Does it have all the features of a watch such as an alarm and date? I swim a lot, is it waterproof?

No alarm/date. It says it is water RESISTANT to 50 meters, but you cannot use the buttons in the water or watch will be damaged. Watch wouldn't work for a swimmer, imo. It tracks people walking in an upright position by the swinging of their arms. I think the water resistant feature is for a quick dip or if you sweat alot only. Hope this helps. ;)

Yes, this model is water resistant and I do use it for swimming, from time to time. You will find a good review and plenty of interesting comments about this watch here: http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/11/garmin-forerunner-depth-review.html

Its water resistant is pretty lousy. I just use it a couple of times in a swimming pool and the glass went all foogy at the beginning and later on stopped working correctly. It is a shame because I liked the watch. Garmin should improve this.

I'm not sure. It's not a dedicated swim watch and I've never taken mine swimming, but I have soaked it a number of times and it has never been an issue.

Well, just about nothing is considered "waterproof" anymore! Even watches in most cases are considered "water resistant" these days! That being said, I have already gotten mine wet and no problems.

I do not know if it is waterproof (I have not worn it in the pool or shower), but I have worn it in the rain on many, many runs, and have sweated all over it (sorry, not trying to be gross, just a fact of running) and I have never noticed any problems with it. I really recommend this unit as an inexpensive alternative to the other GPS watches out there.

It is water resistant, but I wouldn't recommend for a lot of swimming. Especially after a battery change

It's not water resistant. I wouldn't buy it if I had known the short battery life and complicated to load limited apps. I wouldn't waste your money on this product. Wait for the iwatch from apple or the samsung.

It is water resistant, but I don't think I would keep it submerged for long periods of time. It's like a water proof watch. It's only water proof so far under water.

Yes it does, at one touch of a button it displays the time and date. It is one of the things I love about it, most people just think it is a watch.

I don't know the answer to that question, as I've never attempted to see if it's waterproof, logically to me there is an input jack to power the watch on the back of it which would lead me to believe it's not waterproof. But if you have any questions, call Samsung's toll-free customer service number to find out, they are really easy to work with and well-informed.

The belt monitor is water resistant from the factory according to the manual; however once the battery has been changed new seals have to be installed for the monitor to maintain its water resistant qualities. The manual is sort of iffy in terms of it being water proof. In terms of swimming and having the monitor transmit heart rate information, it won't transmit under water and the instructions plainly states that. I think a monitor has to be analogue to transmit cardio info, this is digital. You can download the manual by googling Timex Men's T5K736 Zone Trainer Digital

The watch is waterproof, wearing in the shower would be fine, however I would not recommend it. The watch is metal and solidly built, the band is also metal, but the piece connecting the band to the watch is cheap plastic and was broken within a couple of weeks. Unless they have improved that I would steer clear of it.

I am not sure. You might want to check with the company that makes it. I have been very pleased with mine. So far this summer I have had only one false alarm and that was during a thunderstorm of biblical proportions. I really like the feature that when the alarm is in the pool it is always on. To swim, just remove the alarm from the pool and silence it with the red fob. This is the 3rd different alarm I have had in three years and this one is definitely the best as far as I am concerned.

Yes, it is water resistant (i.e., good for swimming), but it is not a dive watch.

Dear Jamell: If you are just interested in walking you might want to buy the one less professional GPS watch. This one does run/bicycle/swim settings. You can, however, definitely use it for walking. It shows your pace, your distance, the duration, your heart rate, your average speed. I really like it!
