Silent Digital Stopwatch Timer for Teachers, Coaches & Kids ‒ Simple Lap Timer, Large Display, No Alarm ‒ Classroom, Exams, Sports, Running & Swimming ‒ AAA Batteries Included

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.

I wear it around my neck to time my daily walks around the neighborhood. The stop start button works well as I stop to talk to neighbors (and their dogs).

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.

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!

Great stopwatch. Performs all the main functions you would look for in a stop watch. I purchased this watch because I wanted to be able to do timed sprints during my walks and did not want to fumble around with my phone. This works great because the string is long enough to comfortably fit around my neck without being too long or short. The digital time has a large easy to read display and the buttons are big enough and positioned in just the right spot for ease of use. Besides just being a stopwatch, it also tells regular time as well as offers an alarm, but I have not used that feature. The material its made of is pretty durable since I've dropped it a couple of times with no issues. Not even a crack or a scratch. Great stop watch at a great price. Recommended.

After receiving this I immediately tried it out, trying to get as close to 1.00 seconds as possible. Strangely, I would keep getting 0.96, 0.80, or sometimes 1.12. It turns out this only ever reports a multiple of 0.16 seconds! This makes it useless even for measuring to the nearest 1/10 of a second -- if the watch first rounds to the nearest 0.16, then you round that to the nearest 0.10, it's statistically invalid. Why didn't they just make it count out by 0.10? Even worse, it looks like they try to cover it up by flashing random digits in the hundredths place, including odd digits! Then when you press stop, it shifts to a multiple of 0.16. This both false advertising (implying that it measures 1/100 seconds), plus the worst engineering design I've ever seen ... it doesn't even make sense, it would have been simpler to just build it the correct way. And I haven't even tested its accuracy as far as how much it drifts compared to real time -- other reviews say it's pretty bad in that respect as well.

This display doesn't light up. For the price point I assumed it would have a backlight so you can see the numbers better, but it doesn't so this is as basic as it gets for a stopwatch.

Great product. Can't get any more user-friendly than this. I need to use a stopwatch in quiet settings and the silent operation provides peace of mind.

The back of this product keeps falling off and now I have lost it altogether. This means the batteries are not held in place and therefore they drop out. I put it back several times but now it is lost so I have put an elastic band round it to see if I can stop the batteris falling out. Only bought in May but Amazon give you no where to complain and get a refund.

I absolutely LOVE this stopwatch, it is exactly what I wanted. So easy to use, even I can 'work' it! Running my own cleaning business & charging by the hour, I have now gotten into the habit of setting the stopwatch when I arrive at my client's house & checking periodically to ensure I am within my time. Far easier than trying to remember to check the time by your watch or a convenient clock when you get there, something I frequently used to forget to do. Great value & sooooo simple.

It runs on AAA batteries and there is a on and off button to turn unit off completely
