Do not shower with any touchscreen device when using any kind of cleaning agent. From my experience soap cleanses the anti-fat-coating (i don't know the real name, so ill just call it that) off touchscreens. The coating makes your screen easier to clean, without those "streaks" of fat and grease. Drop a single drop of water onto a new phone, and one that has been in use for a couple years (the coating gets slowly fades from normal usage as well) You'll see a kind of lotus-effect on the new one, where the old one the drop just acts like on any other glass. If you use soap, you remove it in an instant - i did that once, i don't recommend it. That being said I have no clue how much "just water" in the pool would destroy such coatings, though I am fairly sure it will be much less destructive than soap-water. That's why: Don't shower with it. Because soap will damage the coating. Do swim with it. Because it's water resistant. Hope that helps ? :)
@signant2 жыл бұрын
@@Murv it's called an oleophobic coating and no soap won't damage it more than normal wear or tear in fact soap works by breaking down fats, so it'll clean any oil off the screen and prevent build-up... But it won't affect it any more than the chlorine in the pool, in fact it'll probably be better to make sure the chlorine and salts are properly cleaned off but still the only damage soap will do it make your screen get fingerprints but that will happen eventually anyway

I've done quite a bit of swimming with the galaxy watch 4. Its a great app, but I've noticed it loses yardage if you do 100 IMs. When you're switching strokes it get's confused. It may have to do with flip turns and how much under water time you have on the lap. Just a note to any high end swimmers out there considering this. It also doesn't work well with kick boards or some 1 armed stroking sets you may do. It seemed to be happier if when you do IMs you do 200s verses 100s. 2 laps of a stroke works better than single laps.

I use this all the time to swim and never have had a problem. Of course, I always have it in Swim Mode, so it has the Water Lock mode. I swim in bright sunlight, so I usually find it impossible to see the screen while I am swimming. This video is helpful because I will set up less data on the screen, so that the type is larger and I can actually see it. While I am swimming, all I want to know is how many laps I have done so far, and how much time I have been swimming.

- When swimming we often do drills (only legs, only one arm, ...) and of course the watch won't be able to know since it can only pick the arm movement. What most swim watches do (like Garmin Swim 2) is they allow the user to manually enter the drill log by marking the start time and end time and then entering the distance covered. Can this watch do this too? - Can you review Xiaomi Color 2 Watch?

At at lower or moderate heart rates it works pretty well but at higher heart rates, it reads much higher than it actually is.

Awesome to hear swimming is how you keep active despite an ankle injury. I think the watch can miss some laps, especially if your turn arounds arent super obvious to recognize on each lap. Just make sure your lap pool is set to 25 meters and keep it tight on your wrist. If your swim is a leg only swim, expect it to not track it well, since the watch is not moving like a freestyle stroke for example.

Hi I actually decided to buy a Galaxy 4 after your review, but to my surprise it doesn't record intervals as i.e. Apple watch does. I checked into json files and rest time is always set to zero. Laps count is quite accurate but interval training is not recorded as it should. If this field is available in json files and not presented in Samsung health I suspect it was left behind on purpose and the algorithm seems to export only zero value. I hope it's just a temporary oversight or future fix, because rest time info is needed as well as interval grouping regardless how the sets are conceived (10X75, 10x125, 25+175 at different speeds etc..)

Does it have rest time?
@ramahsakul68502 жыл бұрын
It seems a bit hit and miss in detecting when you are resting. Has anyone else had that experience?

Its a big no to swim with it. I screwed my watch by swimming in the pool just once. Its dead. I checked later and found that samsung says in their website that it is not recommended to use in sea or pool. Then why do they have a swim feature in the watch?

So 20m is the shortest distance you can select. Stinks, my pool at home is only 36 feet..about 12m
@Develoquent2 жыл бұрын
Maybe you can do 24 (double the length)
@disinvited2 жыл бұрын
@@Develoquent I guess and then just either divide my distances by 2 or multiply time per lap and SWOLF by 2. It still will record as you turn as a 24m length. just would be nice to have the actuals recorded

I find that when I'm in the water I cannot use sliding the finger to activate functions. After flailing back and forth on the watch face I find myself in a place other than where I want to be. Then the whole workout is cancelled. Also is there a way to erase the failed attempts to record a workout?

Ive used my galaxy watch 4 at least 10 times for 30 minute swim workouts and i havent had any issues yet! Just make sure to use the water lock after to shoot the water out of the side.

hi guys , I used this watch for a couple of months to swim in the pool but I noticed that in swimming the calorie count was really too high .. it was not realistic .. have they solved the problem with software updates?
@davidjrazeghi3248 Жыл бұрын
No. I just got one and I've been swimming for about a month. I was so happy to see 300+ calories burned in 40min of swimming. Then I had to think about it and realized thats impossible. LOL

Interisting that you can go swimming with this having only 5 ATM water resistance, usually for normal watches you would take a diver at 20 ATM
@isac47692 жыл бұрын
nah man, i got couple of different watches, some graded for 5 atm and some for 30 atm. i swim quite often in the pool with my watch on, they are all fine. as long as you arent doing any kind of diving activities, most watches should be fine

I know the manual says up to 30 minutes and i saw your workout also was just about 30 minutes but would say its safe to swim constantly for 1 hour without having to worried about the watch getting water damage ? (indoor pool 25m length)

Problem: With my old Galaxy Fit 2 Pro I was able to activate my swim workout screen, then put it on pause while I entered the shower, and then start the swim workout when I got into the pool. I can't do this without turning off the water lock, and then on again during my workout. Unless you have a solution Samsung has to do a software update to Pause my workout, for my shower, or they will have warranty claims
@Develoquent2 жыл бұрын
water lock does not 'lock' water out.. you can swim with water lock off.. the only thing water lock does is activate speakers in the watch which blow water out for a few seconds.. go swim, then when you are done, turn water lock on and back off to activate the water eject speakers.
@paulm69632 жыл бұрын
@@Develoquent I am then touching my screen, which should be locked out also. The point is that I should be able to push One of the buttons on the side of the watch to pause my workout, temporarily if I like. Hold the same button longer and it finishes my workout. I just want to shower before and afterwards with a water lock on.

I've got the galaxy 5 watch and all of a sudden it's stopped counting my laps and calories. I'll swim for 1 hour straight and it will say 0 laps and 62ckal. Samsung can't explain why their tech people you have to deL with on their website are useless and just past generic responses
