Hello, my new VM only records about 1 out of every 4 laps. Anyone else have this issue? I’ve only had the watch about 3 days and other than the pool I really like it, but the pool issue is a non starter. I think Polar’s return policy is about a month... so we got a couple of weeks to figure it out. Then I’ll return it as defective and get the 935. I put in an email to customer service we’ll see how that works.
My Polar devices have been great. I used a 625X back in 2010 for training and IM, an RXC5 for both 2013 and 2016 IM races. Finally updated to the Vantage M and so far I have been impressed! I used it in the pool today for my first time after seeing this post. The thing works great. Hit the pool wall after my first 100 and it showed 99.8. I thought, close enough. Then, I recalled a friend saying the pool is short at the gym. LOL I am going to bring my measuring wheel from work and check the pool next time I am there in a couple days.
After hitting the wall and poking my head out of the water to check out the watch, the damn thing started the stop clock on my "rest time". How the hell does it know to do that????
Hit my 500 sets and used the rest timer between sets. Unbelievable. Will change my swim training for now on. Worth the price just for this!
For the record, I had it snug to my wrist, it would not move around if I tried to move it with my other hand. I did open turns. When I hit the wall, I grabbed the wall with my right hand (watch was on my left wrist), and I quickly turn into the wall, push off and glide under water tip I pop up. I dunno, worked perfect for me.
