Here's the biggest openwater swim test on RU-vid, with every brand of triathlete/openwater swim watch, and a dozen current models. This round-up includes the most popular watches for triathletes and openwater swimmers:
- Apple Watch Series 6
- Apple Watch SE
- COROS VERTIX 1
- COROS VERTIX 2
- Garmin Forerunner 945
- Garmin Forerunner 945 LTE
- Garmin Fenix 6 Pro (Solar)
- Garmin Instinct Solar
- Garmin Swim 2
- Polar Vantage V2
- Suunto 9 Peak
- Wahoo ELEMNT RIVAL
Certainly, the case could be made for trying to squeeze in a few others (e.g. Garmin FR745, COROS Pace 2, or Polar Vantage M2), but ultimately, my little watch travel case only had so much space, and I only had so many days to swim on vacation. I suppose the alternative solution is just to go back on vacation. Again, in general I was focused on the most recent versions - with including both the VERTIX 1/2 being a case where I thought I’d have this published before the Vertix 2 came out. Though as a bonus, you actually get data for both (and, they’re dramatically different)!

@@Dcrainmaker Great stuff, more n=2 tests please, especially for the hr stuff.

@MateHegyhati 3 года назад

@@Dcrainmaker I would assume, it is similar to that of "distance guessing" while running without gps. The magic algorithm turns cadence and whatnot into speed based on prior data. I assume that the watches were connected to Your GC account, thus using your data as a reference. To test this theory, it would be fun to have the same watch on both wrists, however, one is connected to your GC account and the other to that of your wife.

@Dcrainmaker 3 года назад

@@MateHegyhati That's a super interesting theory. Though, I've never heard of any manuf doing stroke-rate ties in from the cloud, but still, totally plausible. I've got a general e-mail to send off to Garmin and Suunto in the coming days, so, its on my to-do list to ask.

@MateHegyhati 3 года назад

@@Dcrainmaker Looking forward to find out. Completely different question: do you think, or see any signs, that there will be a standalone gps unit with ant+ broadcast that you can put on your cap or something, and sends the data to the watch? Maybe only post-swim, like the HRM-swim does with hr? I swim very seldom, and only do breaststroke (or something like that), so putting such a sensor to the top of my head would make sense. (Now I put the watch on the straps of my glasses.)

@IleniaCore 3 года назад

@trieb 3 года назад

What settings are you using for GPS? I have huge problems with the FR935 that only records very few points despite the setting of recording every second. But for OW it seems to try something "smart" that doesn't work. The distance is often off by as much as 20%.

@Dcrainmaker 3 года назад

GPS+GLONASS for everything. In OWS mode, the algorithm takes over and does its own update rate rather than 1-second, because it doesn't really have enough viable/clean data for one second. The biggest tip I can over is ensure the watch has good satellite above water before pressing start, and then wait 5-10 seconds (still above water) after pressing start before you start actually swimming. Do the same post-swim (get watch out of water, wait 5-10 seconds before hitting stop).

@Rainyfeels 2 года назад

What about the 935? I do open water swims with that frequently and it is absolutely terrible. I sync before and wait 10 mins with a green lock before going in. A 1KM swim can end up being one line of 50 meters sometimes. Feels like enforced obsolescence for me, on my device...

@markpinfield Год назад

Thanks for such a great review. I (used to) have a Vertix (1) and it was pretty awful for swimming. Added data most of the time but then, on long swims (10km+) it would miss literally half the swim. The app would not let me manually modify the correct distance either (it would stop at 9999m). A shame, because I liked it for running/trails.

@marcinkaczmarek916 Год назад

I've got one important question regarding the Apple Watch & iPhone. If I swim with both (AW on the wrist and iPhone in a buoy dry-pocket) is there a way to force the AW to use the GPS from iPhone? When I'm swimming open water with breaststroke I get almost no tracking of the distance (because the watch is under water). But when swimming with iPhone anyways - can't it take the GPS data from the watch? I've tested it - and it doesn't :/ Or maybe there are some external GPS devices which could be connected to AW/ iPhone? I know you can put your AW inside of your swimming cap - but then - you loose the HR data.

