Got this as a gift and listening to my favorite radio station helps with my daily swim routine. Clip is a bit hard to use but overall this gadget is very useful.

After issue with incorrect numbers, got one that was correct
By Caitlin from AZ on 12/13/2020
Fit: NA
I recommend if you order one of these checking it immediately, so that you do not end up in a situation where you have a number repeating as I did the first time that I ordered the Bettertimes Lap counter. SwimOutlet was awesome about letting me return my defective one, and the new one is perfect with all of the numbers.

Great Training Aid!
By martinmick from Huntington Beach, CA on 9/25/2020
Fit: NA
This little guy is great! Helps you stay focused on your stroke rate. If you're an open water swimmer like I am, this helps keep you on pace. Also, it seems to alleviate some of the anxiety of swimming in the ocean.
It has 3 modes, but I just use the first one. It will beep like a metronome at a pace that you set. You will learn how to use it in about a minute. Oh, and it's super easy to stick under your cap and will stay put even in big waves.

Works well
By Mark G. from Aspen, CO on 7/17/2020
Fit: NA
I have had no real issues with this product. I do think it should be charged after each use (I swim about 1 hour or so). I tried to use it for podcast but the sound clarity was not sufficient. Overall it works great for music.

Love my new watch
By Kathleen from Oakland, CA on 7/10/2020
Fit: NA
Although I am still getting used to it, I find this watch much easier to figure out than my previous watches (e.g., how to track my open water swims). It's very solid and the folks at SwimOutlet.com were very helpful in answering my questions.

Tempo Trainer Pro is for training
By TriGuy from SE Iowa on 3/15/2020
Fit: NA
I took an advanced swim technique class and we used this. It does work really well for cadence. I set it on the desired stroke cadence and just swim. I have not used the other modes yet. If you are a tri person it is allowed to be used on the swim per USAT rules.
Tuck up under a swim cap works best. Easy to use. I have read other reviews where they stop working after a short time but have not had that issue myself.
It does float in water. Battery appears to be a non-standard size so you may want to order a spare before you need it.

Big face, little wheels
By Janice from Turlock, CA on 3/4/2020
Fit: NA
I like that this clock is visible from anywhere on the pool deck. Moving it is quite cumbersome. The wheels ought to be larger in order to move it more readily.

Love it! Even though it’s not perfect
By Erik from Vienna, VA on 2/15/2020
Fit: NA
I’ve had these for about 5-6 years. I swim about 2,400 meters 3-days a week. Love being able to listen to music while swimming. I’ve used other types, but this has the best sound. The design doesn’t rely on buds that keep falling out of my ears on flip turns. Saw some comments about people having issues with the charging pins - I’ve never had a problem with them and don’t do anything special with them - I just throw them in an outside mesh pocket. They do behave funny sometimes after about 3-years - I push power on and light goes on, then light goes off and doesn’t play - I’ve figured out that it will eventually start playing (it’s like it’s stuck processing something) - It doesn’t happen every time, just sometimes. Just noticed that the wires have become exposed at the connection points after 6-years of use. They have had a good run. In the absence of anything better existing, I would definitely buy again.

Love it
By Uki82 from San Diego, CA on 12/20/2019
Fit: NA
This mp3 player is awesome, no more struggling with earbuds that fall out.
The only annoying part is that you need to plug it into your computer to upload the music, and that you cannot make playlists (either play them in order uploaded or in shuffle).
Aside from that they sound great, they allow me to relax and block out all the annoying noise people make in a crowded pool (specially during the summer).
Initially I had to return them because the strap broke. However, Finis replaced them and I received a new pair that has a better material and hasn't ripped. I use them 7 days a week for an hour swimming laps in the pool. I've had them for a year now with no issues.

Using for surfing
By Srf4Hm from Palm Coast, FL on 12/19/2019
Fit: NA
I bought this watch because I needed something I could wear surfing. I had a Rip Curl watch before that I really liked. Had it for several years. It started leaking and fogging up though. After much research I decided to stick with the Rip Curl. Hope it will work out and not leak. Looks like the picture. I think it’s an attractive watch considering what you’re using it for. I have only worn it once in the water since I’ve gotten it but so far so good.

Wouldn't charge
By LDB187 from Clarksville, TN on 12/8/2019
Fit: NA
I bought one of these items 3 yrs ago and loved it up until recently when it quite charging. So I ordered another one last month and when it arrived I took it out of the package and plugged it in to charge and it would not charge either. So I sent it back and was sent another one. It would charge either. I sent it back and got a refund since they did not have anymore in stock. I found the same item at a different vendor and order it. Luckily this one charged and it working well. Love using it when lap swimming. I just hook it to my googles.

Nope... too thick-headed
By Woof from Vermont USA on 11/25/2019
Fit: NA
I understand how it’s supposed to work, and can at times get it to work. But it is very fiddle and I can’t get it to an optimal location to wrk consistently. Honestly, just does not work for me. Expensive experiment. Went to waterproof iPod with beep track loop. Works fine. Have multiple cadences and I never have an issue hearing it.

