Digital Stopwatch - No Bells, No Whistles, Simple Basic Operation, Silent, Clear Display, ON/Off, Child Friendly, AAA Batteries (Included), Black

If what you want - if what you REALLY want - is a stopwatch, then you've finally found one. I returned three, count 'em three previous pretenders to this throne: 2 of these were Casio multi-function wristwatches with stopwatch modes, and the third was a pricey multi-function "dedicated" stopwatch because (a) all 3 had defects, (b) all 3 had "instructions" written in a strange English-like language that was really just techno-babble, and (3) all of them were insanely complex, and packed with bells and whistles that were both unnecessary, and also impossible to control because the "instructions" were mainly incomprehensible, and those instructions that were comprehensible mainly didn't work. As last, this one is a real, working stopwatch. That's all I wanted, and that's all it is. Here's what I know so far: They delivered it overnight (I paid $2.99 extra for early delivery, and it got here before 11 AM). It's a stopwatch: I have already confirmed that it starts, it stops and it resets. Do you think that's a small thing? Then why do you think I had to return the previous 3 watches? This one, at long last, does what I need done, and, praise the LORD, it works. No bells and whistles, which I regard as at least a blessing; maybe -- after my previous 3 flops -- maybe it's actually a privilege. As advertised, it takes AAA batteries, so no more wrestling with microscopic screws, or visits to the watch store for a button battery change. Only one question remains: How long w ill it last? ALL of these inexpensive watches are reported to sometimes die young, but only by a minority of reviewers, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

It is easy to use and works well.

Had a stop watch for years. Lots of features I never used and didn't want, that made it more difficult to use. It quit for good maybe a year ago. Searching for a replacement I used "simple stop watch". This was #2 in the results. An off/on button. A start/stop button. A reset button. Perfect. Simple.

I should start off by saying it literally took less than 24 hours for the digital stopwatch to be delivered to me! I bought another one because the last one I bought I decided to use as a back up after about 7 years of constant usage.This is a really good stop watch that even includes the batteries in the purchase. While it is a really good stop watch it does have one problem: The back cover easily will fall off and if this happens the watch basically will not work. I solved this problem by putting a piece of duct tape over the battery cover. This problem could be solved by putting a screw in to hold the battery cover to prevent the cover from falling off. I should also add that I keep this stop watch in my car all year round the heat and/or cold weather does not keep it from working and as long as you put a piece of duct tape (or something similiar) over the cover to keep it from falling off you should have many, many years of great use.Summary: Price and performance. Hard to beat that combination. Easy to use Stopwatch with an on/off switch to save battery life. Just remember to put a small piece of duct tape over the battery cover to keep it from falling off. I took one star off for this problem. All in all though this is as good a stop watch as you can buy and its pretty inexpensive too.

Basic stopwatch. Start, stop, reset functions. Perfect for timing my physical therapy walking sessions. Fits comfortably in my hand. Travelwey responded promptly to questions. .

The stopwatch works very well and it keeps excellent time. I tested it against a clock running on the atomic clock and it turns out dead on by my observations. The easy to read part doesn't work so well in low light conditions. Still, one can read it well enough. I like that it doesn't have a dozen functions that I would never use.The only significant problem is how hair trigger the start -- stop button is. As I am riding along the watch may start to swing back and forth as I hang it from my neck. IF the swing causes the stop -- start button to hit something, NO MATTER HOW SLIGHTLY, the watch stops. I often do not notice the watch has stopped and that simply kills the ability of the unit to keep time. IMO, the stop -- start button needs to be a lot harder to start or stop; that is, more of a push should be required to stop or start the watch. This one small flaw makes me constantly check to see if the watch is still running. Very frustrating. I have tried putting it in my shirt pocket, but even then I am afraid the thing might stop as I put it in and I wouldn't know it. Too bad they can't put in a loud ticking sound! Ha.AD2

This stopwatch is a great tool for our students to use to time themselves on the ACT test. As an academic coordinator, I ordered several different stopwatches to try out. This was the only silent one I could find. Students can take stopwatches into the ACT exam, but it can't make noise, or they will be dismissed from testing. This stopwatch is silent and easy to use, plus it uses regular (AAA) batteries. There's an on/off button, a reset button, and a start/stop button. So easy to use. We train our high school students on how to use for the exam, and they always make sure they have one. This stopwatch has been an excellent resource for our program. If you need a simple, easy-to-use, and SILENT stopwatch, this is it!

I use this while teaching a weekend MSF class - recording students during the final test (motorcycle class) it will randomly - every 6 to 10 times, it will stop at 1.96 seconds. I've been doing this long enough to know the students are traveling fast enough that they should be getting scored in the .8 to 1.0 range - stop watch not worth the money - and I have had it too long to return. Throwing it away.(I know it is not me clicking wrong - it is always buggered up at 1.96. Not 1.97, not 1.98, but always 1.96. Really weird)
