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'll be interested to hear how the lap counter works in practice. I'm assuming it's looking for a pause of some duration in your strokes and picks that up as a turn (and, thus, the start of a new lap). Maybe v2.0 of the watch will have GPS built in. That would be cool because it could then be used for open water swims, too. Add in some way to interface with a PC and you could upload your swims to something like Google Maps or Earth.
