anyone who's not a swimmer, I believe they can count as well, and they probably don't care TOO much exactly how many laps they swam.]]>Jul 1st 2009 9:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/
Getting statistics out of exercise is quite the motivational driver (see http://www.wired.com/medtech/health/magazine/17-07/lbnp_nike for quite a good article)

Now only if this could sync with my iPod I leave in the changing rooms.]]>Jul 2nd 2009 3:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/Jul 2nd 2009 7:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/
Picked up a Garmin 405 GPS watch and I can tell you its great! I have been able to track my progress very easily.

This doesn't look like it's as advanced as the Garmin running watch. The Garmin downloads to the computer and I can look at the progress over time. Hopefully this thing would do the same. Maybe I'll get into Triathlons next!

Not for everybody product..but def a good niche product. I swim about 10-15 laps once or twice a week but almost always loose track of counting. (and NEVER know any times for my laps). ]]>Jul 2nd 2009 9:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/Jul 1st 2009 9:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/Jul 1st 2009 10:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/Jul 1st 2009 10:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/Jul 1st 2009 10:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/Jul 1st 2009 10:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/Jul 1st 2009 10:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/Jul 1st 2009 11:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/
Although I was interested in the watch, this demo has totally turned me off. I can't imagine what possessed the watch manufacturer to authorise such a low grade ad such as this.]]>Jul 1st 2009 11:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/did you expect it to turn you on? ]]>Jul 2nd 2009 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/Jul 1st 2009 11:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/Jul 14th 2009 11:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pool-mate-watch-packs-built-in-accelerometer-to-track-laps/Dec 3rd 2009 9:52PM
