Note that currently, only Fenix 8 can read 40m depth, other models are voluntarily limited by Garmin to a depth measurement of ~3m and need to be tested.
Generic activity
The default activity type is now "Generic", so your activities recorded with Apnea will no longer be displayed as swimming activities (this was already the case on Fenix 3, Fenix 3 HR, Vivoactive 3 and Fenix 5X).
The reason is that Garmin has decided to progressively disable the optical heart rate sensor on swimming activities, with users reporting to me that the Fenix 5S Plus and then the Pro were now impacted.
In order to continue to benefit from heart rate measurement (and even if accuracy is impaired in the water), the activity has therefore been changed to generic.
Update
Download the application directly from your dashboard and copy it directly to your watch.
