Is this the only Garmin watch that measures HR while swimming?

The title says it all. I would like to know if Swim or Swim 2 are the only Garmin watch to measure heart rate under water, while swimming? Does the Fénix 6 have this function ?

If Swim is the only Garmin product line to have this funiction, why is it so? Is this just a way to have you to buy several watches? I bought a Garmin Vivoactive, and my only disappointment was precisely this point, that it cannot measure my heartrate while I'm swimming.

IFF i wear both the V3 and the Swim2 and put the v3 on "aerobic" rather than swim, the results regarding HR measures while swimming are quite similar with the V3 tending to be 5-8 bpm lower, but with the overall pattern being very much the same.
