When wil it be available in vivosport?
Hello I just got a Vivosport and I have this same question. I bought the device because it's rated for swimming (the word "SWIM" is prominently displayed on the box), but yet, there's no "swim" listed as an activity and I cannot even track my swimming either. Am I smelling a rip off or too much chlorinated water is finally getting to me?
You can swim with it, as it is waterproof to a typical swimming depth, but other than that, you can see here what the comparisons are to some other Vivo devices: Vivo series comparison
There you go, right on the box (maybe I should write '"wrong" on the box?')
Swim is the water rating, which is described here: Water rating
This just means it won't be damaged by water if you swim with it. This is not related to swimming metrics for activities.
Like the captain of the Titanic once said, "it's too late now". I think that it was dumb I did not look more closely at the rating and its meaning. It's also dumb that an article called "Vivosport" AND rated "SWIM" does not include functions for swimmers. Just saying. Thanks for your replies.
Where did you get it? You might be able to return it for a refund or exchange it for something else.
I could return it, yes... but that was my budget. I paid about $100 new, at Amazon. I'll adapt. I've been exploring MyFitnessPal and I can input data from that app. 'Tis all good. Thanks again.
