Hi guys,

Wanted to pick up just a cheap basic stopwatch so I can keep track of progress for running in a 10k this weekend. Any suggestions of where I might be able to pick something up in town?

Thanks in advance

I picked up a cheap Timex stopwatch in Argos, and it does the business. Better than the LIDL stuff (the LIDL watch I had lost a minute every hour

).

Just be aware, the Casio F91W (one of the cheapest in Argos and fairly bullet-proof) only runs to one hour in stopwatch mode.

I got a Timex Marathon watch in Argos which seems to be very reliable.
