any tips / recommendations, please?

Honestly, if money isn't an issue, go with the Apple Watch, especially if you have an iphone. If you don't want to use an apple watch or don't have a lot of money, go with a fitbit. I'm using a fitbit and I find it's pretty accurate.

any particular model of fitbit?

 

i think apple watch requires daily charging, rite

 

how bout fitbit

[ressac]

i have fitbit versa 2. decent and keeps track of everything (sleeping, running without GPS, workout, walking etc), EXCEPT swimming distances.

 

I swim a combination of strokes for my laps and the distance in the water is not accurate - like clocking only 50%-60% distance (280-320m instead of 500m for 10-laps).

 

So if u use it mainly for swimming, versa 2 prob not a good fit. The higher levels (sense series, versa 3 and 4 has GPS) might be more accurate.

i wonder if any brands out there could beat xiaomis twenty one day of no charging

Xiaomi band 9 has no dedicated swimming function. It is waterproof but can't count laps even. I was disappointed even though I got it for free.

 

I'm not sure about the smart band 10, if it has the dedicated swimming mode.

[egal]

it does

 

it can even recognise stroke types
