What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Battery figures are manufacturer claims and apply to different modes. The listing calls the watch not water resistant, while customer feedback mentions swim tracking, so do not treat the feedback as confirmation of water suitability. The title and feature copy give the case as 43mm, consistent with the listed dimensions, but water capability remains unclear.
