Yeah, that makes sense. I mean, I see the appeal for sure. Do you use the HRM swim? Or have you found a reliable, more elegant solution? The HRM swim kind of drove me nuts as I just could never get the tightness right (it would either slip when got long and skinny for my flip turn streamline or just be too tight when I fully inhaled) and I just felt it looked ridiculous.

I don’t use anything right now as I don’t want to drop a bunch of cash on something that doesn’t work.
I still lapped everyone on the couch!

The optical sensors don’t work reliably in pool.You are probably thinking of wrist optical. The Rhythm24 works great in water. (Just not at all in a pool yet, only OWS.)
Have you gotten it to work in the pool yet and do you know what the problem was? What device were you syncing it to?

As an update- I have had a few swims with the oh1 now, and it works really well. It just sits there and afterwards gives a good measure of the effort I put in to my swimming. I had found that just using my watch didn’t show as much effort, even though I was trying hard, as I am not very fast! I struggled with leaky goggles to begin with, as with the oh1 too near the front it pushed the goggles off my eye. Once I got a good position further back it has been fine.
I am now choosing it in preference to a chest strap for running too, as it gets the correct hr straight away, with no need to build up a sweat.
What device are you syncing this to? Does it have the same post-workout data upload that the HRM Swim has? That is, does it store your HR data and merge with your garmin swim data? Thanks.

I use the OH-1 in offline caching mode. When I have finished it syncs to Polar Flow. I use SportTracks so it shows with my other activities from my Suunto. It just gives HR data.
