Moov Swim - Coaching with Moov Wearable Device Tracker

On my first swim with moov I swam 30 laps in a 25 yard pool and it told me that I swam 60 laps On my second swim with moov I swam 40 laps and it told me that I swam 85 laps The miscounting of laps throws all the data off so its completely useless Extremely disappointing Some reviews Ive read said others have had this same problem but some reviews claim that their moov is very accurate How can this be Is there anyway to get my moov to record accurate data or at least a way to edit the lap count so that it can be corrected     Horribly inaccurate useless

This app is simply amazing It gives you precise stats for each element of your swim From the amount of strokes you take to the time it takes you to do a flip turn Im really enjoying using it to get better with my technique It definitely makes training way more fun              Amazing stats

Not off to a great start First swim with the device fully charged Actual stroke swimming distance was 2500 yards The app counted only 89 of those 100 25 yard laps It tracked fairly well through a warm up of 400 300 200 but started miscounting after around lap 55 The 10 second minimum for rest between swims should be adjustable Sometimes I do 25 yard repeats with only 5 to 10 seconds rest interval At lap 70 doing 100 yard pull swims it counted only three of four lengths Also what about kicking sets I would think that the accelerometer should be able to detect a wall push off and arm movements during kicking I like the idea and applaud the first release but please lets work harder to make it a lot more accurate           Great Idea Works well when it works

The tracker and app worked fine for a few months Now the combo is randomly giving me We had a problem recognizing your swim errors when I sync Thats highly frustrating when youve just finished a good workout Recently I did get a successful sync but it multiplied my swim by a factor of 3xlogging 6000 meters when I swam 2000 Id stay away until they work out the bugs unless youre going to primarily use one or more of the other featureswalking 7 minute workout or boxing which seem to work ok        Works great until it doesnt

My favorite thing about Moov is that after starting your workout you can forget its even there Theres no need to start and stop splits intervals or sets You just swim as you choose referring to the clocks on the pool deck for reference time pointslike people are meant to swim Moov records everything for you It tracks the time of each lap as well as the time of each rest in between based on whether your actively moving through the water or resting on the wall Once youre finished all the data from your swim is transferred to your phone processed and intuitively presented through the app In addition to showing average stroke timedistance and highlighting the fastest split time and longest distance with the associated stroke number and pace the app reports the time number of strokes and turn time for each individual lap across the pool Recommendations are made based on this data For example on my fastest 100 split my stroke rate was 233 secstroke The app suggests that I could improve my swim by speeding up this stroke rate suggesting I should aim for a stroke rate of 15 17 secstroke if Im a distance swimmer or 09 11 secstroke if Im a sprinter Sound a whole lot like the advice my Olympicgoldmedalist swim coach gives The only issue I had was that out of the 64 laps in my workout 1600 yards 2 were missed 62 were logged It missed 25 yards on the end of my 300 yard warm up plus another 25 at the beginning of one of my 100 yard splits Instead of logging these 25 yard laps it logged extra rest time It didnt ever seem to miss strokes in the middle of a lap but just missed a lap in those two instances All part of being an early adopter Which brings me to my last point Moov is a small startup As with any new product line quirks are expected Moov will get better as more people adopt it More features more apps and more reliability will come with more users and more time And I think theyre off to a great start My recommendation Make the Moov                 Make the Moov

I have done it for swimming and it is amazing It compares you to other pro swimmers and gives you a tip to work on the next time you get in to the pool Also try the 7 minute workout This device is fantastic                 Love It

Very accurate now I compare it to my misfit shine And they are within 10 The rubber wrist band has to go Size has to come down too              Much improved from the Swim beta

Very impressed Correct number of laps and lots of insightful data                 Works as advertised

And it worked great Nice to get something that does what it says and does it right out of the box                 Just tried swim for first time

This app has fantastic feedback                 Love it

The entire MOOV system is brilliant Im really happy with everything about it                 And yet more MOOV greatness

This tracker is exactly what I wanted when I went in search of a device to chart my swimming except for the lack of a continuous step counter for all of the time that I am outside of the pool Add that and it will be perfect A yoga coach would be awesome too                 Exactly What I Want Except

