    Hello,
    Can anyone recommend a good stopwatch for training and races. I want one that I can wear on my wrist, is user friendly, shows split and cumulative time and has decent sized buttons which you can easily select and press.
    Thanks very much.

    Im also looking for a stopwatch. My main sport is swimming but also to triathlons. I usually go with a Casio. Im very hard on my watches, they only seem to last me a year or 2 before the watch breaks...normally its the wriststrap part of the watch goes. Its just happened again :mad: so I need a new one. The main feature I want is a lap recall, as I keep a training dairy and want to log my times so the lap recall function is really handy for this. Im lost without it!

    Timex ironman watchs are the business!!! I had a casio watch with lap function, the lap button was crap and too hard to press when on the move so I ended up missing 1/2 the laps :mad:.

    I have a Timex Ironman 50 lap one - looks like this one. That one is going to be at least 60 euro.
    For half that you can get one with 8 lap memory.

    My one can store workouts - I use it in races to record lap times and then read them off the watch when I get home. Has plenty of features in addition to the stopwatch - countdown timer (good for intervals) and 3 alarms.

    I bought a Timex Ironman. It's just the job. Thanks for the advice.
