Hi guys.
Ok so my swim with watch virginity is finally broken.
Throughout my S3 days I never really took it for a swim. Not that I never swam , but whenever I went too pool by habit I always took off or even left behind.
Anyways , upgraded about 5 weeks ago too S4 & currently honeymooning in Mexico. What better time to finally take it for a swim. Had to just familiarise myself again , however it appears that when you select pool or open swim , the phone automatically water locks for you. Nice touch. Have also just manually locked it too.
Now I know there’s various settings with the swim app , how many yards & lengths etc & size of the pool , but this is a honeymoon & here for fun & relaxation rather than applying for the Olympics & knowing how great a job I did.
Well I have to say it worked a treat & im very impressed. Yup it locks the screen although you can also touch it to come on. What I do find odd though , & correct me if there’s an easier way , but because the screen is locked there’s no way to end the swim workout without turning the crown & unlocking the screen first. Is this right ?
Once I’d done this I was able to swipe the screen & end the workout. I just can’t seem to find where I can get out of pool & immediately end the workout.
Turning the crown & expelling the water is also cool (unlike the temp in Mexico). To be on the safe side I also manually locked & unlocked again to make sure all water was out. I have to say seeing tiny droplets of water spurt out was rather refreshing.
So my watch’s water virginity is broken. I was nervous to do it initially. Come on guys this is a mini computer on my wrist that I love & cost me good money ! Sense prevailed though & I wanted , maybe even needed to finally do this.
I’m very happy I finally took the plunge !
Cheers
