Garmin 2 vs. Garmin Swim stroke detection

I used Garmin Swim for several years, and it accurately detects all four strokes (occasionally misreading my breaststroke as "other") but my new Garmin Swim 2 misreads free 50% of the time as backstroke and does not detect *** or fly at all. Is this fixable? Does it "learn?" Is it a bug or a defective watch?

I use my Garmin Swim 2 for freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke. Apart from the odd backstroke showing as "mixed", it generally gets the strokes right.

vocality must be something with your watch. I do freestyle, breaststroke and backstroke and it works great with stroke detection.

Can you please do a single trial next time: create a new pool activity and do two lanes (1 x fly, 1 x breastr with no stops) and stop/save the activity. See what results you're getting. I have tested on mine 3 times and I get breastr for both lanes

OK. But since the 2.30 update, stroke identification is much improved.
