I use this watch to time my rest periods between sets when working out in the gym. It works great. I just hang it around my neck, and go through my workout routine. This is much better than trying to use a wrist watch. I typically use it in count-down mode. So, for example, if I'm resting 1 minute between sets, I set the timer at 1 minute. When it beeps at the the 5 second point before reaching zero, this is the signal to get into setup position on the machine or the free weights. I like the large display because I don't like to work out with my glasses on. The display is large enough that I can read it without glasses.

When the counter reaches zero, it automatically starts counting up from zero. So, when I finish the exercise set, I can quickly view how long the set lasted before resetting the counter for the next set.

This little watch has a great display, easy to operate buttons, and easy to understand settings. My one big disappointment was its countdown function, which was my main reason for buying it.

I wanted a watch to time sprint runs on my own and this watch seemed to be ideal with the stopwatch starting at the end of the countdown. All I would have to do is start the countdown, say 10 seconds out, take off at the beep at the end of the countdown and click the stopwatch at the finish line. In other words the beep would take the place of the starter pistol. Unfortunately, the watch beeps twice at the end of the countdown (or five times, for long countdowns) and the stopwatch begins at the END of the second beep. Doesn't seem to make sense. This renders the countdown almost useless for sprint starts, where you "go at the 'B' of the BANG, not the 'G', " and without reminders that it's getting very close to go time.

Otherwise, I'm very satisfied with the watch. (If I have this incorrect or if there's a setting to change it, someone please let me know.)

Reliable and does just what it says. Not completely intuitive, but the instructions are clear, and it's not hard to get used to.

It seems pretty accurate. Certainly for casual things, like getting a sense of the relative acceleration speeds for various cars (yes, being retired is really nice, LOL), it works very well for me.

Exactly what I needed for officiating golf tournaments. I wanted just a simple timer for 5 min. lost ball searches and for the 40 second timing of players who are being timed because of possible slow play. So easy to start, stop and reset.

Excellent for me while doing exercises. Use the countdown feature a lot. Highly recommended.
