piece actually works just fine for the Swim 2

great and advanced performance metrics
Premium materials and durable design
great feature is the ability to monitor your blood oxygen level

Garmin tracked a little under the Polar band
watches have always felt a little landlocked
lagging behind a tad at times
it's only available for pool swimming
not open water
the overall distance tracking to be a tad off when in the pool
comparatively limited bike and run metrics
lack of GPS or open-water swim mode
Garmin has added to it is just software tweaks
the watch might calculate the turns tricky
Garmin does not have a feature to set this arbitrary value
getting double distance
and also inaccurate track
only for swimming) is not optimal
Garmin does not show lap times in pool swim
not to have tenths of a second in the air
the distance is not recorded by the watch)
it does not do is download swimming workouts
an option that can be turned on or off
totally fogged (so clearly NOT waterproof)
a rechargeable battery with the Garmin Swim
the heart rate sensor is not as accurate as a chest strap
accuracy is definitely a bit lower
most watches do not track open water swimming really accurately
the watch will lose the GPS signal
Open water swim tracking can be a bit choppy from time to time
