I have a garmin instinct solar tactical and it’s a piece of garbage. I swim 2-3 times per week pool and open water and the watch crashes 1-2 times a week. I’ve tried formatting and resetting to factory settings, custom settings so there’s only one screen with laps / timer and distance but it still crashes when I stop the workout. It’s basically useless too try to maintain any kind of consistency with recording data. Junk watch. I highly recommend anyone but a different watch if they want to use it for swimming.. unless garmin has a fix - which they haven’t for about a year or so. Still enjoy the swim just don’t rely on the watch
