Does it track swimming

This model is not water proof. The newer models are water resistant and would track distance for swimming. I just would not submerge it at any depth. I wear my new version all the time and have not had any issues with water.

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

i use the Alpha Mio continuous heart rate monitor watch while swimming. it reliably gives heart rate while swimming without pushing buttons. i can keep track of my heart rate without stopping and looking directly at the dial because there are colored LED lights that flash my approximate heart rate which are easy to check during the swim stroke. After the swim/run/bike ride, the watch will give me average heart rate during the workout and length of workout. I am not a mio employee.

No. It calculates the estimate by skin temperature, movement, and some other things through the sensor. I use both armband and a polar hrm and they are pretty much the same for my activity. Sometimes the hrm will be moreand ssometimes it's less.

Yes it does. It tracks duration, distance, avg.pace, avg. speed, max speed, and calories.

Sorry - it is not recommended for swimming. However, it has a way you can enter the style of swimming, the level of effort and the time spent and it will calculate the approximate calories burned. I did this while in Greece and had no problem. It is not recommended for the shower either.

Well, it definitely tracks any type of ambulatory movement. My wife does not do yoga, but she does swim and it does not track that. She inputs that online.

Yes. It does have a tracking fin. As far as seat comfort is concerned, it is fine for me but my husband adds a extra cushion for support if he is going to be out int the kayak longer than an hour.

No, it does not. You could wear it under your swim cap and have the running mode on. However, I do NOT recommend this watch. When training for my tri I used a regular swim watch and never tested this watch out in the water because I didn't think I needed to. Well, the day of the tri water got in the watch. It's not entirely waterproof. I've had the watch less than it year and it turns on and off (probably water damage). Bad buy.. Hope this helps!

I'm afraid it doesn't. It is an exercises device, not a going out info. It records your traject, speed, heights and other data like that. Good luck

Yes it does. This is a great watch and especial great for tri-athletes because the transition from swimming, biking and running is simple!

yes, it does. I don't use this watch anymore though. The software is desktop only so I switched to Garmin Swim so I can upload data online and access it at any time.

it doesnt track anything its just computer set up. the best way to do is use the manual tracking.

it does monitor heart rate if you push and hold a button. I would not trust it to be completely waterproof. I am on my second LifeTrak, and with the first one, I trusted the claim of waterproof. It quit working after two months. LifeTrak customer service was great and replaced it, but I don't trust the new one to be completely waterproof.

Yes, I have this issue too and I swim with it as well. I usually take out the tracker and dry it out a couple times a day. I'm assuming that the tracker is waterproof though! I've had mine for 3 months and it's still going strong.

It uses gps for ocean swims and for pool swims you have to put in the length of the pool and it calculates your distance

I don't know because I don't swim with my watch. I do take shower wearing the watch and it is Just fine! HRM gets detected immediately when I water the strap and wrap it around chest. Hope this helps...you may want to check with other reviewers.
