Garmin Swim 2?

Anyone have the Garmin Swim 2? I'm doing more and more swimming and am interested in this watch. But I also do yoga, hiking, occasional running, and strength training (but don't use any of the Garmin features that count reps, etc. I just start an activity to track time and HR).

I've read that you can run and cycle with the Swim. Can you add other activity types like yoga, walking, strength?10.0.0.0.1

    Swim2 does NOT have barometric altimeter, you get the elevation profile just from the GPS track (very unreliable)

    Steps are counted by every fitness gadget, but I think that the step count info will not be included in the fit file (not tested). And during the activity I think that you will not be able to see the step counter value, just before and after. Note, that every step in the gym will be added.

    I know this answer is late but based in the knowledge of the Swim 2, I thing that if someone wants to do swim and other sports (like yoga or hiking) there’s better options like the 745. If you only do swim is a great option. The 745 or 945 are as good as Swim 2 in swimming. Other options like the Vivoactive, Venu or 245 has less swimming options (not open swimming or specifics drills I guess)

    Sadly those options are too expensive for me. 245 or swim 2 are in my price point.
