Last few days we’ve heard a lot of amazing feedback from our Kickstarter<\/a> backers and swimmers interested in product. One question is coming back to us quite often so we’ve decided to write it down for everybody to read and share. This question is: „Great, but isn’t it exactly what Garmin Forerunner 910\/920 does? What is the difference?”<\/p>\n

Here’s a list of all the unique features of Swimmo never before built into one smartwatch:<\/p>\n

This smartwatch is really SMART!<\/h2>\n

Swimmo<\/a> users will have a whole toolbox full of possible trainings and goals thanks to unique smart features that will help guide you and send friendly remainders during the swim. That’s right – IntensityCoach<\/strong>, PaceKeeper<\/strong> and TrainingGuide<\/strong> will all provide real-time feedback to swimmers during the swim. If you loose intensity or picked up the pace to rapidly you want to know it when it happens not after the whole training! Swimmo<\/a> is giving you just that.<\/p>\n

Continous heart rate monitor in the water<\/h2>\n

Next thing that was our great ambition was to free the swimmer from those horrible chest straps! So we’ve build (after many months of trials and errors) brand new sensor that will allow to read the pulse from swimmer’s wrist<\/strong>. This is not only comfortable but also alows Swimmo<\/a> to analyze the heart rate with conjunction with the rest of measurements and give you the most complete and rich real-time feedback from any smartwatch in this category.<\/p>\n

Where are my buttons?<\/h2>\n

Another good example of how we designed Swimmo<\/a> is the interface and how you control it. Smartwatches today, as they never focused on swimmers as we did, are big and cluncky but the worst thing is they have 5 or 6 buttons! How are you suppose to control this thing while in the pool? We didn’t know so we decided to create something new and different…That’s how Rotate&Tap<\/strong> was born and this is how we got rid of ALL the buttons<\/strong>. With simple flick of the wrist you choose an option from the menu and with a single tap you confirm your choice. That’s all and it is as easy to use as it sounds.<\/p>\n

Swimmo is beautiful inside & outside<\/div><\/div>\n

Perfect app in a perfect world.<\/h2>\n

We wanted to build an amazing mobile app for you to use with Swimmo<\/a>. We knew that no one understands our\u00a0product like we do and the app (for Android and iOS) is easy to use but full of features and all around exciting. You can read about it in our previous post<\/a>). At the same time we understand that there are familiar and wonderful ecosystems and health sites that already are logging people’s progress in other disciplines. That’s why we’ve also integrated Swimmo<\/a> with many popular systems like HealthKit, Endomondo, Swim.com, RunKeeper, Strava and many more! This way you – the user have a choice and can collect data from many activities in his favorite application.<\/p>\n

„How much?”<\/h2>\n

Yes, last huge difference<\/strong> between Swimmo<\/a> and those models of Garmin is the price<\/strong>!. We’ve packed all that inteligence, technology, sensors in one georgous watch and still you are able to pre-order it on Kickstarter for almost half the price of the competitors. Swimmo<\/a> right now is available for only 169 USD (even less in multipacks!) and mentioned models are 399-449 EUR. In other words there’s gonna be a lot more swimmers who will finally be able to afford great smartwatch<\/a>.<\/p>\n
