I'm still working on the best way to keep it in place,
it goes next to, not in your ear, so yes, you can still hear everything around
you,
and as far as I can tell, the app seems to be very accessible, but haven't
really properly put it through it's paces yet. the only thing that could have
been a bit better, is that it could have given better audio instructions when
calibrating, but that has been the only issue I have found so far. the actual
unit itself is accessible, as it is designed to provide purely audio feedback,
this is what tempted me to get it in the first place.

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:
http://www.platysens.com/marlin/
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.

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
Linda
