Does the watch have to be ON your wrist to record lap information while swimming? I just bought the Finis Stream Bluetooth headphones and it requires you to attach the watch to the back of your head using a strap with your goggles. The music works great but it's not recording my laps.

Hi alliswell6,
Thank you for giving us the chance to assist you with your Apple Watch. You can count on us to do our best to assist you.
We understand that you are not able to get lap information while your Apple Watch is strapped at the back of your head.
This is expected since the Swimming workout uses the built-in accelerometer.
You can use the article below as a reference.
Take care!