I used to swim in High School but stopped after graduation Now its 10 years later and Im 80 pounds overweight I decided to get back into swimming and become healthy again Now Ive never owned a fitness bandwatch before and I really only wanted something to track the calories that I burn and time me I stumbled across Moov and read how different it was from everything else I wasnt looking for a coach or a lap or stroke counter but reading more about it made me excited and gives me goals in the pool then just trying to burn calories Its fun and challenging to try and decrease your strokes or shorten your time Reading back the report makes me feel like Im in High School again with my coach giving me feedback I cant wait to get back in the pool to work on getting a better report back Truthfully I could be jumping the gun here since I just used the Moov for the first time today but its everything it said it was going to be and works perfectly No problem with the app and it uploaded my data right away Was all that data correct Mostly My second half of my workout I switched to kickboard and pull buoy So I confused it a bit But I believe Moov may be working to record your kicks in the future Accurate lap numbers dont concern me at the moment because I already go in with a set number of laps and sets to do I have many planed out and they increase in toughness over time So I think the Moov is great and with more improvements and a Moov for your legs it will be even greater                 Exactly what I need and more

This is an update to a previous review below What can I say about this support team They are great Every single suggestion in my old review has been incorporated into the app Theyve also worked with me directly over email Moovs team is great A little on the latest version the stroke feature is still a little off Im pretty tall 61 and it tends to confuse fly with freestyle I think this has to do with my arm span but Im not sure my form is correct Given the price point Id have no problem wearing two sensors one on each hand or one on the opposite foot to improve stroke accuracy This would be a great option In general though keep up the good work guys Original review I tend to swim distance and this app does a great job when you use a constant stroke with well defined rest periods Id love it though if the next version included Heath kit support like the running app information on interval length displayed in the same region as the rest time and greater support for stroke variation can it tell stroke type Also it should be clear that it displays lengths as laps which confuses a lot of swimmers In a 25m pool a length is 25m and a lap is 50m The app currently reports a lap as 25m which is confusing to most frequent swimmers              Wonderful support staff great app

Ive used a number of wearables by this point and given Moovs capability I can say its the best for my needs of lap counting and split times Also stroke detection is now in beta and just makes it even better                 Best swim appwearable Ive used

Seems to do basic tracking of my workout but Im disappointed in the lack of detailed coaching Coaching is the point of Moov and there is none here While it provides painless and intuitive tracking of strokes laps and time Im looking for detailed analysis of stroke technique critique of different strokes freestyle vs breaststroke etc or at minimum tracking of the individual strokes Their movements are unique enough this should be possible If this were pitched to be a tracking app Id provide 5 stars But as a coaching app It falls short of expectations     Ok for basic tracking

Ive had a Moov since the summer waiting for the swim app Disappointed that key elements dont work Primarily it doesnt accurately calculate laps It thinks each length is a lap and then it might add in extra laps It also logs a lot of rest times that I dont actually take Not short times either upwards of 30 seconds which would be a lot of standing around Not sure what it thinks Im doing     Doesnt work

Moov Swim doesnt even come close to the usefulness of Moov Run and Walk as far as I can tell so far Theres no coaching just a few general tips There are no interval training plans like there is in Moov Run and Walk which is ironic because swimming is much more about interval training than running is Im not even going to comment on mistaken rest periods because that can be fixed But seriously provide some training programs and feedback based on performance Otherwise itll be useless And Im a big fan of the Moov conceptI want more than typical activity trackers but dont need the GarminSuunto triathlete functionality I need coaching and measures of improvement Just give us some general interval plans to try and do and then tell us how we did based on the goal Hope youre listening Moov        Not useful at allyet

If this is just the first edition of the Moov swim app I cant wait till they unlock more data analysis and insights from the device to help me improve my technique                 Powerful fitness data

Moov gives me my times identifies my stroke and even gives me my split times It has transformed my workouts in the pool Every time I swim I am now challenging myself I couldnt ask for a better fitness device for swimming                 Fantastic swim device

I am beginner in swimming and moov gave me the correct feedback which my instructor had given me earlier Great job                 Great

Trying the swim app today for the first time and it worked great and acutely Only thing I miss is the ability to share the workout with the Health app or UP              Nice
