HR open water swimming
-
Did anyone try open water swimming with the Race S?
Wrist HR is appalling, constantly above 170bpm ….
GPS track is not great either.
This is a quite mediocre watch -
You’re not alone.
When swimming with my Sunnto Race S, my avg hr is 170, and max hr is 200.
While I wear a watch from another brand, with the same distance, speed, and water conditions, my avg hr is only 130 and max hr is 152.
I don’t understand why ?! -
@Thai-Binh-Do different HR sensor, different fit of the watch on your arm, different post-processing. That is why.

@Sieunhan_Binh just changing the fit to your arm, e.g. different position on your arm and/or tighter, perhaps a different strap. This can help.

@Gunnar I tried that, but it didn’t work for swimming.
