Swimming watch?

[The Rover]

Hi, I’ve started swimming a couple of times a week as I find it helps with a nervous system condition I’ve been diagnosed with recently.

I’ve got a Garmin Forerunner 230 watch which I use for running and cycling but it’s not suitable for swimming.
So, I’m after recommendations for a cheap ish, under £70 watch that will also link with Strava.

Cheers Stuart.

I use Apple Watch 2.

Does that count distance?

Does that count distance?

Yes. As well as strokes, stroke type, heart rate, and it works in open water too. I use the swim.com app.

Under £70 is going to be a challenge, decent swim features tend to be the preserve of higher end watches.

I would be tempted not to bother if money is an issue.

A lap counter is all you need, really. It’s nice to sync and get stats but, you know.

Edit:

Ha! Unbelievably it’s exactly £70 too!

I've used that watch pretty good to be fair

Thanks, budget is open, I just thought £70 would be ok.
The Poolmate looks good, and the one up from it might do the job.

Appreciate the replies.

Cheers

Second hand Garmin 910xt are cheap enough and ideal for swim/bike/run.
