I am looking for an underwater lap counter/timer. What are your suggestions? What features are most important to you? What has been your experiences with lap counters?

  • What kind of times do you like using?(Split and lap times, total times, best lap, ect..) Would you like to see them all on the same display? At the same time? My ideal personal pace clock would have the following features: + Exactly four digits, mm:ss. Minutes and seconds. That's all. + People who wear glasses can't use them in the pool. Goggles get foggy, etc., so the digits would be HUGE, maybe 4" high or more (see this clock, unfortunately not waterproof). Huge, and high contrast. Easy to see. Mucho easy to see. + Exactly one operating mode. You turn the clock on and it counts up from 00:00 to 59:59, then wraps around. You turn the clock off, it goes off. Nothing any fancier than that. + Simplest possible feature set = Squeeze as much cost out as possible. MSRP is $59.95 or less. + A built-in stand (maybe it's just a bit wider on the bottom), so I could sit it upright at the end of the lane or by the side of the pool. I'd also sometimes like to put it on the bottom of the pool. + Battery operated. Waterproof, of course. + Small enough to easily fit in a swim bag. That does not have to be terribly small (see this clock, unfortunately not waterproof). A pair of my size 12 shoes easily fit in a swim bag. + Tough as nails. Can stand being moved around a lot, tossed in a swim bag, tossed around, kicked over by a kid. It's not supposed to break.
