Sadly, no. I‘ve been swimming with my Apple watch and also doing some cardio sessions in the pool. The HR Sensors don‘t work underwater. It will track the laps in the pool: With every pool workout you can set the length of each pool lane. For HR-Tracking you need an external HR-Tracker with Bluetooth functionality. I personally am using the Polar Connect A7
Well with the display dimmed from sleep mode, I can‘t easily access the control center so I can‘t use the red flash light from the Watch, which I need as my wife and daughter sleep in the same room. So if I am looking for something in the middle of the night I would have to unlock the display first but then using the control center, the display goes to the „max brightness“ for the given environment which is way too bright when I then turn on the flash light. In theater mode I can manually increase brightness of the display and it stays at that setting even if I use the watch.
Sleep mode alone sadly doesn‘t do it for my use case
I can usually activate that when I turn on theater mode when I go to sleep
No, because I don‘t need to buy the newest Tech every year. And IF there is a new system, but I don‘t like it…. Why do I need to upgrade? Or probably with how slow Technology is evolving nowadays it be more of a sidegrade than an upgrade
