    4.0 out of 5 stars Good but needs some improvement, February 11, 2011
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: FINIS Swimsense Performance Monitor (Sports)
    I must have been one of the first buyers of this item and it shows. The idea is great, the design is good but needs some improvement. On one side there are minor glitches that will keep improving via the upgradable firmware. Glitches such as getting pacing data in feet/second despite having chosen meters/second in the setup, not being able to choose the correct age or weight but in multiples of 5, not being able to export or correct training data from the web app, etc.

    Then there are the major issues. Battery will last for two one hour swimming sessions at the max. What is surprising is the rete of battery consumption in watch mode, which should be equivalent to a regular watch, so the best option is to turn it off when not in use. The other major glitch is not having heart rate measurment.

    I don't want to look negative, this is a good piece of equipment and would buy it again, but it shows that swimming computers are a new breed of training computers and there... Read more

    1.0 out of 5 stars Way too inaccurate, May 5, 2011
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: FINIS Swimsense Performance Monitor (Sports)
    This devise does not work correctly way too often. I did not believe some of the reviews but they were correct it misses a lot of laps (or sometimes splits the lap into two) thus making the usage close to impossible. I tried to use it for my training sessions (like 4*50 with 15 sec rest) and it added 25 yards to 2 out of 4 repetitions. The idea is interesting, interface is good and web site is nice but the fact that it is so inaccurate breaks everything for me. I sent mine back to Amazon for a refund.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great Pool Interval Watch, March 24, 2011

    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: FINIS Swimsense Performance Monitor (Sports)
    The watch isn't perfect. It doesn't always pick up my stroke correctly. But it is very easy to use, smaller than I expected it would be, and great for recording intervals/rest time. The software (online) bundle is good for analyzing your swim, but it doesn't yet allow user edits (BIG minus) nor does it download to Sporttracks (small minus for now . . . they're planning to develop this capability). Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase. I'm hopeful that updates will resolve my issues.
