Zoggs Lap-Pro Designed With Swimmers In Mind
By Andrew Liszewski
“Designed by swimmers for swimmers” is one of the the taglines the company Zoggs has been using to describe their new Lap-Pro watch which is mainly targeted at those who swim competitively. The Lap-Pro features a ‘tap-pad’ watch face which allows a swimmer to record lap times simply by tapping anywhere on the screen.
While most sport watches do include a stopwatch function they usually rely on rather small buttons for starting, stopping and marking lap times which is not a problem for someone just standing there specifically timing an event. But after swimming a lap as fast as you can underwater it’s probably a little difficult to hit the right button and this is why the ‘tap-pad’ interface was developed. After the race the watch can also provide the swimmer with a full summary of each lap including times, speed and an overall average. Oh, and it’s also water-resistant to a depth of 50 meters.
The Zoggs Lap-Pro is currently available in both mens and womens sizes for just under $60.
