I used to swim a lot in 25m pools, but decades later, counter-current swimming in a short pool against jets is completely new to me. At first I counted strokes to know how far I was into my on-the-spot swim. But who wants to focus on counting strokes when the fun is focusing on technique and drills? I wanted something super-simple to keep track of time for me. I looked at various options (including waterproof watches and exercise trackers) but the SC Sportcount was the “aha!”. It does exactly what I want. Super easy to use, inexpensive and effective. Every swim is back to being a fun challenge rather than a counting chore. 🙂

I know it’s not the intended use, but I use it as a backup timer to my dive computer since I’m used to diving off tables and wanted an extra layer of reliability. I have taken this timer down as deep as ~70′ (~21m) several times in sometimes silty salt water and it has worked flawlessly. Its time matched my computer with enough accuracy for me to be reasonably sure it’s reliable. Nine hours so far and it still functions.
Anytime I see “water resistant” I don’t trust the depth attached to it, but this timer may actually be close. I have some deeper dives planned and will update this with the results when I get around to it. I can’t get it down to 50m, but perhaps 132’/ 40m sometime this year.

Great product, the only problem is that I can’t see the digits because my goggles are foggy so I’ll need to buy an anti-fog spray as well

I’ve had this on my Jetski for over a year now. Battery is still working fine.
I use this to time how long I have left on a fuel tank and does the job perfect.

I thought something called sport count would count laps! That’s all I really wanted. My other device very similar to this, counted my laps and also timed them. I can’t believe anyone would make something like this that does not count laps!!! Unfortunately I am past the window of return because I did not use it right away.

Keine Lap Counter Funktion bei der “gelben” Version dieses SportCount Produkts!
Steht aber fett im Titel!

This is a great timer for intense, solo exercise – sprints, laps in the pool, the sort of thing where the inconvenience of holding a typical stopwatch is significant. I use it for sprinting so I don’t have to hold a stopwatch in my hand while I go – just one less thing to think about when moving at my limit. It is good for this – the button has a nice, solid click to it, it is about as easy to access as possible, the display is small but very clear, the operation is simple – nothing extraneous to complicate things, nothing to think about at all.
The strap is stretchy silicone (I believe) and fits my hand quite comfortably. I – adult male, 5’10”, slightly smaller than average hands – wear it on my index finger, which is about 2.75″ (~70mm) in circumference at the base.
Only comment/complaint would be that this is not great for running any sort of distance in the heat, as it does not breath and my finger gets very hot underneath it. Making the strap vented via small holes may be nice, but may not be worth the trouble.
Also, maybe it would be nice if it had a backlight – I’m not sure it really makes that much of a difference.
Also, pay close attention to the exact model you are getting – the colors are not just a matter of aesthetics, but are associated with models which have different functionality. I purchased the Yellow model, which specifically acts as a stopwatch, not a lap counter, since I’m only doing a small series of single runs.
Anyway, would recommend it for the purposes described above. Basically I had the thought of “man, it’d be great if someone made a basic stopwatch that just fit onto your finger” and then found this within about 30 seconds of searching. Good idea, well executed.
EDIT: One odd feature is that this timer doesn’t have the ability to pause timing – only start and reset. Not a major issue for my use, but notable for people who go on longer runs and might pause at crosswalks, for example.

プールでのタイム計測で親指でスタート&ストップが簡単にできるところがとても良い

L’anello è comodo e si gestisce tutto con un solo bottone. Per il nuoto suggerisco la versione rossa: quella cronometro e contavasche. Ti permette, oltre a tenere il numero, di visualizzare i tempi di ciascuna vasca più la media, la vasca più veloce, la più lenta e il tempo totale.

I’m a very high-level Masters swimmer and I have been using the SportCount for a number of years now. I have both the yellow version and the Race-Pace (light blue) version. If used it to track thousands of splits over that time and has completely changed how I train. Being able to track the time for every interval in a set provides a level of detail I never had before when I just looked at a clock. Being able to see my pacing provides a level of motivation during my workouts that I have experienced. I am able to have absolute confidence in the splits to help track progress during a workout as well as across workouts. For my personal style of training, the light blue Race/Pace model is ideal but I have the yellow for backup and for specific sets. I hope they never stop making this product.

Very satisfied with this timer. Stays securely fastened during long swims. Is easy to start and stop while in the pool swimming a set. Only thing to note is that it does not pause so once you’ve stopped the timer if you click it again it will reset. Overall very happy with product and would recommend to enhance a workout while swimming laps.
