Swimming: it counts more pools than real

Miky

Done 94 pools, it counted 100.

It adds a pool every time I check the HR at the end of a pool: I come to the end of the pool, I stop swimming for max 1 or 2 second, just the time to give a fast look to HR and pool count, sometimes I don't even put down feet to the floor!

Never had the problem of watch stopping counting pools or counting less polls, if it fails it counts more pools

    I'm noting that the errors occurs at round lenghts numbers: 10, 20, 30, 40....and so on

    Another one today, another one at a "round number" of lenghts. It can't be a coincidence

    any news?

    Perhaps you somehow disturb a stroke by touching the lane line or tapping a swimmer's hand coming toward you? This could depend on which hand you have the watch on. The slightest variation in the acceleration profile will trigger a new length. My watch is 99.99% accurate unless the above occurs, or I have to slow down because of a slow swimmer or accelerate to pass such a swimmer. Finally, make sure to reboot your watch every couple of weeks (I do so after charging).

    No swimmers, I swim alone and no touches on the lane line. The problem is that until FW 15.19 it was perfect, no lenghts more or less than real and I didn't change my style or type of trainings in last months (I do 80-100 freestyle lentghts everytime without stopping). Since FW15.19 it counts more lenghts, never less, and everytime it adds one at a round number of lenghts (10, 20, 30...)

    Have the same issue in a 50m pool all of a sudden. 25m seems to be fine. Have the watch since last year and never had issues like this :-
