Fitbit Flex 2 is advertised as a waterproof tracker with swimming tracking so we’ve decided to look<\/div>\n
into the swimming part of this product and see how does it fare with Swimmo swim watch.<\/div>\n

Fitbit Flex 2 for swimmers<\/h2>\n
Fitbit is a simple tracker that helps you watch your progress in multiple sports activities throughout<\/div>\n
the day. One of those activities is swimming and there’s a simple metrics section in the Fitbit app<\/div>\n
responsible for displaying info on your past swims.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The only problem for people who swim regularly will be a number of the metrics available. The only<\/div>\n
thing you can see and is measured is the duration and calories burned during the swim. That might<\/div>\n
be enough for very casual swimmers but when you start to take your training a little more seriously<\/div>\n
you will need a lot more info to analyze the past workouts.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Another advantage is, of course, the fact that Fitbit Flex 2 is waterproof so you don’t have to worry<\/div>\n
about it, in the shower or during the very rainy day it will withstand these conditions without a problem.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Swimmo swim watch<\/h2>\n
Swimmo swim watch<\/a>, on the other hand, is a full swimming oriented training watch. Thanks to over<\/div>\n
35 swimming features like laps, duration, pace, heart rate in the water, real-time<\/div>\n
feedback via vibrations and advanced custom goals and analytics Swimmo is simply one solution to all your<\/div>\n
swimming related questions.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Swimmo <\/a>also lets you keep your swim intensity and pace on the level you set and let Swimmo tell<\/div>\n
you when to speed up or slow down to stay in the right corridor. All that thanks to distinctive<\/div>\n
vibrations guiding you while you’re in the pool.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Fitbit Flex 2 is a great choice for casual swimmers who don’t jump into the pool that much. If you<\/div>\n
need anything substantial Swimmo<\/a> will for sure be a better choice.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fitbit Flex 2 is advertised as a waterproof tracker with swimming tracking so we’ve decided to look into the swimming part of this product and see how does it fare with Swimmo swim watch.
