Q: QuestionIs this waterproof and can it track swimming calories?

Asked 7 years ago by Anbu.

• A:Answer The vivosmart HR is water resistant up to 50 meters, making it safe to wear while swimming or bathing. It will be able to track calories when worn throughout the day, and will use heart rate information to help give an accurate calorie burn. This device was not specifically designed to track swimming activities, so is not designed to specifically track calories burned while swimming.

Q: QuestionDoes it record calories burned while swimming?

Asked 7 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer The vivosmart HR has the ability to track calories based on heart rate data. The vivosmart HR isn't designed to track swim specific activities, but if you run the timer during a swim session an activity will be recorded and the device would continue to provide a calorie burn estimate. One thing to note, since this device is not designed to provide accurate heart rate while swimming the calorie data may not be accurate since the heart rate data can be impacted by the water.
