No one is prying your watch out of your cold dead hands. We’re simply laying out the reasons that “real swimmers”(tm) don’t /won’t use one. It’s ingrained in a lot of us from youth swimming, coaches didn’t want a pool full of kids all fiddling with watches when they were supposed to be paying attention to the instructions for the next set.
I don’t find post workout data to be particularly useful. To me, It’s irrelevant after that workout is done. And it doesn’t capture anything that I really need to capture. If a watch were capable of accurately measuring power and drag numbers, that would be useful data. Until then, it seems like data collection for the sake of it. The computer between my ears works better than any current swim computer that fits on my wrist.
