Swimming OHR finally here!

The new 2.64 Beta finally allows the OHR to be turned on for swimming! Has anyone had a chance to try it out? I'm hoping to be able to squeeze in a swim tomorrow to try it out.

Tested on 1000m pool swim. Approx 5-7bpm down on HRM-SWIM that i usually use.

Interestingly it will looks for an external HRM when saving, you have to wait till it says "do you want to save without a HRM…

Just tested today for a 3000m , it seems quite reliable... next time i'll compare to my Polar OH-1 that it's almost identical to HRM-Swim

Thanks for the explanation

I have a HRM-Swim and a 935 (not selling until 945 proves reliable)

Will do a side by side comparison

I'm so agree with you. Last phrase too :P

No, there should be no drastic increase and it isn't stable. The HR widget will bounce around 75 - 120 bpm while I'm showering. It returns to the mid 70's when I finish and dry off.

Do we *want* to ask *what* you were doing in the shower? :)

Not unless you want to expose your sister. :) I can be funny too.

I don't see anything like that, at all, very strange!

Tested with a 2000m swim, it seems to work perfectly, no artefact whatsoever.
went up when swimming, went down when resting

You have interesting view of what is perfect :D

If it goes up when you swim and goes down when you don't, doesn't sound that it's working perfectly. Sounds more like it isn't totally rubbish as it knows when you swim and you don't, but perfectly working to me would also require the HR numbers to be accurate.
