I use it 5 times a week.  change the batteries every 2 weeks.  It has a small 'curve' to understand how to use the functions, but once you know what it does and how to do it there isn't much more to it.  I love not having to count laps in my head.  gives me time to think while i swim.

This device was a real blessing to me, as I increased my lap count to a point where I had trouble keeping track. I wish the numbers were a little bit larger, for those of us swimmers over 50. I agree with the other reviewer that there should be an on/off switch, so it doesn't keep beeping when your workout bag gets bumped. Those who buy it should know that the suction cups don't really work on the side of most pools. It's better to use the anchor that goes over the top of the wall, and fill the bag that comes with it with water to hold it in place. Other than those things, I highly recommend it!

I agree with most of the reviews I read before I purchased the lap counter. Once you get it set up the way you need, it dose function well. But, the soft ware is not easy to use. The instructions are not easy to apply to the software in the unit. Once over that it was just what I wanted. I would recommend this product to those who are good at navigating software, love to swim laps and have a hard time counting the laps.

The numbers are hard to read.  The unit does not stay on the side of our average outdoor swimming pool.  Any waves and it floats off.  Suction will not adhere to the rough tile.

Frankly, this is one of the best gizmos I've ever bought.  It allows me to keep track of the laps, while I concentrate on the intervals or the tempo.  Incidentally, the Lap Track can count over 50 laps.

All I needed was something to count my laps. I don't really understand what lots of the functions are on this, and the instructions are very small and not that easy to follow. I wish it had an on/off switch as it keeps beeping when it's in my gym bag.