FINIS Duo Underwater Bone Conduction MP3 Player - Worked as expected.
By Chris Fischer from St. Louis MO on 11/1/2019
Fit: NA
The Bone player attaches to my goggles easily and stays in place. I hear the music quite well. I would suggest that ear plugs be worn while swimming to enhance the sound. Without the water they do not resonate great. Swimming breast stroke where your head bobs in and out of the water can be frustrating without the plugs. Otherwise these have been the best I have used so far. I swim all strokes and have had no issues with them not staying in place. Even Butterfly.

Mixed review
By fortedelnorte from New Mexico on 10/28/2019
Fit: NA
Really like the functions but the first one i received last about 20 laps before it had water inside and malfunctioned. A replacement was shipped quickly and after one use, all good for now. Seemed very accurate counting laps on first use (1.5 mile workout in a pool in a number of sets). Like the vibrate function- if you know the pace you'd like to be on you can set it to vibrate every x minutes which lets you know where you are vis a vis your desired pace. I find i can't see the number of laps while swimming- combination old eyes and don't want to break stroke and pull watch to my face but the timed vibrate works just as well. Will update review if this one fails but so far so good.

Won't Swim Without It
By Genska from Oxnard, CA on 8/13/2019
I have purchased several Duos and the earlier Neptunes over the years. I swim laps using them several times a week for an hour each time. I listen to audible books that I download free from my local library (using Overdrive). As a result, I get my entertainment while swimming; I won't swim without my Duo because it is too boring. My Duos typically last 100 swims or so before needing to be replaced due to corrosion.

Great headphones
By Anna A. from LEXINGTON, MA on 7/17/2019
Finally getting the hang of these headphones. They store plenty of songs, as long as you have the mp3 files, otherwise you need to convert them first. Easy to charge. Took a little getting used to in terms of fit, but once I hooked them onto both straps of my goggles I was good to go!

Great waterproof MP3 player
By C M from Detroit on 7/14/2019
Works wonders in and out of the water. Easy to use. Great quality and sound makes lap swimming enjoyable. The newer model does not display the name of the song playing, however the newer model has fewer apparatus to attach to your swimming goggles. This is my third pair in seven years secondary to the wire shorting out.

good for timing my lap swim
By Purple fish from Bayside NY on 6/28/2019
I got this after returning (to another vendor) a fit-bit like device that just wouldn't work in the pool. This is much simpler and has a great, large, easy-to-read display.
I deducted one star from a perfect review because I cannot figure out how to recall the various splits.

Great!
By Len Rogers from Lynchburg, VA on 6/27/2019
As with many new products, Customer Service makes ALL the difference between sending it back, or learn to use it-- and enjoy it to the MAX! It takes more than a little to learn to "load" it, but the results are well worth all the effort! A great product.

lap watch
By releach2 from Salem, OR on 5/23/2019
This is my second poolmate,I have the poolmate 2 with a dead battery that I tried to change but the watch won't seal and leaks. When I saw that they came out with the twist off port for changing batteries your self that was all I needed to get me to buy.I like these watches because they not only count your laps but they also analyze your laps so can see when you are improving.

swimming with music...ahhhh
By harmony gates from Oakland, CA on 5/10/2019
Once you figure out how to add this to your swim protocol, you will love it. It's different. Nothing goes in your ears. You must position the flat surfaces of the unit over your cheekbones. So you must attach either side to your goggle straps. But you must be able to do so without creating a gap between the goggle and your face, or you get leakage..so be sure that your goggles will allow this. I had to switch goggles because of how my goggles' straps fastened to my goggles. If you can get the finis duo on your goggle straps AND have a snug fit on your goggles, you are gold.
The sound is not quite as rich as with in-ear devices. But I found that my waterproof ipod shuffle kept breaking. Or the earbuds would die. So you won't have that problem here. I can use my Mac silicone earplugs (with the tree bud ends), with the duo, and this keeps my ears free of annoying water in the ear canals.
However, if you are an iTunes person, you will have to convert your songs to .mp3 in order to load them up on this. It's a hassle. but you can play them in a playlist order. BUT again, there is no obvious way to know what song you are que'd up to listen to. Also the functions of on/off, volume up and down, and forward or back in the tune list takes some getting used to. It's not really that intuitive. It also takes some watchful monitoring to know when the battery might need to be recharged. I knocked off a star for this challenging user interface situation.
That said, this delivers the tunes I want to hear, reliably. I rarely have to adjust my gear once I get in the pool. I swim hard laps for an hour, and have timed my playlist to match my energy and routine.
A friend swam with a duo and she had problems with the back cable wiggling around a lot and eventually fraying. My newer model employs a more flexible cable, and I don't have the same problem. Just to be sure though, I tuck the cable into my goggle straps. In my cap, goggles, and duo--I look awesome!

Perfect!
By Jenn from Virginia on 4/28/2019
I love this watch! I had one for years and I broke the face, I was shaking out a jacket and the zipper broke the glass, it stood up to a lot of abuse in the years I had it and I knew I needed to have another one! I swim and I'm in the water all the time it's very durable and easy to clean. Getting to the battery is a pain but thankfully I only had to change the battery one time. I love this watch, I'll never go with another brand

Game Changer!
By Becca from Dublin, CA on 4/25/2019
My husband swims laps a few times a week (training for a triathlon). He gets so bored without music but saw another swimmer who had these headphones and recommended them. I got them as a birthday gift a few weeks ago and he LOVES them. Highly, highly recommends.
