There is a swim watch by Mi-Sport out at the end of 2010 [inside info] with functionality which will be revolutionary for swimmers [and a lot more fun] here: http://www.mi-sportmp3.com
The swimsense doesn`t really tell you much you wouldn`t already know - no of lengths completed, time, stroke [I know which stroke I am using!]and calories will be pretty inaccurate without heart rate info.
The Mi-Sport will allow the user to do something they could not do before.
It might look like an ordinary sports watch at first, the Finis Swimsense definitely stands apart from most performance monitors out there.
Intended for both recreational and advanced swimmers, the Finis Swimsense includes a built-in motion detector that can capture a whole lot of information. That includes:
- Stroke types and count (with differentiation between backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and freestyle)
- Number of laps swum and time
- Calories burned
- Total distance
Basically all a swimmer has to do (when it comes to the Swimsense) is hit start and stop on the monitor, and then transfer the information to a computer via USB. Users can personalize the settings up front when it comes to age, weight, gender, and pool size.
The Swimsense performance monitor will be available this “holiday season” for $199.99.
