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 should give an update from my post in June. About two weeks into using the replacement poolmate, the watch became unusable. The LCD display would go blank about two laps into my swim and I could only get it to display briefly if I hit a button.
Two strikes means out in my book.
I will wait to see if the technology improves, but I will not go for another replacement . . .
Sorry you've had such bad luck with your watches. :badday: I know there is a warning about pushing the buttons while the watch is underwater. If you did, this could be your problem.
For what it's worth, I've not had any problems with either of my watches. Of course, I've only had my newer one for a couple of days, but so far so good. I used it in the pool on Monday and uploaded my workout to my PC. The free software that comes with the watch has some nice features.
