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.)

Thanks for your input Debaru, I am a techno geek and love this kind of stuff and am dissapointed that it did not work out.
Being a tech guy, I am one of those strange people that actually read manuals thoroughly and saw the warnings about being very careful not to use the buttons under water. I was VERY careful not to do that.
I have seen similar reactions in other LCD displays when exposed to direct sunlight. My 2008 Kawasaki Concours has an LCD display that is fully exposed to the sun and sometimes it has difficulty, albeit, the problem only appears on rare ocassion.
If I see enough good reports on this item, I am likely to roll the dice again, but would be more comfortable if a more established company offered something like this (e.g., Timex and the like).
Your results may differ (hopefully!).
