I am considerig getting one of these SportCount finger timers. The thing that worries me is the size. I already hate wearing a watch and if there was some kind of system I could use to by pass this I would. Here is an idea for any invetor out there. Make a little touch sensitive pad that would do some basic functions like laps, etc. Then when you are swimming you could just touch it as you come around.

The other thing that REALLY bugs me is when I requested an image from the company look what they sent me (last image)! This image is either using a funny angle or it has been Photoshopped.  I found this other picture and you can see it actually is quite large. With all the amazing technology out there why can’t someone make a very small finger watch? Well I think I’ll buy it anyway and if it turns out to be a skunk you’ll hear about it.
