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.)

Here's an update, prompted by my first open-water swim with the PoolMate watch.
Even though the instructions claim the watch "will not work in Open Water", it did great at counting my strokes. It was able to tell me that I took 812 strokes out, and 898 strokes back for my loop in the local lake yesterday.
It can't count laps, of course (and detected a few phantom laps), so it can't give pace or swim golf info. But all I was after was a stroke count, and that seems to be quite accurate.
