Here's what I do
Provided your watch is like most watches, it will allow you to linger in the set alarm mode for 60 seconds before timing out. Also, the advance-minute-button is easy to memorize and easy to reach as you push off the wall on your turns. Since you advance every length, and your lengths are faster than 60 seconds, you never timeout, and your count is preserved.
As long as you can do a LENGTH in 60 seconds, your golden. There is an added benefit of a parity-bit. You should always be able to tell based on which side of the pool you are on whether the count should be odd or even. This means you can know if you forgot a length by simply verifying the odd/even. Obviously it rolls every 60 lengths, but it should be obvious what "60" you are on based upon the hour hand.
To try it out, grab a cheap watch and try it at your dinning room table. You will know pretty quick if it will work or not. If not, take it back for another.
I'm using something from Target called Armitron, fwiw.
