Swimming and swimming app (speedo on)

[Ronsku]

Hey

I was almost heading to buy samsung gear fit 2 pro but then a couple of questions come to my mind.

1) So does anyone know if the watch can track your HR when the wrist is wet? (during swimming training)

2) How about the speedo on application, is there big limitations in the free version compared to premium one? What graphs am I able to see in the free version? I'd like to see strokes, different styles counted, some kind of graph about speed. I don't care so much about the "training plans, recommend content and premium challenges" as they are listed in the speed on's premium page.

3) How about the battery life? If I use continuous HR monitoring (no gps), how long will it last approximately?

(4) Would you go to the sauna with it? )

Hello, I'll try to answer a few of your questions

1. Yes you xan track your hr when swimming and training. It seems relatively accurate across exercise types that I've done with it - running, swimming, cycling, rowing machine.

2. I haven't used the speedo app yet, I've only ised the generic swim workout which regards your time, interval, and heartrate.

3. My watch is usually down to 60% after 20 hrs. Settings - brightness = 7, gps off (except when working out), hr frequent (always on when working out), display always on = off, and i listen to music via the watch when working out. I usually charge it after dinner while I'm watching tv (takes less than an hour) and then put it back on before i go to bed.

4. I've taken my phone in a sauna before so i don't see much of a difference with taking in the GF2P. That being said, since it's still so new to me, I'd be a little paranoid taking it into the sauna. It's like when you buy a new car and don't want it to get scratched so you park way out in the boonies, but after 6 months your parking near the front with all the other cars.

Hey,

I'm from Brazil and just got the gear fit 2 pro. I just can't login in the speedo on app, i dont know if it's because my region, but even in the web, when I tried to access speedo on web site, it keeps redirecting me to speedousa.com (store).

Because of that I'm using the tradicional samsung workout app. The accuracy of the watch is great but there are some things that bother me. First, the 3 countdown the watch do everytime you start a workout and has no configuration to disable it.
Second, is water block mode. In swims workouts the watch goes in water block mode, in other words, the touch becomes inoperate. To finish and start a new workout you need to hold the power button for like 3 seconds to get the touch back and then finish the actual workout e press to start the new one. Should be a way to stop e start a new workout without getting out of water block mode everytime.

Regarding from those problems, its a great watch and had no problems to get into the sauna with it.

Hi Maisa! I am also from Brazil and I've been using a GF2Pro for a month. I don't have the speedo on app on my watch and also I couldn't find it at galaxy apps store to install. I believe thi i related to region restriction. We can access the speedo on website by using a VPN and setting region to USA. So I believe if I use a samsung account set to USA plus a VPN on my phone I would be able to download the app to my gear fit 2 pro. Do you happen to have the speedo app on your watch? pre-installed or how have you installed? Thanks!
