Hey, I just stumbled across an interesting swimming product. A watch-lap counter that can tell when you've finished a lap. You don't have to push a button to signal the completion of a lap. It uses accelerometers to detect several regular strokes that tell it you are swimming, then a couple second interruption of that regular movement that tells it you are turning between laps. Reviews say it works. Also reports seconds/lap, strokes/lap, calories expended, distance, etc. (when you enter info like pool length and weight). And the usual watch functions too. Swimovate. No connection, I'm not planning to buy one unless I become a serious swimmer, but thought it was cool. The watch itself could be a bit more stylish and streamlined.
