Open Water Swimming

Felt It was better to start a generic thread rather than posting in a thread that was discussing  'OWS inaccuracy'

I've now been swimming in the sea with the 5+ for the past couple of weeks so six or seven swims overall. Each of them without any of the problems that were so prevalent last year. Not losing the signal, distance and track are good. This is an open water swim course we have here. Buoys are approximately 250m apart and the total distance abut 2km depending on tide. I have a 250m alert set that went off almost alongside the buoys, which was useful this morning was I tracking about 15m inside the buoy line on the way out. I was sighting off some cranes at the port because the buoys are small and hiding in the chop this morning. 

Anyway, in short, in my opinion, Garmin have fixed open water swimming for the Fenix 5+. I will let you know if it changes.

  • Hi there

    You are commenting on a more than a two year old question. If you stil have an issue you should create a new one.

    Garmin is having one of the finest support-tracksrecords, so your experience it is a bit odd.

    If you have bought your device at a store, then you should return the watch to the store - and they will handle the support-case for you.
