Does this counter automatically count laps or do you push a button for each lap?

You push the button for each lap. It's easy, though, to do it with your thumb. Just takes a second.

You push a button. It is the oval bump below the readout numbers that you see in the picture. I wear the counter on my pointer finger, and push the button with my thumb without having to stop swimming.

You need to press the button each time you complete a lap--but it's easy to do. You wear the counter as a ring on your index finger and then just press it when you get to the wall at the end of the lap.

I just put my oldies on it and swim for an hour. It does not have a counter for the number of laps. It is waterproof and inexpensive and I really have used it everytime I swim. 3 times a week. Also the battery lasts for a long time, between recharge.

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.

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.

Ninety-nine intervals and then you have to hit the start button again....I used it on Sunday for a half marathon to keep track of my run/walks...

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.

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.

It will not count your steps, like regular pedometers. You could use it to count laps while walking. You manually count the laps. I thought this counter had a timer as well as a lap counter. It doesn't. I misread the description. I since purchased another lap counter that has a timer. I use a regular pedometer to count my steps.

Sort of. I have mine set to show average pace total elapsed time and total distance. However, you can have it set to show speed , current pace average pace or lap depending on what information you want to see.

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.

It counts laps and times laps but does not count strokes. You click a button at the end of each lap and also tallies total swimming time. It has worked great for me and this is my 2nd swimming and its going strong.

nope. This doesn't do time ie. is not a stop watch. It only counts "times of something/laps".

It counts forwards, not backwards, so if you are looking at the timer you can see when it gets to 2 minutes, but you can't set it to two minutes and have it beep or something when time is up. It can definitely count the number of sessions, but not two-minute sessions. You would just hit the button every time you finish a session and you'd have a log of how many sessions and how much total time elapsed, average time per session, shortest session, and longest session.

Yes, count to 2 and it's on. Not a problem once you get used to it. Good unit.

Yes it does count up. Just press the START half of the stop/start button. It also allows you to stop, and then resume from that time forward by pressing the Start again. Its a handy stopwatch tool.

You have to continually push the button, it is not automatic, I love this machine, I use it as a blender and it is the best I have ever had.

Press the "M" and "S" simultaneously to zero out the time. Then hit the "start" button to count up. Not intuitive! :)
