ACCUSPLIT AX605 - AX PRO Series Professional Stopwatches

Start/Stop and a Reset button makes everything simpler.

Have purchased 4 of these over the years for myself and others.Easy and comfortable to use with big buttons and display instead of unnecessary features.Have not gotten them wet so no comment on water resistance.Extremely reliable.

This is a typical Accusplit product. It's well made and accurate. The reason I gave it a 4 star rating is because both side buttons can be used to start and stop the watch but the reset button is in the middle and is a little uncomfortable to reset. I'm used to the reset button being on the side which is much easier to operate. If you can get used to the button positions, this is the watch for you. It's straight timing, no lap, etc functions.

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.

Needed simple stop watch for volunteers to time runs. No need for laps, splits, alarms and whatever. These are very user friendly with just a start/stop button (2 of them) and a reset button - no confusion. Added bonus is the large LED readout, easy on the eyes. Nice size to fit in the hand. Reasonable price - was a good buy.

The stopwatch does exactly what we need it to do, just be a stopwatch. We have had previous stopwatches that have had several different modes and they created problems at the wrong time.
