Does the GPS also work when swimming outdoors (e.g. in a lake)?
And how reliably does the watch "count" lengths in the pool? Thanks for any report from someone who has already tested the watch.

Accepted Answer

I wear the watch in the indoor pool in direct comparison to the Swimmo. Counts lanes with about the same reliability, but over a distance of 2 km there is usually a deviation of 1-2 lanes from reality. This is the case with both watches. The Swimmo records the times per lane, the Polar unfortunately only the average values. On the other hand, the heart rate display on the Polar is much better.
