Apple Shares New 'Go Swim' Ad for Apple Watch

Brothers don't swim.

We should share a 'Go Take a Hike' ad with Apple

I've trained for standard distance, 5k open water, 70.3 and Ironman with 3 or 4 different Garmins, watches by Polar, and a Finis Swimsense...pretty much every major swim tracking option available. Apple Watch does everything all of those do, although whether the open water tracking is up to much (and whether it would survive a mass start with 1400 other people) is open to question. Unless you actually know what you're talking about, probably best to clam up.

the apple watch is a swim watch like a toyota prius is a sports car.

Maybe not the best time to post a summer ad talking about swimming during the Winter season. Just a thought, even for those in AZ where it's warmer, I can't use my pool right now without a heater. haha

?

The apple watch doesn't provide a real swimmer the same metrics as does a garmin or suunto watch.

it's a toy for now.

the apple watch isn't a swim watch.

I disagree. I use the Swim.com app and it does everything that my Garmin 910xt does and even provides metrics such as SWOLF. It even auto pauses during intervals while i'm resting on the wall which the Garmin does not do. True it wouldn't work well for a triathlon because for one its not easy to switch between sports, but for training, absolutely.

It's a neat idea, but the editing is a little choppy. Almost felt like Samsung Gear ad.
