Yesterday I lost my Garmin Forerunner 955 while swimming and playing in a lake with my kids. The water was only about 1.2 m (4 ft) deep, but it was so muddy that visibility was basically zero.

After giving up, I remembered that I had an alarm set for 6:30 AM. So I went back early this morning, waited for the alarm, put my head underwater, and listened.

I could actually hear it.
I followed the sound and found the watch in less than two minutes. It had been underwater for about 14 hours and still worked perfectly.

I used AI to help format this post because English isn’t my first language, but the story itself is 100% true. 😄
