Thanks for the comment. Why doesn't Fitbit high-lite its capability to measure and REPORT your swim results? It must have the interval time recorded, in the watch, so why not report  the data in the dashboard??? It seems such a simple thing. Since the end of August the lap intervals are no longer displayed. Why not?

I use my watch mainly for it's swimming features. Do not care about calories! Now that they have been removed, my intereest in the watch has decreased! I will report these facts to my friends who are interested in a smart watch.  (if only the battery capacity of the apple watch were a bit larger.) I a,looking at the Gaemin Vivoactive  HR or the 3 as a replacement for the Versa.

I'm happy to Help at any time, Unlike the Apple Watch, the Galaxy Watch and the standard Versa, the Lite Edition doesn't offer wrist-based payments. It also lacks storage for offline music playback without your smartphone, and there's no tracking support for swimming or floors climbed either.One of the newest fitbits to hit the market is the Fitbit Inspire HR, which seems to combine a lot of the features of the Flex 2 with an Alta HR. Fitbit inspire HR is waterproof and offers swim tracking. It also tracks heart-rate and has a watch face, both of which make it an upgrade from the Fitbit Flex 2, i would Advice you check this out Fitbit Charge 3 is able to automatically recognise when you're swimming, capturing swim lengths, duration, distance and pace. Based on my time swimming with the Fitbit Charge 3, that automatic tracking worked for every swim session.
