Pool Swim issue

Former Member over 6 years ago

I've come from a vivoactive HR and didn't have an issue with the Pool Swim function, but the 645m doesn't seem to count the distance correctly.

I'm in a 25 metre pool, set to 25 metres, but the distance is over resulted; any help or do I have a dodgy watch?

I had similar issue, but I started to make proper turns and it works usually correctly. Sometimes I get one pool extra, sometimes one pool less, but usually it matches +-1 or 2 pools per 50.

I'm swimming breast strokes, touch and turn.
I try for about 40 lengths and do 1k; but it just clocks up way too more lengths, more than 10% error

I swim breast stroke as well. When you turn, do you push off rapidly? I push off under water and it counts properly.

It’s a mix of turns
usually hand on wall, change direction and kick off

ive just been for a swim
counted 40 lengths of a 25m pool, which is 1000metres

watch counted 1300metres so 52 lengths. That’s 30% discrepancy!

Never had had this issue with my older vivoactive hr.
