      I also did a test today with significantly better performance and minimal reflections using the open water mode.
      I was swimming side by side with a SUP that recorded exactly 1.1 km using a Garmin Fenix 7 while I recorded exactly 1.2 km with open water swimming, which is a perfectly acceptable discrepancy.
      At the same time, I did a hike to the top of the island and then returned to the shore with the SUP, completing the activities.
      The GPS in all cases was excellent compared to yesterday.
      However, I’m not sure if the GPS gets confused or causes reflections when there are many speedboats, boats,jetski etc., in the area here in Greece have a lot of—maybe that’s what throws off the watch.

      The part where the GPS looks tangled is because I was inside a cave.
