Swimovate PoolMatePlus Unisex Digital Watch with Black Dial Digital Display and Black PU Strap 0702949876080, White

Worked fine for 17 swim sessions, then misted up. I had Been in discussion with Swimovate the watch manufacturer based on my finding that the watch functions are limited. As the watch display then failed completely Swimovate then had me return the watch to them. Their report was that someone had opened the watch, mangled two screw heads, and not installed the water seal correctly. Poolmate plus initially worked well, but watch function is very limited. In auto it counts lengths and averages strokes. Length counting also works best in front crawl or backstroke, otherwise is not accurate. In auto, strokes and times are averaged and watch doesn't extract inactivity. When using pause and unpause after each length, seperates each length into a separate set, but this requires double button push. Then gives strokes for each length and times. Swimovate have been great offering to repair free of charge which is amazing plus an even better solution based on previous discussions.

This watch is fab. It is very accurate and gives all the information about your swim that you could possibly need. The after sales service is excellent and if you need any help or advice they are very willing to oblige and very quickly too.

Very accurate in my opinion, the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it it adds the time you pause onto the total time, for ages I thought that was my time until I checked the app, it broke down the times, pause and swim times

I have to say I am not particularly impressed. Annoyed with myself for not choosing the Garmin which for the same price would recognise stroke type. The menu is infuriating and really easy to delete your records. Am sure a thorough reading and re Reading of the manual would solve this but it's not intuitive and I understand that the Garmin is better in that regard.i have also tried once to install the software (admittedly tired post swim) and it failed to install. So I will have to mess about with that too. My phone is 2 years old and cannot support the app. Annoying again. Soin summary really wished I had just bought the Garmin.

The strap came apart whilst swimming in pool if I had been wild swimming it would of been lost,the company who sold it me have said watch strap is not a manufacturing fault and have also told me that I have broke it which is an insult and hard nosed,from the picture enclosed anyone can see the watch has had very little loose.In my opinion the strap is very poor quality and has come apart on the recessed curved joint perfectly.which hints at a design weakness.

Awesome for swimming and lap/times . Easy to down load to laptop too . Not too big on my female wrist either !!

This was my second poolmate. They're a good watch for keeping track of laps, efficiency, speed per 100, strokes per length etc and they are relatively cheap. PROS + Cheap (relatively) + Effective and convenient way to track lengths / sets etc in the pool CONS - Do not seem to last very long: swimming 3-4 times per week poolmate 1 lasted about a year, had a battery change then stopped working 6 months later - poolmate 2 did exactly the same so it's lasted just less than 18 months including a battery change and the display is now shot and the buttons have stopped working, as far as I know I did not drop or damage either watch, I think it's just wearout - To change the battery, it has to be sent off to the manufacturer (they do sell more expensive ones where you can get the battery changed anywhere that would normally do a replace and pressure test) - Does not do much extra from an apple watch - I have swapped over (as my 2nd poolmate is now bust) and I'm not buying another one. I will just use my apple watch in future, but nb, I am very much just an average masters pool swimmer and I am only interested in how many laps I have done (so I don't cheat!!) and at what speed/100 with basic splits across my average sessions which are all crawl and generally between 1500-2000m. The poolmate would probably be worth it if you also want to track strokes/length, stroke rate, and it also automatically calculates an efficiency score. All in all I would say if you already have a waterproof apple / smart watch, chances are it already has all you need in a swim watch. But there are some finer details in data available from poolmate - but the product does not seem to be very long lasting.

Was working really well but picked it up this morning and the screen is flashing random shapes. Also can't return it as it's past the return time - really annoying

Compré el reloj en noviembre 23 y lo he usado durante 4 meses, 2-3 veces por semana. La correa se ha partido y no se puede arreglar porque es todo de una pieza. He buscado la garantía en la caja pero no hay. ¿Alguna idea? ¿Alguien me puede ayudar? El reloj en sí funciona bien. Muchas gracias

Hard to rate as my husband excitedly headed to the pool this am to test it out, and by the end of his laps, watch indicated 'low battery'. He says paperwork says to return watch for battery replacement but really? Battery supposed to be good for 2 years- what a disappointment!

prodotto arrivato puntuale. usato max 4 volte in acqua di piscina e poi ha smesso di funzionare. Prodotto pessimo non vale il costo di 88 euro. Grazie al servizio eccellente di Amazon ho ottenuto il rimborso.

1^ valutazione: Io uso questo Swimovate (mod. Plus) in piscina e l'orologio funziona a dovere, registrando tutto in maniera corretta. Quindi fin qui si può dare 5 stelle piene. (Per quanto segue v. aggiornamenti positivi a fine recensione) I problemi iniziano (non sempre e senza un perché) quando si deve scaricare i dati nella propria pagina " mypoolmate". Infatti l'operazione di upload può essere veramente sfiancante poiché dopo aver effettuato il matching tra orologio e base collegata al PC, il trasferimento dei dati - diciamo una volta su due - non va a buon fine (e passi dei bei quarti d'ora tentando e ritentando); se invece l'upload va al primo colpo, tutta l'operazione dura qualche secondo. Ho avuto dal "supporto" indicazioni (via email) molto chiare su come effettuare l'operazione (semplice di per sé, ma piccoli accorgimenti non riportati nelle istruzioni, sono estremamente utili); in conclusione, nonostante tutte le precauzioni e le istruzioni, quando finalmente appare la barra, può succedere (una volta su due) che l'upload si fermi all'1% e compare il messaggio "incomplete upload. please try again". Qui la mia valutazione è 1 singola bella stella! Facendo la media.... Tutto il sistema Poolmate per tenere traccia del proprio allenamento è assolutamente fantastico (quando funziona) e quindi, ovviamente, continuerò ad usare l'orologio in piscina e a sparare improperi ogni volta che dovrò scaricare i dati. 2^ valutazione (AGGIORNAMENTO) La Swimovate, a seguito delle mie lamentele, ha effettuato (da remoto, sul mio PC) una verifica della funzionalità di "upload"; hanno riscontrato un difetto nel software di trasferimento dati dell'orologio e suggerito di restituirlo. Ho provveduto all'operazione di reso Amazon e acquisterò nuovamente lo stesso modello, riservandomi di darvi una nuova opinione. Dopo 30 gg di uso dell'orologio ricevuto in sostituzione: Nessun problema e i dati vengono scaricati correttamente in un baleno. Tutto veramente ok.
