Customers really like the device, and it is considered one of the most popular - requests exceed 33,000 per month on Yandex.Market.And most importantly, for what it is valued - the best balance of price and quality. In the pool, the smart watch behaves with dignity, allowing you to receive accurate training data. But you need to connect a separate heart rate monitor. Customers like both compatibility with smartphones and a bright screen. But some errors and freezes cannot be avoided. All in all, HUAWEI Watch Fit is the best choice as an all-in-one first smartwatch for an initial analysis of pool training parameters.

As a wristwatch for swimming in the pool, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is primarily aimed at lovers of this ecosystem and non-professional athletes. The watch has earned the praise of many users, because it offers a wide range of functions to take into account the characteristics of swimming and the state of the body in this process, including: calorie counting, training efficiency, style, distance traveled. At the same time, they retain all the functionality of classic smartwatches and have excellent build quality. But they have one major drawback.With the declared autonomy in the sports mode at 40 hours, in reality they work on average 1-2 days. To measure heart rate in water, you will need a chest strap.

The Amazfit T-Rex Pro smartwatch from the legendary Xiaomi brand gets into our rating due to perfectly designed scratch protection thanks to Gorilla Glass, as well as improved moisture resistance. They are not afraid of aggressive environments such as chlorine and sea water. Customers like the model's bright screen, ease of operation, and the ability to switch to mechanical buttons in wet environments. And, of course, accurate sensors for recording and analyzing the effectiveness of training in the pool. The watch has everything you need for classes and round-the-clock monitoring of health parameters. But to measure heart rate, you need to connect a chest sensor. Among the advantages, high autonomy stands out even with a full set of active functions - up to 5-7 days. But strength comes at a price. Amazfit T-Rex Pro is very large and will definitely not fit a woman's hand.

The waterproof Magic Watch 2 is one of the most popular Android smartphones for users. Most of all, they will appeal to those users who want to get a universal device with the best program for exercising in the pool. Magic Watch 2 has everything you need for this: SWOLF, speed and distance measurement, calorie counting. As well as the unique TruSeen heart rate monitor, which allows you to track your heart rate in real time. Moreover, it is quite accurate and efficient, especially considering the price of the watch. But their main plus is the outstanding autonomy in normal mode - up to 14 days. If you train 3-4 times a week, then the time is reduced to 5-7 days. And the biggest problem is the sharp limitation of the functionality when working with iOS, but these are rather complaints about the "apple". In general, the device turned out to be effective, reliable and, importantly, inexpensive.

Smartwatches from the legendary brand Polar Ignite take the place in the ranking of the best due to the flawless heart rate monitor. No other model boasts top technology. And in this device it is - an optical Precision Prime sensor that accurately reads heart rate. However, they would not have “climbed” so high in the top for one sensor. According to customer reviews, the gadget has precise and flexible settings for pool swimming sports modes: style, SWOLF, pace, distance. And it all works flawlessly. But the younger Polar model was not without its drawbacks: the lack of mechanical buttons and almost complete touch control, with the exception of the screen lock button, are inconvenient in the midst of a workout. Sometimes there are also such shortcomings as incorrect work with notifications from a smartphone. Therefore, you should choose Polar Ignite, realizing that the wristwatch is focused on the analysis of training and performance of the athlete, and not on notification of events from a smartphone.

The super-durable Suunto 9 watch, which has become the golden mean between Baro and Peack, made it to our rating for the best balance of price and quality. The widest functionality for athletes has a unique feature - ultra-precise sensors for collecting and analyzing burned reserves, counting calories. Buyers really like this model as a smart watch for swimming: the heart rate monitor is accurate, the measurements are stable, there are options for calculating speed, distance and SWOLF. And all this with the versatility of Suunto 9. The watch can also receive notifications from your smartphone and last up to 30-40 hours in training mode. Only here you will have to pay for autonomy with the brightness of the screen, but the mechanics here are combined with touch controls. Of the significant disadvantages is not very clear software for analyzing indicators, many users cannot adequately configure it.

The water-resistant Apple Watch Series 7 is the best choice for iPhone pool swimmers. For professionals who want to squeeze the maximum of statistics and information out of the device, the gadget will not work. But even among professional athletes, there are sometimes Apple Watch users who note their convenience when measuring distance, speed, swimming style, and analyzing physical characteristics. The main advantage of smart watches from the "apple" brand is perfect synchronization with iOS, a clear and convenient interface. Therefore, they will be the best choice for those who want to train properly and usefully, but do not want to bother with a highly specialized smartwatch for swimming in the pool. But you should be prepared for a small error in the heart rate monitor and a quick discharge of the battery!

The Fenix ​​6 smartwatch is the benchmark against which other brands are measured. A reliable, multi-sport device gets into our top due to the colossal battery autonomy with settings for the situation. The moisture-resistant device has many unique technologies for tracking the effectiveness of classes: Body Battery for energy analysis and optimization, swimming profiles, the most complete analysis of body indicators. The watch connects to any smartphone without glitches, but only displays notifications. The heart rate monitor here is accurate, does not require a body belt. Models 6S and 6X have different dial sizes and strap lengths to fit women's and men's hands. Buyers love the professional level of settings, but not everyone is satisfied with the dimensions of smartwatches. Also, sometimes there are problems with choosing the right settings because of their incredible variety.

The water-resistant Polar Vantage V features a superior sensor with Precision Prime technology that works without the need for a chest accessory. Other models with a summer resident of a similar level are much more expensive. Most of the semi-professional sports users are satisfied with the watch in the pool: it reads heart rate well and accurately, and then allows you to analyze the data in the Polar Flow app. The software is one of the best, it allows you to effectively build workouts and monitor progress, as well as share indicators with a coach. But there were some drawbacks - good autonomy required a decrease in screen brightness. Users also do not like the difficulties with after-sales service. Otherwise, the Polar Vantage V performs great in the pool, is comfortable and offers a lot of pro-level settings.

The Forerunner 745 is ideal for swimming in the pool: there is a SWOLF parameter, speed, style, distance setting, calories and fat burned.As well as the impeccable Elevate heart rate monitor - several optical sensors. And the ultra-clear, bright display keeps you informed while you exercise. Mechanical buttons and the lack of a touch screen have found great demand among many professionals and semi-professionals. Swimmers appreciate smart watches for their reliability and stable operation, and also note that the manufacturer is modest, indicating 6-12 hours of autonomy. In fact, the device works for a very long time. There are all Garmin technologies for analyzing physical indicators, as well as the function of listening to music directly from the watch. But she did not find a significant response, since it was not implemented very conveniently.