@neletg 2 года назад

Great video!! I use an Amazfit GTS2 Mini (cheap, light and small SmartWatch) and I was thinking to improve to another one but as I can see in your video, don't worth the investment. The Amazfit do a very good result for a fraction price and also upload automatically the workout to Strava.

@danielsong8440 Год назад

According to astrophysics GPS underwater doesn't work well because radar cannot underpass its frequency in water. But generally swimming is done on superficial part, that's why it may capture some regular or irregular draw, but never perfect as when run or bike routes. Submarines for example doesn't use GPS radar to move, and, instead, they use other supeiorntechnology with sonar and map calculations.

@taklayagelensermest 2 года назад

@BelmontBarbell 3 года назад

i suspect swim technique can have a big effect on the results. I regular swim with someone who had the same watch as me and always end up with a distance significantly longer than me. We tried swapping watches and using other watches (all Garmin), and no matter what we do she always records at least 10-15% further.

@feimberg 2 года назад

Possible. The fact is that my gps tracking with the Garmin swim 2 is pure garbage and useless. Literally kilometers of errors.

@Alex-kr7zr 2 года назад

In case you have a buoy, try putting the watch there for reference. As I can't swim freestyle yet, for me that's necessary to track distance at all.

@carlosmobellan9443 3 года назад

Great video as always DC, and the location was amazing (we're in hard lockdown in Sydney atm so everything looks amazing!!). I wasn't too clear on two things though. Firstly, how did the Instinct Solar miss the start and still record an accurate distance? Secondly, on your wife's swim, how did the 945 and Peak 'correct' in the opposite direction to accuracy? Apologies if this has been addressed in other comments or on your site. Cheers from Down Under.

@Dcrainmaker 3 года назад

Hi Carlos! And sorry to hear of the most recent lockdown for ya. I don't really understand how the Instinct 'missed' the start, but, I suspect the distance was done because it actually guesstimates by stroke-rate and attempts to fill it in. So once it realized it was supposed to be doing something, it appears like it back-ported the distance for the first portion of the swim, about 1/3rd of the way into the swim (you can actually see it in the files). My guess is it used a quick look at my current stroke rate per GPS distance and did simple math. As for both the FR945/Peak matching on my wife, while those matched, they did not match the actual reference distance or my distance (which was definitely more correct). That day was basically half the normal circuit we were doing, so the 1,000m it thought was far more than the actual distance we did that day.

@Dcrainmaker 3 года назад

In openwater swim mode there's no difference, as under the covers the algorithm actually negates it anyway.

@ted363636 3 года назад

Great work as always. I was wondering if swimming does affect watches' altimeter functionality. I had to replace my Fenix after 1,5 years due to altimeter malfunction and now I'm a little afraid to swim with it.

@Dcrainmaker 3 года назад

Yes and no. It does immediately after a swim, and especially more salt-water than fresh-water. But assuming you shower with your watch eventually, it usually rinses it out (just like showering rinses out salt from sweat and stuff). That said, altimeter malfunctions are more common that any other component breaking on a watch, but I wouldn't overthink the source too much. Electrostatic discharge is also a super common scenario.

Generally when indoors, it's got a long time to figure things out, and, your position doesn't tend to change much. The density of water is vastly more than air and glass of a window. It's why things like ANT+ or Bluetooth Smart signals only go about 1-3cm underwater, versus up to 100 meters outdoors, even through trees/buildings in some cases.

No wonder why Garmin are best in test, when half of all the watches are from Garmin.

Yeah, that's just the way the market has worked itself out. The reality is that any one of those Garmin models outsells all the other non-Garmin models combined (except Apple Watch).
