REVIEW

Anyone working out on an indoor track will find a counter helpful. At 12 laps a mile, counting laps is difficult. Counting is easy; remembering how many laps I've done is hard.

The Sportline counter fixes what my math teacher could not, allowing me to turn my mental energies toward my workout, or toward a conversation with my running partner.

Necessary on a Practical Level
I tried a system of using my fingers on my right hand to measure laps 1-5, then using my left hand to measure how many laps in groups of five. That is, two fingers on my left and three fingers on my right would equal 13 laps. It sounds easier to employ than it actually is.

The Sportline counter has five worthwhile features:

• It counts one per click, up to 9,999. I won't run more than that, so, for me, it is plenty.
• The display is legible while running. The white digits are large, on a black background.
• The size of the device is small enough to carry.
• The finger loop fits nicely in my middle finger.
• The reset dial quickly zeroes out the counter.

The only two drawbacks are

• The reset dial would be more comfortably located on the left, not the right side of the counter, or otherwise better engineered for right-handed users.
• The weight is heavy. It is small, but can feel like baggage during a longer workout.

The Sportline counter is sturdy, does as advertised, and serves well as a tool for anyone walking or running a lot of laps.
