I purchased this stopwatch for use while on safety patrols with the Coast Guard Auxiliary. We have to time legs for navigation and search patterns for our Search and Rescue mission. Also, since we are not allowed to wear wrist watches or any other jewelry while on patrols for safety reasons, and due to the vibrations and motion of our boats, especially in rough waters, making hard to read a watch, I find that the large numerical display and simplicity of the function buttons, make it a very useful tool for our patrols. Plus with the lanyard I can hang it around my neck and tuck into my life vest.The only negative was that it took me a while to figure out how to set the time due to lack of instructions and that it is not intuitive.
