Can the c410 be worn while swimming and doing aqua aerobics? This is a large part of my exercise routine and I cannot submerge my current Fitbit.

I wear mine in the shower every day and for the past month I have been swimming with it without any problems.

Lifetrak states it is water resistant to 30 meters. I have not worn mine in the water so no first hand experience.

This product, like the aquajogger, is designed to keep you afloat during aquatic fitness workout routines. While I am not familiar with the aquajogger, based on it's design I believe it will help to keep you afloat better.

No. It is not good for swimming. Even running it seems that the sweet enters the watch.

I have no experience with FitBit in a spin class, hope someone else can answer this for you.

Yes, I have this issue too and I swim with it as well. I usually take out the tracker and dry it out a couple times a day. I'm assuming that the tracker is waterproof though! I've had mine for 3 months and it's still going strong.

Hi, unfortunately this is not compatible with the Fitbit system; however, please note there is a manual upload for any entries you would like to add one at a time.

I do water aerobics 3 hours/week with my Loop and I have no problems. It is one of the few all-day activity trackers that you can swim with. However, the Loop will not accurately track swimming activity such as laps, strokes, etc. It estimates all activity as "steps" and my experience in the pool is that the Loop underestimates your steps and calories to some degree. The only way to accurately measure your calories is to use a heart rate monitor. However, Bluetooth Smart does not transmit in water so you can't use the Loop and H7 even though they are both waterproof for swimming.

No...you can't wear it while swimming. This particular model is not waterproof.

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.

You can wear both the watch and belt underwater, but the belt will not transmit your heart rate to the watch as long as it's submerged.

Per the user manual on water resistance: "WATCH * Your 30 meter water resistant watch withstands water pressure to 60psi * The Watch is only water resistant as long as the lens, pushbuttons, and case remain intact * Timex recommends rinsing your watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water WARNING: to maintain water resistance, do not press any buttons under water. SENSOR * Your 30 meter water resistant Personal Heart Rate Sensor withstands water pressure to 60psi. WARNING: This unit will not display your heart rate when operated under water." If you're going to do a LOT of pool aerobics I'd say there are probably better options out there simply because this watch is designed to be water resistant, not water PROOF and you'd hate to spring the cash just to accidentally press a button in the pool and scramble the whole works. I've not had a problem getting mine wet with sweat/rain but chlorine is substantially more damaging and I'd worry about the equipment.

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

Hi Penny. Till now, the swimming pool usage has had no problems at all. I'm not a pro swimmer, (only 2.500 mt) 3 times a month, but I do lots of running and a sweat allot. I did check the CNET Fitbit Flex review and the Engadget "hands-on at Fitbit Flex" review before adding the Flex as a personal monitor. Give it a view if you can.

TYes, swimmers can use the watch in the pool and sea but there are some care steps you need to complete specially when use it in the sea...

Garmin sells a different watch for swimming (an extra 150$). I tried it for swimming, and it doesn't work at all. And since Garmin is not reliable (read the reviews, most of them stop working after a year or 2 just like mine did), I would go for something else. I just bough a Suunto Ambit2 S, and for 400$, you can run, cycle, swim, and much much more than a Garmin crap. Easier to use, more confortable, better software.

I jog with mine around my neck. I've been caught in the rain and everything inside has been fine. I thought it states it is airtight, so I am assuming so. I have not submersed mine under water to really test that. I love mine. I got the smaller one. I get compliments on it all the time. I wear it on a stainless steel necklace.

vector is 30 meter water resistant.so this means that you can shower with it ,swim with it and other such activities.but you cant dive with it nor push buttons under water.....just be sure to place silicone ring in its place when changing the battery ,your watch will remain water resistant
