LapCounter - Digital Counter for Tracking Swim Laps or Running Laps

Little bit tricky to fasten on my finger, but works well. What a relief. My mind can solve the "all the world problems",wonder off, and I still know what lap I am on.

i specifically ordered this instead of the one that also timed because I saw there were issues with some of those being on the wrong page when you get to the end of the length. I did not want to fiddle around and so I bought the bog simple version - one click, one lap, done!I need reading glasses and worried I wouldn't be able to read the display, but with my goggles on, (at least in sunlight) I have no problems reading the numbers even though I have trouble reading my digital wrist watch. We will see when I transition to the indoor pools, but the nice thing is that if you click, it registers the number, so as long as you remember to click, you'll get a proper count. It is so clear now, I think I will be fine.IF YOU DON'T LIKE RINGS OR ANYTHING ON YOUR FINGER:I didn't like the idea of having anything on my fingers to get in the way of my stroke, so I got some micro rubber bands and attached the band of the counter to the band of my wrist watch (at first I looped it thru the wrist band's retainer ring, so it looks as if my watch has a tiny watch sitting on the watch band) But the micro hair extension elastics work better, and since this watch is only used for swimming and exercise, I never take the counter off the band. (I will try to add a picture soon). Note, the counter's band is closed as if i were wearing it (coiled up), not flattened - flattening it might break it.A pity they don't sell these with a watch band or a way to attach properly to any watch band, I would definitely wear that. (Yes, I know there's a more expensive item in the form of a watch that does a bunch of other things, but i really wanted simple - and price was right). I find that I obsess less about forgetting what lap I am on and just concentrate on swimming. So I LOVE this thing.

I started swimming but needed something to help me track the laps. It is so easy! Ive used it for 2 months with NO issues. I am also walking laps and love how easy it is to keep track of my laps there too.Adjustable band so its easy to adjust for comfort.

It only lasted about 10 swims before it quit. I'd seen water in it before it quit. This has the potential to be a useful product but they didn't pull it off.Cons: it stopped working, it's hard to feel the counter button while swimming so can't really count laps accurately because you can't tell if you are pushing the button or not, can't see the numbers on the readout without stopping swimming because numbers small and light is weak.Pros: it stays on the finger quite well and the button is in a reachable spotThis could be very good product if it lasted longer and you could feel where the counter button was, and be better able to tell if you clicked it or not.

This is the second one of these I have had. The first there was a stripped screw which would not allow for me replacing the battery without breaking the waterproof seal. It works nicely and lets me swim without having to keep track of laps in my head. I like allowing my mind to focus on stroke technique and cadence instead. As long as the screw doesn’t strip on this one in the future I hope to have it for a while.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:because 70% of the reviews were 5 stars.Durability:appears very well made; button is firm when pressed so you don't accidently push it twice;Size:sizing is adjustable which is good for my arthritic fingersReadability: that's a tough one for me - I wear RX glasses and my goggles aren't RX, so it's difficult for me to accurately read the numbers. Today I swam 10 extra lengths because I thought it said 54 when it actually said 64 once I got my glasses on.

The finger strap is sturdy, comfortable to wear all day and I wash my hands many times a day after gardening with no apparent damage. It works as described. It does not loose count or accidentally reset. You have to perform a long press (3 second press) to reset it. The counter button is ergonomically positioned so it is perfect for my thumb to press it. I wear it on my proximal right index finger. It is easy to read.

*******Update to review. I had to have the battery replaced, and service was incredibly fast. I mailed it from Virginia to Maryland on a Monday and got it back Saturday of the same week.******* First, it's cool-looking. Second, it works great. Third, it fits well - my fingers are small, and the adjustable band is terrific. I was a little concerned about it coming loose in the water, but it stays nice and snug. Fourth, it is easy to read. I wear it on my index finger and the face of the timer faces me. Fifth, it is easy to operate - all I have to do it click it with the thumb of the same hand. You do have to click on it firmly to get it to register, which somehow feels satisfying. I would think it would be almost impossible to get the counter to move by accident. The only (very) minor gripe I have is that when you reset it, it takes like 10 seconds of pressing firmly on the button to get it back to zero. No big deal. I really love this counter and if this one wears out, I will definitely buy the exact same thing again.
