Multi-function Professional Handheld Electronic Digital LCD Chronograph Timer Stopwatch Sportwatch

Very useful for my therapy sessions.

Cheap and does the job

This is too complicated. If you think you’re ordering a simple stop watch to time your planks let’s say, this ain’t it. This is suited for an Olympic athlete.

For various purposes. Easy to use

Product information is missing relevant information. Stopwatch does not have a "Off" button. It remains on until the battery is depleted. I do not know how long that takes. If battery lasts a year or whatever, the product info should state as much. Replacing the battery requires a jeweler's screwdriver to remove the back panel. There is no mention of this defect or what battery is required. I realize this product is inexpensive, but why Amazon lists it as an "Amazons Choice" selection is somewhat suspect.

It is durable and light. Functions are easy to navigate through and it serves its purpose.

I'm an on-course official which at times require me to time more than one player at the same time. Having multiple stopwatches allows for me to achieve this.
