Actually I dont really use a watch but I time my laps myself for swimming and for rowing the machine tells you exactly. I am planning on getting a watch sometime, but honestly im not sure if I even need one, the data that you do need (time, laps, distance) can easily be tracked mentally and the sport that im serious about, rowing, the erg always tracks splits and distance either way, so honestly the data is frankly useless for most people. Although I do get the appeal, its very nice

For rowing? I dont think you meant rowing but honestly just use whatever erg you have access to because a Concept2 erg is fairly rare in India plus its expensive to buy. If you meant a watch then no i dont use a watch I use a timer

Just go to a gym and look around for a rowing machine (google before hand what it looks like) most likely it wont be a Concept 2 but if it an air rower, i.e not hybrid or magnetic, only air, it's close enough to most C2 machines for training on volume atleast.

I really do want one, however, despite the fact functionally speaking I dont think I really need it, infact Id say beyond extreme high atheletes most sports people dont need it. Distance is easily measured, heart-rate is not that useful of a stat as people think, most if you want to train aerobics you do it in Zone 2, which simply speaking is going slow enough for a conversational pace, that's simply slowing down, beyond that calorie burn is very misleading on even good watches, and the number varies across.
An apple watch is good for the look of it, it really looks great the way their UI works and works with the rest of your iphone. But a Garmin is probably the best in terms of tracking, fitbits new strap only model is pretty good too

Especially since I do a lot of underwater swimming. it'd be fun to sit deep underwater and listen to music. I really love sitting underwater, Infact I think Ive inadvertently been training my Co2 tolerance just because during lap breaks I love to dive deep into 12 feet and sit, sit at the floor, even if for a moment, look around

My whole life in one way or the other Ive been near water, or literally on ocean. Ive done scuba and freediving before, and it's almost like when Im underwater I feel nothing, its so quiet, its all clear, it's like what I imagine being an animal would be like, sensory experience is so much down there that you cannot think much beyond what is ahead, and ofcourse, you're afraid, even if you're not you're a few steps away from fear, always, you can easily panic and squirm around, you can feel death around you, you're encased in water and you can only hold so much Co2 until you have to go up. It's an amazing experience, and I think even though I dont see swimming competitively it's almost like returning home, it's so nice after a swim
was supposed to meet friend today but he apparently had to go away early back to his home town. Either that or he is feeling too awkward after out semi-fight
