Srcky, April 11, 2013
This is my second review, after the firmware update. In my previous review, I have complained that the watch doesn't recognise slower turns. That is entirely fixed in the new firmware (beginning of 2013) and even the lightest tap on the wall will be recognised as a turn. Consequently every contact with anything else (the rope for example) during the swimming will be recognised as a turn. Problem with recognition of butterfly (half the time recognised as freestyle) and breast stroke (often recognised as backstroke) persists.
Srcky, January 11, 2013
The item recognizes front crawl (freestyle) without a mistake. Not even one. However breast stroke is often recognized as backstroke and/or the length is not recognized at all. Butterfly stroke is sometimes recognized correctly but often is recognized as front crawl. I am swimming front crawl style mostly, and I use the watch as a counter, so it works all right. It seems that the watch needs the turns to be done more aggressively than it is done at breaststroke swimming. A new software version might be better thou. The strap is somewhat short, and for me to wear it comfortably it would need to be at least 10mm longer. Circumference of my wrist is minimum 200mm.The watch looks like standard watch which I like. It looks and feels as good quality item. Its profile is low but I feel some drag when swimming butterfly only (arm movement is the fastest when swimming butterfly). I don't like that every time you pause (to fix the swimming goggles for example) it returns the counter to zero. Here, long end short press could be introduced. Nevertheless, I am happy with the item and feel that this is only the beginning for those products. I see more of them coming in future.

I wish this watch could sense when I stop swimming so I would not have to remember to stop and start it. I constantly forget to do both and it effects the accuracy of the data.

Do what it says but sensible to stroke type. Do not stop in the middle of a length, it will record two lengths. Minimum pool is 20 meters.
