Love the Phlex edge, and I use it pretty much daily. They have great customer service too... I had water damage to my first device and they replaced it very quickly. I will say that it was hard for me to find goggles that I could wear the device without it flipping up the goggle and allowing water to enter in, especially following a hard push off the wall. But once you find that solid pair of goggles, you forget the device is there.

@@TheSwimsuitGuy I had the same issue. I now use the Arena Air Speed Mirror goggle instead. For me it didn't work with the Arena Cobra Ultra. But this might be different for everyone and depending on the shape of your head, as I've seen Calvyn Justus use the Edge with the Arena Cobra Ultra.

@@TheSwimsuitGuy I've had the most success with the Arena Airspeed goggles. I've tried with the speed sockets, and it sits a little too far back on my cap to get a great HR reading the duration of the workout. But the suction with the Airspeed goggles really lets me put the Edge where it needs to go and I get consistent readings

Sitting at home at 10:30PM fighting with the 2nd Phlex Edge I've had in 2 months trying to get it to sync data. Am quickly coming to the conclusion that these are basically junk, that their code is garbage, their support either AWOL or just don't care... and I would say definitely save your money and look at other options. The first Edge died in the middle of its first entire into the pool. My diagnosis is water seal breach. I believe their may have been a very small hairline crack in the plastic casing. Which had be from production, as the think was in my hands for 1 week, 6 days of which were spend with it on the cradle trying to get it to charge (It won't charge until you update the firmware to 1.12 FYI. Too bad they don't tell you that.) The second Edge made it through first entry into the pool unscathed. All functions worked as intended during the swim. Downloading the data (which involved x-fer to your phone, followed by upload to Phlex servers, data crunching in the cloud, and then a report comes back to your phone) took several attempts, as it took ~15 minutes for the process to complete, during which time if the phone goes into anything other than the screen for sync, including lock-screen timeout, you have to start over. So expect to stare at the screen for 15 minutes, just randomly touching the volume keys every few minutes. The data from the first workout was OK. No real shockers. Except that on their coaching app they confuse "recovery" zones with "anerobic" zones. That's a big egg on the face for them. But whatever, the value is in the trendlines, right? Well forget that, because after the second swim, it keeps saying it can't connect due to an Internet error. "Check your internet connection" it says. Well I did and the phone has full Internet access. If you want lots of headaches, be my guest and get one of these. Otherwise do yourself a favor and take a pass, at least until they can get the bugs out of the system.

Sorry to hear you've had such a bad experience. Have you reached out to them? Maybe try Instagram? I've had one unit for 6 months now and never had an issue syncing? I pair, leave the app, wait for a notification which says my workout is uploaded 5-10 mins later.

@@TheSwimsuitGuy Yes, I reached out to them. All I can say is maybe you were lucky, because I'm 2 for 2 with devices that turned into paperweights after the first use. Now the one that was having the upload problem is totally DOA. It charged with flashing green (seemed odd, since it's supposed to go from flashing yellow to solid green) and then was going through the modes correctly when I put it in my bag. Got to the pool, try to turn it on, and it was totally 100% dead. Now it doesn't charge at all. Something in their firmware is buggy maybe. I don't know but I wouldn't tell anybody to purchase one.

Think it’s quite cool, but they’ve made the same mistake as the Form goggles in pricing people out of it. I’d love to get one of these and also have them for my team and other people I train with. Unfortunately it’s just far too expensive. I’d rather get a new racing suit for that kind of money. It’s a shame as I think they’d probably make more money if they lowered the price and sold much more units...

I really don't think the price is bad. So many kids have a flagship tech suit that they really don't need. They could get a couple of Mizuno MX Sonics or Finis Fuse for 100USD and then use the change for something likea Phlex. Its a device that if you like and use daily actually will get it's money's worth. If your under 14 you are not reaping the marginal performance gains from a best of the best suit, the reality is you'd PB without it.

Great review! How sensitive is it? Meaning if i turn around or move my head up to talk to a coach or teammate between the intervals would that mess it up? Would it think I have started swimming? Also, I know you mentioned speed accuracy is pretty good. How about distance and number of repetitions in a set? Have you done a practice with it (or one of your swimmers) where you can screen record the app and kinda walk us thru it and comment on accuracy? That could be cool.

I never stressed while at the wall and never at problems with out comes. If I done 24x50s it got 24x50. The only small issues it had would be if you done a 400 as 200 Kick/200 Pull it might think you've done 200s because of the pause. On occasion I did randomly get an additional 25 added to some of my easy swimming. I would like to be able to neaten up the set within the app but for the most part it's as accurate as you want!

Wow your able to compete?! As for the 800 make sure you give yourself a chance early on and stay in discomfort without going over the edge. Really make sure your able to pick up at 400-600 and again in the last 200, make it hurt. But you should be going through a race plan with your coach! All the best!
