Swim 2 Beta 2.20 available

Thanks!

- At first check auto rest stop/resume issue is solved

- last length pace solved. Note, that in auto rest the value might be updated delayed, when the auto rest function detects when the length is ended.

- all the others will be tested at the next swim :)

"For any issues that you encounter please fill out the form included in the download"

Maybe its just me, but I do not find any form included. If needed, I can send an email though.

addition after first real test:

- map issue is solved

- I did not have problems with HR measurements, and it remained good

- stroke type identification feels to be the same, but I see it as an indication of faults in my strokes. Backstroke identification was 100% perfect

Hi!

Further Bug Reporting

- Light During Activity and Gesture Mode on "ON" is NOT working. Only works if Gesture "ON" is Set in "Not During Activity"

  e.g Option -> Light -> Not During Activiy Gesture is "OFF"

        Option -> Light -> During Activity Gesture is "ON"

        If i start a Swim Workout the Light wont turn on alldoh Gesture is "ON"

- Auto Lock? 

 What does it do? Always / During or Not during an activity - -> Nothing is happening with this Feature. I have to

  manually Lock my Watch.

- Bluetooth Stack is painfully slow at times. Also have to Reboot Watch several Times during the Week to get it syncing 

  again in the Garmin Connect App.

Please advise and post new Beta Firmware for further testing. As of know i swam around 200km with the Watch. The Left Down and Middle Button feel the wear a bit allready - feel soggy.

sleep recording is totally hosed in the beta.  If i wake up for 5 minutes, go to another room, take blood pressure, pee, meditate whatever, either the watch or the connect app is only recording the last segment.  Suddenly have gone from 6-9 hrs/night to....2-3 hrs p/night.  

There is no problem with the sleep recording. I recorded the following with beta 2.20 this night. All of the segments are recorded, and all sleep stages (even REM, what seems to be missing in 2.10).

Note, that as far as I know Garmin Swim2 does not record naps. They need some time to recognize the inactivity as sleep. Taking blood pressure, and extra meditation wakes you up, and the watch drops the previous segment, as it recognizes it as a nap/rest only. If you want to record your whole sleep, you need to sleep, period. There is a huge physiological difference between waking up for a pee, or waking up for a meditation/blood pressure measurement, whatever.

Note2: usually I do not use (in)activity tracking, this was a random test only. Last time when I tested, I put on the watch only right before the (short) sleep, and it could not recognize my sleep, it reported as a rest time. But I find it a correct way for sleep recognition.

When are you going to publish a new release (public) version for Swim2?

my vivoactive 3 is much more accurate in re sleep recording and stroke detection.  I can hardly blame it for confusing an over arm trudgeon with crawl which, along with backstroke, have been my main strokes since having rotator cuff surgery in my left shoulder ~ 2 years ago and now have 9 anchors tying the various tendons and whatnot in place along with a transplanted tendon.  The surgery went as well as one could hope, but being in the upper 60s requires a long recovery.  And i DON'T understand why my kicking, while improving, is nowhere near as fast as it was pre surgery (36-38 seconds 50 yrd kicking flutter which is now ~ 43-45 seconds.. That might just be getting old and the inability for full recovery..from even just 3 yrs back.BUT the screen on the Swim 2 is MUCH easier to read while swimming/kicking than the V3.  whine, whine, whine,

Gesture backlighting just never works on the Swim2 unlike the V3.

Have the same problem with the gestures and backlight

The interval pace WHILE swimming (not when resting) is in 5 seconds intervals. Also, I found that is not always rounded up or down of the real pace. So the exact problem is that the pace might display as 2:05 min/100m and upon pressing the lap key, the pace is a different number. At the same case was 1:51. Also, one might say that this happened because the last length was not accounted for before pressing the lap key, but I swam 1km at that instance and it wasn't possible for a last length to change the interval pace so much. Noted that the entire 1km was one interval.

Does anyone else has this problem or is it just me?

New bug found:

Open water swim can be saved only in case an extra LAP is recorded.
If you start an open water swim, and do not use the LAP button, only a start, and at the end a stop, the activity can not be saved or discarded. Every try of saving/discarding results in an immediate restart, the watch resumes back to the activity. The only way to end this loop is to press the LAP button (new lap started), and after that the activity can be saved/discarded. I did not test it with auto lap feature. 

I reported it to beta support
