As we are already halfway through the summer, we had the chance to try the latest bunch of swimming watches and trackers. We have our favorites, but we dove into the water-resistant wearable market a bit deeper to bring you the widest selection. Now, you can splash into the pool with the best wearables for swimming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003C!--more-->\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>The three challenges of swimming with trackers\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp> Throughout the years, we could distill the characteristics that make fitness trackers, sleep sensors or devices for monitoring vital health parameters great, as we have tested countless \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002Fthe-top-sleep-sensors-for-expert-level-tracking\">sleep sensors\u003C\u002Fa>, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002Fhow-to-measure-sleep\">sleep apps\u003C\u002Fa>, or wearables. In the case of swim sensors, three challenges are necessary to overcome. For a starter, the sensor needs to be waterproof, not just water-resistant. Well, it seems to be obvious at first, since the gadget has to function underwater, but it is not that easy to produce a waterproof tracker as it first sounds. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\nSecondly, it’s really difficult to analyze movements in water: counting the turns, recognizing the swimming style, measuring vital health parameters. For being able to measure this complex set of movement, Apple \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.popsci.com\u002Finside-apple-watch-swim-tracking\">gathered data from more than 700 swimmers and over 1,500 swim sessions\u003C\u002Fa> and sends GPS data from your wrist to nearby Satellites.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp> The third challenge of swim tracking is measuring heart rate in water, while the usual method for measurement doesn’t work in the pool. The majority of trackers use a series of green lights that flash against the skin to detect changes in blood volume to generate those beats per minute (BPM) readings. Therefore, chest straps might be better solutions than wrist-worn wearables. So, there are plenty of problems to overcome when you design a swim tracker, but let’s see the best swim watches and trackers in 2019 on the market. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Ca class=\"img\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.patreon.com\u002Fthemedicalfuturist\u002Fposts\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"311\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2020\u002F04\u002FScreenshot-2020-04-02-at-13.35.51-768x311.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27373\"\u002F\u003C\u002Fa srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2020\u002F04\u002FScreenshot-2020-04-02-at-13.35.51-768x311.png 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2020\u002F04\u002FScreenshot-2020-04-02-at-13.35.51.png 1518w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>1) \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fbuy.garmin.com\u002Fen-US\u002FUS\u002Fp\u002F97287\">Garmin Swim\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>US consumer electronics company, Garmin, introduced this tracker specifically designed for swimmers.

For some people, the percentage of deep sleep will make a difference, for others change in air pressure during a storm. There is no general recipe for a good night sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>There are certain patterns, however, which are the same for everyone. Researchers found that sleep could be divided into non-REM and REM sleep. The former part has three further stages, and this is the phase when your body recovers. In REM sleep – named after the rapid eye movement that happens during this stage – the brain is incredibly active. This is the part of our sleep where we dream, process and store memories (sleep experts claim REM is not the only phase for doing that, but let’s settle with this thought for now).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The first two phases of non-REM sleep are characterized as light sleep periods. Anyone can be woken up easily, your body usually prepares for the third stage, deep sleep or gets out of REM when light happens. Smart alarms usually give the wake-up call during this phase as your awakening is much lighter and more comfortable than in deep sleep. The latter, the third stage of your shuteye is the time when your body does maintenance. You grow muscles and regrow tissues. So, it is really important to get enough deep sleep – but for each phase, really, as every sleep stage has its own biological function in recovering your body, brain, and soul from the experiences of the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"870\" height=\"359\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F01\u002F20171122_sleep-cycles.png\" alt=\"Light sleep, deep sleep, REM\" class=\"wp-image-17069\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F01\u002F20171122_sleep-cycles.png 870w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F01\u002F20171122_sleep-cycles-768x317.png 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F01\u002F20171122_sleep-cycles-512x211.png 512w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F01\u002F20171122_sleep-cycles-458x189.png 458w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>How to analyze sleep tracking results?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If you have a sleep tracker or sensor, you have definitely encountered the various stages of sleep.

It is also useful not to wake up directly from a deep sleep phase, as you will be groggy the whole morning. Sometimes you will not even know “where you are” for a couple of moments, as in deep sleep, in a sudden wake-up call, the brain needs some minutes to reboot. A smart alarm helps a lot with smooth awakenings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>We usually jump from deep sleep into REM phase.
