LapCounter - Digital Counter for Tracking Swim or Running Laps - Not a Timer, Only Counts

As an elder whose brain seems unable to reliably count and remember my place in a sequence, this lap counter is a god send. It is reliable, impervious to weather and apparently falls to hard flooring. Mostly, my spouse and I do not have to count out loud to help each other remember which lap we are on during in door walks or how many sit to stands I have completed. For me, a must have.

i specifically ordered this instead of the one that also timed because I saw there were issues with some of those being on the wrong page when you get to the end of the length. I did not want to fiddle around and so I bought the bog simple version - one click, one lap, done! I need reading glasses and worried I wouldn't be able to read the display, but with my goggles on, (at least in sunlight) I have no problems reading the numbers even though I have trouble reading my digital wrist watch. We will see when I transition to the indoor pools, but the nice thing is that if you click, it registers the number, so as long as you remember to click, you'll get a proper count. It is so clear now, I think I will be fine. IF YOU DON'T LIKE RINGS OR ANYTHING ON YOUR FINGER: I didn't like the idea of having anything on my fingers to get in the way of my stroke, so I got some micro rubber bands and attached the band of the counter to the band of my wrist watch (at first I looped it thru the wrist band's retainer ring, so it looks as if my watch has a tiny watch sitting on the watch band) But the micro hair extension elastics work better, and since this watch is only used for swimming and exercise, I never take the counter off the band. (I will try to add a picture soon). Note, the counter's band is closed as if i were wearing it (coiled up), not flattened - flattening it might break it. A pity they don't sell these with a watch band or a way to attach properly to any watch band, I would definitely wear that. (Yes, I know there's a more expensive item in the form of a watch that does a bunch of other things, but i really wanted simple - and price was right). I find that I obsess less about forgetting what lap I am on and just concentrate on swimming. So I LOVE this thing.

Simple tool. Kind of pricey but these last forever and do the job through repeated use. I only replace them when o lose them.

Works well but you need to figure out how to place it and where to place it on which hand and finger and then press it carefully so it does count lap but not give you credit for two.

First of all this thing mis clicks. Like at least 3 out of 20 clicks don't register. The screen is totally non visible after just the slightest of lense fog in your goggles. It's oddly expensive for not even having a back lit screen. At the very least it does seem prettyy waterproof. I've had it in the pool many times now and it still turns on. But even half serious swimmers should look elsewhere for a lap counter.

I use this to keep track of my laps when I'm swimming in the pool. I always get confused as to how many laps I've swam. I can't make out the display when looking through my googles, but I'm also 58 years old and need glasses to read. When I lift up my googles, I can see the display fine. I've never trusted it, but it has never let me down. I wear it on my forefinger and keep my fingers together when I swim, so I've never had problem with it falling off (a fear I had). It's band is adjustable, and I wear it pretty tight on my finger. I increment it by pushing the little button under the display with the thumb on the same hand that I wear it on. There is a little click I can feel that lets me know it has incremented. I swim a lap, pause, click it, and then off to the next lap. It works fine. When not using it for a while, it turns off, and then when I use it again (two days later) I push it once and it lights up with the last lap count. It lets me know how many laps I swam last time, and then I try to increase my swimming by a lap or two. If you hold the button down for about two seconds, it resets the counter back to zero. I'm very pleased with my purchase. It works fine. If I lose it, then I would buy it again. I can sing songs and think about daily problems when I'm swimnning now, and I don't have to try to remember how many laps I've swam.

This is just what I was looking for to count swim laps. Exceeded my expectations. I wear it on my first finger, small & easy to use.

I have an Apple watch which I use when I swim that tracks my overall performance (over all time, calories, total laps and lap times). However, while swimming it is not very easy to track where you are in your swim. You have to stop swimming and shake your arm to get it to light up and see where you are. The SC Sportcount is reasonably easy to see at any time without slowing you down to figure out where you are in your swim. I swim anywhere from 100 - 200 24 yard laps and it has gotten so that I am so use to having it on my finger when I swim that I immediately feel something is wrong when I forget to put it on. I also find it very easy to use. I mistakenly put my first purchase in the washer and ruined it and bought a second one. As these things go, it is not super cheap, but for how much I use it it is definitely worth it for me.

Works exactly like I expected. A great counter.

泳いでる最中の何往復目か考える必要がないだけでストレスは減りました。 安くはありませんが価値ある商品です。

Whilst the price seemed very high compared to my previous one, comfortable and easy to use.

J'ai beaucoup hésité avant de commander ce produit car j'ai trouvé que le prix demandé était très élevé eu égard à ce que c'est ( sur les photos on dirait un gadget chinois à deux euros) et puis j'ai fini par le commander par ce que j'en avais marre de devoir penser en permanence au nombre de longueurs que je faisais pour ne pas en oublier... et bien je suis absolument ravi. Les matériaux sont d'excellente qualité, la finition et les assemblages aussi. On a vraiment pas l'impression d'avoir un objet cheap dans les mains. la taille parfaite et le système d'attache est très bien pensé. On peut régler facilement le serrage pour que ça ne compresse pas le doigt mais que ça tienne tout de même très bien. une fois qu'il est en place, aucun risque qu'il se détache du doigt et qu'il tombe au fond de l'eau. Le dessous de la montre est fait en plastique transparent de haute qualité et très lisse et le bracelet est fait en caoutchouc qui n'irrite ni ne chauffe pas la peau. La notice indique qu'on peut changer la pile. Pour cela il y a quatre petites vis à enlever. Le mode de fonctionnement est d'une simplicité enfantine : pression longue pour réinitialiser, une pression pour compter une longueur. le système s'éteint tout seul au bout de 30 minutes et peut-être rallumé d'une pression sur le bouton. à son réveil, le compteur affiche le dernier décompte. Je suis bien content de ne pas avoir pris la version avec chronomètre car un outil de ce type doit rester très simple. Bref, vous l'aurez compris, si vous hésitez à cause du prix n'oubliez pas que c'est le seul petit appareil du marché qui fasse à la perfection ce pourquoi il a été conçu : compter les longueurs sans que son utilisation ne soit une contrainte.

Does what it says in a great way
