can't use this tablet under the water, the device only accepts splashing of water, but you can't inmerse it in water.

I am sorry, but I do not know the answer to your question. I bought it for my daughter in Alaska and she has not used it when swimming.

Yes you can, but better don't. Basis does not recommend swimming with it because of the damage a dive can cause to the watch and band. If you don't dive swimming with it is apparently no problem.

you can definitely have the phone underwater. don't know if the headphones will work or not.

By looking at the construction of it you would think so. I have a life proof case and in theory it would work. But if it didn't. For any reason. I just ruined my units. I would like to test this since I swim as well but just don't want to risk it.

I never tried, but I have been using mine in the pool for a couple of months now and it works just fine.

I have done a couple of open water swims with it. You need to put it in "run" mode to get HR readings. I also believe they don't have a good system yet for lost GPS data, as my Garmin would make a accurate guess, where the TomTom has zigzags all over... If you are looking for straight HR, it seems to work, but I don't know yet if I would count on the GPS data for swimming. Regarding the GPS data for running/biking it appears to be more accurate than my Garmin units, and it also updates quicker than my Garmin did providing me more realtime data than my Garmin seems to.

It is water resistant but cannot be used for swimming. The gps tracking does not work properly when swimming. I believe the more expensive model (550?) is suitable for swimming.

I used mine right out of the box but have yet to go swimming with it. Not sure it's waterproof!

I didn't swim with it. Took it in the shower with me and brought it in the pool and took pix underwater. Only thing I would suggest is getting a self timer photo app. Screen doesn't work very well underwater.

It is not advisable since it is a battery operated device. Pls do not submerged in the water.
