I use this for timing speeches in my public speaking class. It is incredibly easy to run and the readout is large and clear. It is durable so when my students take turns being the time keeper, it doesn't matter if the stopwatch falls on the floor or gets banged around. For my needs, this fits the bill.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
