My Gear Sport was uncannily accurate at tracking swim laps, split times, and strokes up until about a week ago. As of about 1-2 weeks ago - about the time I noticed that my watch had clearly experienced a software "update" because the appearance of many of my screens was clearly different than before. . . - my Sport doesn't count a single lap in swimming mode. Nothing. The timer starts, but it just runs continuously until I stop swimming and manually press the Back button to stop it. Total distance and lap counts are both 0. The workout is uploaded to the Samsung Health app on my phone, but it only says that I swam for XX minutes. There is no lap data at all.
I downloaded the Swim dot com app to my watch and phone. When I use the Swim app, my watch DOES give me a lap count with split times, etc. So, it's NOT a hardware issue with my watch. It's the "updated" Samsung software IN my watch. Software which was working perfectly well before it was "updated" a week or two ago.
VERY ANGRY about this. Samsung needs to figure this out and revert the software to whatever it was previously - when it worked!
