The Marlin looks very good. So to keep it in place do you have to have
your swimming hat covering your ear, can you hear anyone speaking to
you if you have this in your ear. Is it totally accesssible without
sight. It would have been a much more useful purchase than the apple watch.
Thanks Linda

personally, I would say leave it alone when doing the swim, as unless you can get it to tell you the time by vibration mode, when swimming the speaker doesn't work very well anyway.
I would also say that if you want a good swimming tracker, you may want to think about investing in a marlin, from:

as whilst I haven't had the time issue you mentioned, certainly in open water, the distance registered on the apple watch, compared to the distance I know I have done, is way off of the mark. so in future, I will probably leave the swim tracking to the marlin, and just use the apple watch for an alarm, to tell me when I need to come back to shore or what ever.

*Subject:* [access-uk] swimming with apple watch
Did my first swim with my apple watch 4 but after spending about
an hour in the pool it only shows 10 minutes swimming. I did
frequently press the buttons to try and find out what the time
was. Should I not press anything on the watch once I have started
a workout?
Thanks
