does the watch let you know if you are outside your hr while you are swiming if yes how

Not that I'm aware of.. Seriously the watch does allot more then I could have ever imagined, but I'll look into the manual and get back to you if it does. Cheers! PS I love my watch, can't imagine ever doing laps ever again without it. It's improved my swim.

"From poolmate" At the moment the PoolMateHR does not have any alerts if you move outside your zones but it is something we could think about implementing. I will add it to the enhancement request list :)CheersLisa

Yes, you can dive off the blocks with the Garmin Swim watch. Most the time it will accurately measure the pool distance if you start taking strokes right after your dive. If you glide far before you begin your stroke it may not measure your lap correctly. Most the time though, it works just fine. Hope this helps. Cheers!

It has a strap on your chest with a sensor which sends the reading to the watch. It has a setting on the watch which can be set to "constant" and it will give you a readout all the time. There is a function which I haven't tried yet which will give you the duration of your exercise and maximums you reach.

Yes. This watch can be set to beep if your heart rate is too fast or slow. Does not beep when you are in your zone.

Negative. The watch already has a heart rate monitor. You can display real time info when using the exercise function.

No. You have to place the index and middle fingers on the sensors that are next to the watch display. In a few seconds it will show the value of your heartbeat and the percentage relative to the maximum for your age.

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.

Do you wear wear something on your wrist now? If so are you willing to wear something else or instead? Do you need a device that is water resistant? Do you want a device that shows data (steps, etc.) on the device itself, or are you willing to look at your phone app/computer dashboard for details? Do you want to track flights of stairs?

I don't think só...because The Watch works sensing your arms movement...while you are surfing it will think that you are not moving at all!!!

GPS is not intended to work in doors, nor does it. The watch uses an internal accelerometer and a user entered pool length to measure indoor swims. The accelerometer will identify when you push off from the wall (with open or flip turns) and thus count your laps. The device also uses the accelerometer (arm swing and force of impact) to calculate treadmill runs. The device includes the ability to calibrate these runs as well.

Yes. But I'll answer this in a little more detail. It will show your HR continuously. Press (hold for 3 secs) the button below it and it will say START. It will then show the HR continuously until you press the bottom button (hold for 3 secs) again to STOP. Once stopped, you can clear it by pressing and holding the lower button on the right side and it will say Clear in 3, 2, 1. Then it will all return to zero. It will periodically tell you when the HR is within zone or outside of zone. The message appears in the center HR area but then disappears returning to the HR. But does not show zone continuously. It would be nice if it would give a little tone or something to let u know when the in/out of zone appears. But you have to look at the watch a lot to catch it. I don't use this feature tho. If you calculate your hi/low HR zone, all you need do is check the HR periodically. You can see for yourself if HR is out of zone. And if it is out of zone, how much. Sometimes out of zone may be only a few heart beats. In which case you know how much you need to slow down or speed up. But really, if you are monitoring your HR you can see when you are getting close to being out of zone and slow down before you go over the line. Don't need a continuous HR zone alert then. Hope this helps.

No, it automatically tracks it for you as long as you have the watch on your wrist and turned on.

The watch will give you the time, but not on the same screen that shows the heart rate when working out.

I swam with mine in a lap pool. Never leaked but it is reall bulky and you can feel it holding you back on your wrist. when swimming, I used a smaller hr monitor watch for swim because that was all I needed and it wasn't getting in the way.

The strap I bought came with the watch. I purchased it heartratemonitorsusa.Just so you know the heart rate strap is useless under water. Hope this is helpful!

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 test the polar in pool and the sea in both is possible measure the heart rate
