I bought mine from due south. R1599. A bit disappointed in it tho for what its worth. Sandton city due south is R100 more expensive so look around

why were you disappointed

[Davedk]

There are some problems I experienced: 1) it doesn't accurately keep the no. Of lengths I do in a 25m pool. If I'm just going slow it misses a few and if I'm sprinting it adds a few. Same with my girlfriend. 2) the face is big, so when reaching for the wall you sometimes stop the session due to your wrist hyperextending and the back of your hand pushes the stop button. 3) it only calculates the length if you glide out. So in other words on your last length you have to turn and glide out for it to register. 4) you can't stop a session and then start later with it adding it to your overall total. (Small problem but it sucks coz it shows the total on the face and I wanna brag dammit) and 6) it isn't sealed properly. Condensation in screen is a problem I read in a review and mine started last week too. Hope this helps

thanks..

 

I'd check the user manual as you can do point 4 above.

Had the watch for about a month. Happy with it so far. Does what it says on the tin. Sometimes picks up freestyle as backstroke but that is because I have a crap technique.

 

Lap counter has been spot on so far no miscounts and apparently the latest patch has improved the stroke detection.

No sorry, to be clearer on point 4- if you stop and save a session (not an interval) and then go again, it doesn't show. Happened to me a few times.

Had none of the issues talked about. Occasionally has short counted a long set during the set but the total was correct when stopped.

 

I think it is a fantastic device. The numbers are also big enough to see mid turn underwater even with my k@k eyesight.
