Watch was never very precise and screen is almost dark
Watch was never very precise. But the worst thing is that after a year the screen is almost dark so you can't see it outdoors.

Old technology. Not worth it.

A completely abandoned device. I'm not sure if the company behind Swimmo still exists, fact is that it seems that they are still selling the watch in their website. But there are no updates in over 2 years and the repeatetly promised SWOLF and stroke detection capabilities were never delivered. It's a pity because them at the time of their launch on Kickstarter but got really disappointed.

Waardeloos product. Is niet af te lezen tijdens het zwemmen veel te zwak en klein beeld. Telt zelfs de banen niet goed. Bij wisseling van slagen (anders dan borstcrawl) gaat het helemaal fout dit herkend hij totaal niet. Grote spijt had ik maar een Garmin swim gekocht. Schandalig apparaat zeker voor die prijs.

Ich hatte die Uhr bereits vorbestellt, als noch die Kickstarter-Kampagne lief. Sie kostete damals 189€. Beim Schwimmen fiel mir als Erstes auf, dass man auf dem Display im Wasser bei Sonneneinstrahlung nichts erkennt. Die Bahnen hat sie falsch gezählt. Der Verschluss des Armbandes drückte ins Handgelenk. Die Bedienung war nervig. Der Support antwortete mir mit nichtssagenden Zeug auf meine Fragen. Da ich in Deutschland wohne, habe ich da keinen Garantiehandhabe. Dann lag sie Jahre im Schrank. Als ich sie, mehr aus Neugier, in diesem Jahr wieder in Betrieb nehmen wollte war der Akku (fast unbenutzt) kaputt. Ich wollte damals einfach ein kleines Startup unterstützen und nicht die, im Geld schwimmenden, großen Unternehmen. Das war ne dumme Entscheidung und wirklich schade ums Geld.

I used the watch only 3 or four times before it failed. After just a few swims I could see condensation or leakage inside the watch and soon thereafter it died completely. I had owned the watch a little over a year but only used it very recently, and only three or four times. Still, Swimmo declined to help me, hiding behind the 1 year warranty. They know full well that the watch has had very little use as they can track usage on the App. Obviously this is just my experience and I am very annoyed at having wasted all this money on a product that has broken almost immediately. But I for one will never trust Swimmo again.

I’ve had the watch for over a year. It works sometimes. My concerns are that the tapping face to start and stop the watch doesn’t always work. The battery doesn’t last that long. Also it’s hard to read in a lighted area like the pool. I like the lap read outs and other features when they work. I had an issue with the charger when I got the watch. They sent a new charger. Good idea for the watch; however, too many glitches. Maybe the next generation will be better. I switched to another swim watch and I find it much better.

Une montre très esthétique, qui est uniquement dédiée à la natation. Satisfait de cette montre. Bémol : le système de charge est très fragile, l'une des broches s'est cassée très rapidement. Un mail a été envoyé au service client qui a renvoyé un chargeur. Merci a eux. Pour résumé je dirais que la montre fonctionne bien, qu'elle est agréable a utiliser, qu'elle fait bien le travail demandé. Par contre je regrette la fragilité du système du chargeur, qu'il manque des informations sur le site internet concernant le SAV.
