The Apple Watch has a handful of new features but the major one is the updated processor. Native apps run faster and snappier within 1-3 seconds. GPS is built-in so now you can run or swim without your phone.
When you enter the swimming mode, the screen locks so that the water doesn’t trigger the touch screen as your hands enter and exit. For indoor swims, the internal sensors of the watch will calculate what your stroke type is based on extensive analysis of swimming styles in the lab. Much like gait detection works for running.
For outdoor swims, the Watch can also acquire GPS signals when it’s up out of the water on the up or down strokes. Under water it cannot get a signal and therefore relies on those temporary check-ins.
The new WP 50m waterproofing made it easy to test the swimming functions without having to worry. I set my pool length and duration and jumped right in. The measurements performed as advertised, offering up my preferred stroke, my heart rate and pace and a host of other measurements that seemed pretty accurate.
