    @EzioAuditore interesting. So I’ve not bothered, based on how I believe Bluetooth propagates through water. Did you have wrist HR disabled? Even with 300m in air, I can’t see it working in water, so my hypothesis is that they had some connection, some of the time, and the rest was wrist.

    For the record, Form goggles, v1 used the Sense for HR, and it had to be on the goggle strap, on the same side as the computer package, otherwise it wouldn’t work.

      b) I don’t do underwaters at all 🙂

        @herlas I did have polar vantage v. Didn’t use it for pool swimming. Lovely watch.
        Underwater in the pool is how much according to you? I did swim with the verity sense (on my head) + Suunto 9 Baro on hand without apparent problems. Swimming is not my prime sport I do practice it occasionally. Have not tried it (verity sense) with recent watches for swimming, once I do I will comment further.

          @Ze-Stuart I never disable OHR on the watches. It is my understanding that once connected to HR belt even if the connection is lost the OHR will not take over (will try this on my next run - start with belt and remove it to see if the OHR will kick in). In the reddit post there are people that didn’t have any problem swimming with the verity (or the H10) and the AW (even if not close to each other).

            @EzioAuditore Bluetooth is lost as soon as you’re in the water right, if you managed to swim and keep top of your head completely out all the way, that means you don’t streamline underwater after each wall turn for 3 or 4 secs, you don’t swim breaststroke, backstroke etc 🙂

            I get what you’re saying, no worries.
            On your last comment, it has been discussed before and there’s no auto switch source for HR, power when the external device stops for whatever reason.

              @herlas Unfortunately I don’t have put much thought if and when the BT connection is lost 😞 Was it lost and re-connected after some sec? Probably. If @Ze-Stuart is in the EU I can of course send him my verity and he can test it as much as he likes before deciding if it suits him 🙂 I use mostly H10 now, so if this helps him investigate I am more than willing to sent it.

                @EzioAuditore ah I… Might have a Verity Sense, but thanks! I have quite the collection of HR monitors, fortunately my partner is understanding.

                The weirdest I had was when I had my Suunto paired to a Whoop, and after a swim the watch synchronised with the Whoop and downloaded the data, behaviour I’ve only seen with the Suunto chest strap. Neither Suunto nor Whoop can explain it.

                  @Ze-Stuart I know 🙂 Thankfully my partner also understands (or she ignores me) 🙂
