Love my Swimmo. Since I started using it, my lap time is down 7 seconds. I am swimming more consistently and have lost 60 pounds. Thanks Swimmo.

Watch is reliable. When I have a question reply is quick and to the point.

Thank you so much. Now my swimmo watch is working.

Here is my positive review of this Swimmo Watch that I bought at the end of August 2019. First of all, I bought Swimmo because my Samsung Galaxy Watch stopped tracking swimming workout. While swimming for less than 30 minutes was working fine, but when I started to swim over 40 minutes got damaged within three weeks. So if you intend to swim with any Smartwatch from Apple or Samsung, consider the fact that they could easily get damaged with pool water. Since I am using Swimmo (30th August 2019), I did 56 workout to date. I've been swimming, on average: 6 days a week, 42 minutes and tracked over 90% of my workouts with Swimmo. Everything worked fine, the watch for me is great and it's doing exactly what I bought for: tracking my laps, distance, time, heart rate, but most importantly, because I can visualize my results, my motivation is very high. Tracking: laps and distance are 99% accurately, no doubt about that.Heart rate is accurate, when I swim relaxed stay below 105 BPM, I tested in the steam room and sauna and my BPM goes up to 130 after 8 10 minutes, so again it;s accurate. The calorie counter, to be fair I cannot say, but if Swimmo says 480/500 after my 40 minutes free style swim, I am fine with that, not so important. Now, one missing feature is the auto stop. basically when you stop to take a break you need to manually pause the workout. For me it's not so important, it's easy to double tap on pause icon and restart. Battery: it can last 3 to 4 swim of 50 minutes, after that I charge it just to be sure it works on my next swim. To charge, it takes 1.5h via USB dock, not a big deal. the Screen, yes it's is quite hard to tap and activate, but it has to be that way since it doesn't have any physical buttons (good thing so no water can leak in). Also, it is advised to keep Swimmo in a case otherwise it can gets activated with bumps (and if you don't turn it off, the battery runs out quickly). Fits: It's very lightweight, fits perfectly on my wrist, it's very comfortable to wear and swim, and for me, better than an usual watch. It doesn't have any buttons on the side, and it's a good stuff as no water can leak in (not like Galaxy Watch where you need to eject water via function) The OLED screen, yes is not futuristic or as modern as any smartwatches, but, we are swimming, not playing with the screen. The screen remains always on while swimming, which is a good thing, you don't need to stop to check. It can vibrate every 25%, 50, 75 and 100% of your workout, so I am aware of my workout without interruptions. (other smartwatches, the screen dims after 5 minutes with no chance to keep always on) Connectivity and APP. I am an Android User, I have a Google Pixel 3 XL as most recent phone and I keep my Galaxy S6 from 2016 as backup. The connection with Android was and can be painful, as you probably require to download other Bluetooth apps, and YES, it might not connect. With IPHONE, no problem at all, it can take up to 30 / 40 seconds to connect, every time, but it does work. It is not a Bluetooth pairing, the app will get Bluetooth permission and then synchronize with the watch. Myself, I use my partner phone to sync my workout. Not a big deal. To be fair, at the beginning I was a little bit frustrated, but by now I got used to it. I am not using Android to sync it, I am not saying it doesn't work with Android, but with my 2 Android phones, I couldn't manage to get a smooth synchronization as I am getting with iPhone. Again, This is just me. Swimmo App: the app is fine, you can see your workout in a decent format: for each lap you can see the time, heart rate. It is accurate. Now you cannot see more details such as SWOLF and other fancy stuff for professional swimmers, but for me, it's not so important as i am not swimming for competition, but just to keep in shape. So if you are a triathlete and you are after an awesome Swim watch, just spend the money and get a Garmin. Period. But a good Garmin is €400 to 600 vs €200 of Swimmo EUR. For me was and is more then good. (also having a 300£ smartwatch, no way I am spending extra for a Garmin). I read most of the reviews here, and I genuinely think they are not fair, also I can only see 70+ reviews and they are all in some shape negative or poor. For me they DO NOT represent the real Swimmo. My suggestion is to consider exactly what is your swimming purpose. If you want to track your workout with accurate and basic information, and you want a reliable watch for swimming, SWIMMO IT IS. If you are a pro swimmer and you have the money, then get a Garmin. I am swimming in a good gym pool, I see out of 20 guys, only 2 or 3 have a watch and most likely a Garmin, but they have the cash and probably they do track more sports besides swimming. If swimming becomes your only sport, well Swimmo can be the right companion. I lost 11kg in 4 months, swimming at least 6 times a week for 40 min on average and Swimmo was definitely an important part for keeping my motivation up. Lastly, if you read my story: Swimmo cost 179£ or 199 EUR. Is it worth the money? from 1 to 10 I would give a 8. I hope it will last for long time, so far all good. Delivery. it's free and comes from Poland via Post. you will get it within 7 working days, it's not amazon prime, but can you wait? And, if you have issues or questions, the Swimmo customer support are very nice and they reply very quickly and professionally, at least they were very nice to me. I hope my review can be useful to make the right decision about this swim watch. Happy swimming to everybody and, for me, having this Swimmo tracker, it is definitely valuable. Best wishes.

Swimmo, The reason I didn't ask to send it back was because I wanted it to work. I tried everything you suggested. It's not up to me to find working components that should be included in the product, to make the watch work. If it was, as you said, the cable, don't forget you provided that cable. Those kind of cables tend to have different connectors. None of the cables that I tried worked. I'm not going to try cables that don't fit in case it damages the watch! It was on you to supply everything needed to make the watch work, and you didn't. I shouldn't have to spend four months trying to get your product to work. I find your attitude and product horrifically bad. You haven't even offered to reimburse the postage I had to pay for to send it back.

Estou muito satisfeito com meu Swimmo. Confesso que no início tive alguma dificuldade em entender seu funcionamento, mas o pós-venda da equipe Swimmo é excelente e tirou todas as minhas dúvidas. Recomendo!

I have to say I'm very disappointed with this product. I have had it for a few months now. And I seem to be spending half my time charging it. The battery never seems to last past one swim. The watch turns its self on regularly. I have been unable to sync it with the app. For the money this product cost and the amount of weeks it took to deliver,along with the very obvious issues with it I would not recommend it

I've had this watch for a while now. It's more frustrating than useful.
