Will it automatically count laps while you swim so you do not have to remember to hit the lap button each time?

I think it records laps swum as every now and then when I look at the watch it has changed its read out, but it does record how far you have swum, how long the swim was in time and how many calories that you have burnt during the swim.

Hello C. Day, I have used this GPS watch only once for swimming. I looked at my watch right now: It's awesome. You can enter the pool seize, you can enter goals (distance, time, calories), you can choose interval training (warm-up, work, rest, number of sets, cool down), you can choose lapes (by time and distance). You can set the watch display to show two of the following: duration, distance, lengths, swolf, strokes, and calories. I hope this feedback helps.

Yes, it counts laps and multiplies by the pool size (which you enter) to calculate total distance. It works well for me, maybe misses 1 turn out of 60. It helps to wear the watch on your "strong" arm that you lead with after a turn, and also to add a bit of emphasis on the first stroke after a turn.

it counts, but not accurately. And there is no way to edit the info on TomTom's MySport website or apps. I sync with RunKeeper which does allow me to edit the distance, but since TomTom only transfers the most basic of information from the watch, prepare to bust out your maths

Yes, every time to push you can see how many laps you have done. It is a great simple manual counter with low functionality, if you need programs, automatic counting or more this is not for you but then you have to pay a lot more....it is good value.

It does not work well for me when counting laps. Hoping it is a software thing, tomtom has claimed they have an update in the work/soon though, so keeping fingers crossed.

The timer works as a clock that starts when you push the button. It then keeps track of how many times you push it. In swimming a lap, you push it at the end of each lap. It records the time for each lap and the number of laps. It will only tell you when two minutes is up if you watch it. It depends on what your PT is to know if you can wach it.

Yes, it also counts your bumps while driving in a car. It has a 3 D sensing system that picks up your movement. I have also found it counting my pedaling strokes when riding my bike. It's great!

No, it has to be manually chosen, but you can leave It on the mph screen and it will not reset when the car is turned off

It's very simple, it is just a series of plastic cards mounted on a board, as a swimmer is approaching the wall, the person counting laps flips the number to the correct lap number and suspends it so the swimmer can read it. It is two digits, so it can go up to 99, and there are two fluorescent red flaps used to signal the last lap of the race. This is the standard counter everyone uses in distance freestyle swimming races, like the 500, 1,000 and 1,650 yard free, or the 800 and 1,500 meter free.

When you are not tracking an activity, it is like a wrist watch with just the time showing -- it does not use much of the battery for this. I track my runs and swims 3-4 times during the week, and recharge the watch after each use. When I am ready to track the next activity it has always been at 100%.

Yes it has both, the timer and the chrono. I use the timer just like a reminder (so I know if I swimming or running quikly enough) but the timer didn't storage the lap until I do it so to the chrono. For me have been fantastic using this Garmin

It times your excersise session. In fact, you need to use the timer to take advantage of the calorie counting feature. It also does lap times.

No, which is a big negative. To "upload" data (like say the distance, speed and pulse of laps), you must scroll through and write down or remember the lap data. It is a great basic pre-garmin or other GPS computer. But doesn't compare to having a garmin.

nope -- this is for lap counting -- so like you are swimming laps and you want to swim 62 laps -- those are hard to keep up with -- this counter is excellent --- each time you reach a wall you push the button on the front and it counts "one" -- then "two" --- and on and on till you finish -- cannot see how this is helpful in running unless you want to count laps

Short answer: yes.Long answer: when you begin your work out, you hit a start/stop button. This starts a timer and begins keeping track of the various other things: calories, avg hr, etc. If you don't start the timer, you don't get those things tracked.It also has a lap button, to help with tracking pace, if you're a runner, swimmer or cyclist. I don't use that feature myself, so can't speak to it.

dont know technical of it. but I would say no. off/auto means its off until automatically activated in the water.

Yes, if you do not need to measure increments of less than one second. If it is set on 0 and you push start it will count upwards till you stop it.

Hi there, you will have to pause the timer every time you rest otherwise it will add your rest time to one of your laps. It's pretty easy to pause and start it by pressing the pause button (lower right button) whenever you rest.

Yea, beeps on all key pressesIncrement/decrement in .1 mph incrementsIf you restart within 20mins of stopping it will remember your stats. After 20 mins it all resets and assumes you are finished rather than taking a break.
