Water rower vs C2 split accuracy

Post by ameliaclute » March 26th, 2018, 12:35 am

I'm a collegiate rower and have used the C2/RP3 my entire time rowing, but today I went to a gym that used a Life Fitness water rower. I tried it out and found that I could hold my (Concept 2) 6k pace with relatively low effort, despite what the monitor said. Are water rowers less accurate that Concept 2 ergs?

Sorry, its really different, its simply a very different machine. If needed you can train, but forget the numbers. Go for time and hf.
