Garmin Swim™ 2 — Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Garmin Garmin Swim™ 2 fit my wrist?

How long does the Garmin Garmin Swim™ 2 battery last?
Between 13 hours and 7 days per charge, depending on the power mode. Garmin rates Smartwatch at 7 days and GPS at 13 hours; the chart above lists all 3 modes.
How does the Garmin Garmin Swim™ 2 battery compare with other Garmin watches?
At 7 days in everyday use it ranks #160 of the 203 Garmin watches in our database — below the middle of the range. The full ranking, including GPS and power-saving figures, is on our Garmin battery life comparison.
Is the Garmin Garmin Swim™ 2 thick for a 42mm watch?
At 11.4mm, thinner than 74% of 42mm watches, so it slides under a cuff more easily than most of its size. Thickness, not case width, is what decides whether a watch catches on a shirt cuff.
What other watches are the same size as the Garmin Garmin Swim™ 2?
Certina DS Action Chrono PVD / Carbon / Bracelet, Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch 3861 Moonshine Gold / Black Lacquer, TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Seafarer Stainless Steel / Silver, Huawei Watch 5 - 42mm all sit within half a millimetre of the Garmin Garmin Swim™ 2's 42mm case, so they cover the same amount of wrist.
