About this product
The First Degree Water Rower is a home-use rowing machine with water resistance and a frame combining wood and steel. At $999, it is a mid-premium offering that aims to provide a natural rowing experience. The brand First Degree is known for fitness equipment, and this model targets users who want the feel of water resistance without the highest price tag.
Our take
I've been rowing on the First Degree Water Rower for a couple of months. The wood and steel hybrid frame looks good and feels stable. The water resistance creates a realistic rowing feel, and it's quieter than I expected. However, the monitor is basic—it shows time, distance, and strokes, but no heart rate or Bluetooth. For $999, I expected a bit more tech. The assembly was straightforward, and it folds partially for storage. Overall, a solid rower, but consider the WaterRower if you want more features.
