I tied Harry's a few years back and could only get it to register laps about half the time. it had issues with the start/finish line. maybe it has gotten better since then.

It's dependent on your hardware, lots of people use Harry's with great success. Add a 10hz gps unit and you can get really accurate laps and lots of useful data.
