"Highly recommended for lap swimmers who just like to go and not have to concentrate on counting laps. Also great for averages in drills, but probably best used if you write it down and reset between exercises."running4beer

(5)

Ease of use

One button click, couldn't be easier. One small issue is that if you're looking for individual splits late in your swim, you have to scroll through your 90 laps to get to them.

(5)

Quality of Construction

I've already smacked this on the lane lines a few times, and so far it seems fairly resilient.

(4)

Fit

I have small hands and skinny fingers. It is adjustable and I was able to size it for a decent fit.

(4)

Comfort

A little hard to get used to, but again-- small fingers and I don't wear rings. By the end of my first session, I forgot about it.

(5)

Adjustability

Could make it small enough to stay securely on my hands, and still not sure if I like it on top of my index or on the side of it-- nice to have the option to switch it around and easily reset size if necessary.

(5)

Value

Cheap solution for timing and lap counting. Proves most valuable if you're like me and your swim workouts are more likely to be straight lap swim rather than looking at printed out drills that are easier to keep track of.

(4)

Appearance

Unobtrusive looking thing. Only wish there was more contrast on the numbers since my best fitting goggles are a little dark.

(5)

Performance

So far, does what it's supposed to.

Strengths

Cheap, compact, utilitarian. Average lap time as well as fastest and slowest lap are pretty cool features.

Weakness

You've got to remember to push the button all the time!
