Heart Rate for swimming: Is FR245 different than Garmin Swim 2

Hello,

I observe quite strange, highly changing HR while swimming and which are much higher than some other watches like Huawei. Is Garmin Swim 2 better in HR measurement than Forerunner 245? Or any advice in chest straps that work fine with swimming and can live sync with FR245 while swimming?

Unlikely, as they use the same sensor.

The FR245 does not support external chest straps for swimming.

I agree with you, i have both watches and I have the same problem

The heart rate sensor is different because the 245 has a pulsioximeter that change a bit the internal design
