The Swimovate Pool Mate hit the swimming scene last year with a bang and this year they made it even better. The Swimovate Pool Mate Pro not only tracks your workout on the watch itself, but it can also download your workout to your computer.
The watch contains motion
sensors to automatically monitor the
motion of your arm when swimming so you don’t have to worry
about
counting laps yourself and can concentrate on your technique or just
relax and swim. The Pro package includes a download pod that plugs into
your USB port and cable. The watch will simply and automatically
transfer the data via Infrared link to the pod and your PC.
In addition to the statistics
for the overall session it will record
the same data for each individual set so you can see how all these
metrics change through a swim session. You can even time your rest
periods between sets. All data is stored in a large memory in the watch
for review during or after a swim session (over 100 LOGS can be stored
before download).
The included software is simple
and intuitive to use and has
multiple language support.
