        @karmazynowycukiereczek Unfortunately, GPS does not receive signals underwater.
        You need to make sure that you are swimming freestyle and when you reach a resting position, leave your hand with the watch out of the water on a buoy that you are swimming with.

          @GiPFELKiND in my case, GPS doesn’ recive signals anywhere. Again, I switch the swimming mode on, waited for five minutes and went for a walk - nothing. Repeated the same distance but with walk mode on and it recorded the distance. So GPS works, swimming mode switches it off…

              can you make sure that you select open water swimming?
              In pool swimming GPS is supposed to be off.
              Plus double check that in the training options of your open water swimming sport mode, battery mode is set to power and the GPS switch is on.

                @Egika I tried that, many times. I performed all kinds of resets, switched all off/on. Sometimes I get reading for 2 or 10 meters, and it’s off again.

                  @Sta-Rydziad maybe something is broken for your individual watch. Probably an issue with the antenna.
                  I suggest you contact service.

                    @Egika yes, antena is broken in open swim water mode, but in run, hike and bike works excellent 😛

                      @karmazynowycukiereczek antenna or something else.
                      My suggestion is the same: contce support. This is not a behavior by design…

                        Hi,

                        Last Saturday I used Open Water Swimming mode for the first time and it failed to record my track as well.

                        However, I did not get GPS fix before I started the activity. Why? When I was in the water some drops caused the touchscreen to swipe 😬 , and I had to reselect the activity once again. And it happened seconds before my race start, so I didn’t have time to wait for the fix. Can it be the reason?

                        Once I got out of the water, the watch acquired GPS signal and recorded the rest ot my race (it was triathlon).

                        Regards!
