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.

For a stopwatch with a five year warranty mine only had about 10 monthsleft when I got it. Hard to believe this has been sitting on the shelffor four years. I got it for track which is just starting so I don'tknow how good it's going to be.

This is a perfectly good stopwatch - if all you want to do is note your finish time, or note 1/2 finish times. But, if you want to remember split times, you'd better have pen and paper handy. Once you restart the watch following a split, there is no way to cycle through and view the split times! So, if you're trying to time multiple swimmers/runners, or if you're trying to record 25/50 split times, this is not the watch for you. Again, no fault of the manufacturer or the reviews - I should have looked more closely at the functions.

My husband is a personal trainer and mentioned one day he would like to find a good stopwatch. My husband loves this stopwatch.

I wish there was some way to turn it off. The display stays on all the time and I'm sure the battery would last longer if it could be turned off or go into a sleep mode.Update: I have now had this stop watch for two years and it is still going strong. I find it very useful for sports activities and even just to keep time like a watch. Obviously battery life is not a big issue so I increased my rating to 5 stars.

The watch is performing as described - easy to set, easy to use and even fits well in my small hands. It is sturdy and reliable to-date.The packaging it comes in is a bear to get into, but if that's the worst thing that I can claim as a negative, I'm still doing well.

Not much you can elaborate on about a stopwatch, but this one does the job.Numbers are big, bold, and very clear to read; the bright yellow color really does stand out, as well.Very easy to use, and seems to be extremely durable.

Purchased for my husband to use while he trains. Per him, it's working great. Hopefully, we'll still be saying that months from now. If not I'll have to revise my review.

Bought this for some timed homework excersices and boy is it easier than using a regular watch. Cheap enough, and the kid loves it, times everything now.

This stop watch is easy to see since it has large numbers. You know the buttons are pushed since it has a firm click. It would have been nice if it had a light since I may go to the track at dusk, but I knew it didn't before I purchased it. For the price, this stop watch is worth it with or without a light since I didn't want to pay more than $20 for a stopwatch.

This is a great watch. It doesn't beep which is nice for testing situations and the buttons are nearly impossible to accidentally double click.

We bought one of these in blue and one in green to replace 2 cheaper stop watches. (The less expensive stop watches worked fine until they got wet so we were looking for something that was a little water resistant...) Besides being more water resistant this watch has a more substantial feel than the cheap watches (i.e. though smaller, it's a little heavier). It has a nice feel in your hand. The ability to catch 2 close finishes for the same event is also a really nice feature, though be aware that if you'll want to record the first time before viewing the second time because there is not a way to flip back and forth between them.We got a green one and a blue one. Both like the blue color better.

Overall, this is a very good product. It is easy to use and looks to be well made and reliable. I got it in yellow so it would stand out. I like the color. I bought it to time tasks on the computer, such how long it takes Windows to reboot (a calendar might be more appropriate), so I won't be timing any track meets. But now that I have it, I just might time the kids in the pool or on their bikes.As others have said, the buttons have a positive, tactile feedback, like a good keyboard. You will know for sure whether you pushed them. No accidental resets or failure to get the time. The display is large enough for almost anyone to read without glasses. It's not backlit, so you need enough ambient light, but this should normally be the case.I do have a few complaints. It uses a non-standard battery. By that I mean, not one that I normally stock (AAA or AA). The instructions claim that the battery will last 5 years. I don't know if a AA or AAA would be less durable. If I needed to depend on this for a meet, I would have a second battery on hand.The design of the back cover is not so good. It's held on by 6 small Phillips screws. This seems like a lot, but maybe that's to provide moisture resistance. Opening the cover is tricky and seems too likely to damage the button mechanism. They mounted part of the button mechanism on the inside top of the back cover. The three buttons have plastic tabs that extend down about 3/4 of an inch into this mechanism. It would be very easy to pull too hard on the top of the back cover and bend or break these tabs. When I started to remove it, it seemed stuck at the top, so I lifted the bottom first and it slid out. This is not mentioned in the instructions. A much better design would be to have the back cover only open over the bottom half where the battery is.The back cover must also be removed to remove or insert the lanyard. I would prefer a loop through which the lanyard could be threaded. I bet the moisture resistance is reduced, not to mention the threads in the case where the screws go, every time the back cover is removed.It does not have any sleep / power save function, so the LEDs are visible all the time. I don't know if this shortens battery life much.The instructions are minimal -- just a piece of cardboard that doubles as the product label.On the side panel, it says "Save Storage Case" and it shows a picture of a little case partway open. My watch did not come with a case and there is no way to reuse the plastic packaging bubble as a case.I would suggest that they add a couple of solar cells. I have a cheap calculator from Office Depot that has four small (1" by .25") solar cells. I believe there is also a battery, but the case does not even open to replace it. I have had it 10-12 years and it is still working.This stopwatch is not perfect, but it's pretty good.

One thing only mentioned briefly in the description - this watch does NOT make a beeping noise when you hit the buttons. It makes a sort of dull click. For those of us looking to use a stopwatch in a quiet environment and an unobtrusive way (I'm a stage manager) this is FANTASTIC.*Edit - after 8 months of use the clock on the stopwatch is unreliable. I have had to reset it about once every two months - it very slowly gets fast.

The Pro Survivor is somewhat better than the survivor because it offers extra shock resistance; more water resistance; no fail switches and an extra large display. The XL display was important for me. The watch is simple. It measures minutes, seconds and 1/100 seconds up to 40 minutes, then it only measures hours, minutes and seconds. The time and date features were not important to me. It has a five year warranty without proof of purchase.

Good productWish it would hold the split time for later reviewOtherwise doew a good jobLarge numbers good for older eyes

I used this Accusplit Pro Survivor stopwatch for much of the track season (coaching Jr. High track). The ease of use was excellent. I really liked the tactal feedback of the buttons -- no doubt when they are pushed. The buttons are warranted for 5 years, and the device is "date coded" so that no receipt is neccessary if you do need to get it fixed.The display is easy to read, even for my old eyes.
