I had a Garmin Swim2 for a few years and was happy with its swim tracking performance, but over the past few months it got a bit slow and had some trouble syncing and the battery life decreased. It was starting to feel a little obsolete. Then I lost it recently. I'd like to replace it with the Vivoactive 6 or the Vinu 4. I need a watch that tracks freestyle well in the pool and in open water, but I don't need too many advanced features. One thing I didn't like about the Swim 2 was that it didn't tell me the time while it was tracking my activity, so I'd love to have a watch able to do that. I understand that the Vinu 4 has dual frequency GPS, which theoretically should make it better at swim tracking than the Vivoactive 6, but if the Vivoactive 6 is pretty accurate then I'm not sure that matters to me.

I'd appreciate thoughts from anyone who has tried either of these models.

Because FFT is disabled, I cannot log in to ask for support or use the community support functions. My final grades are due on Friday and some of my students are seniors who will not graduate if I do not give them a grade. I want to know whether there is any information about whether I will have access to gradebook information by Friday, or whether there is any way for them to get this information on the back end and send it to instructors.

I know that many people are affected by this situation, but the total lack of information for Free for Teacher users has been a huge challenge for me and lots of other people who cannot afford to get a paid account and can't get an account through their employer. I'm facing the possibility that I might need to regrade all assignments for the last two months and I have no idea how I could possibly get that done by Friday.

I tried to contact Instructure through the online contact form; I haven't been able to find any other point of contact. I received an automatic reply, responded to that reply, and heard nothing back. Is there some other way to make contact or get support?
