Anyone seen this watch in action? Apparently, it can count your strokes and your laps.

I searched the forums but didn't see any threads on this watch.
(No, I'm not a dealer and no I'm not getting kick-backs.)

I own a "Pool-Mate". It works as advertised, recording lengths, time, and strokes. You can set the pool length to any number greater than 10.
It only counts strokes of one hand, i.e., the count is only accurate for *** or fly. For free, you have to double the number and might still be one stroke off. No biggie for me, though.
What I don't like is that the "Pool-Mate" looks cheap and too feminine for my taste. Someone called it "huge". It is not; "tiny" and "flimsy" come to mind. ;)
It's worth the money, though, if you can get over the ugliness. I just hope that one day they change the design to make it look more like a current sports watch for men rather than a ladies' watch from the late 70's or early 80's.
