BLUF - It has one job. Keep time for a single event. No splits, no multi-lanes, no cumes. It delivers in spades. Starting and stopping, the button gives tactile feedback with the near-silent click of a well-designed, solidly-seated button. No squeaks or rocking back and forth. This is close to an analog stopwatch's familiar mechanical click start/stop as you're going to get in a digital stopwatch. The familiar 8-segment LCD is used for the minutes, seconds and 1/100th seconds. Large and easily readable - 15mm tall, 5mm wide. (Roughly the size of a 72-point Helvetica letter f on a laptop screen) CAVEAT EMPTOR: otal time according to the package is 10 hours. In reality it displays up to 9:59:59.99 before it rolls back to 00:00:00. That's fine. I'll give Accusplit the 1/100th of a second based on the rest of this stop watch's pluses. The orangutan-like hand holding the stopwatch in the pic above not withstanding, it's a perfect size and weight, and isn't covered in co-molded rubber/soft-touch paint. At at 59:58:99, the hour rolls to a small (3mm) Arabic numeral in the upper lefthand corner of the display. This is perfectly fine for me and likely most of you. If I had one wish for this lovely, a glowing/backlight display would make this useable on a dark film set. But its lack of lighting isn't even enough for me to deduct a fraction of a star.Net net: This is the one you're looking for. Buy it and move on to more important things.
