This thing "works" in the sense that it occasionally does what it supposed to. The buttons never work consistently and were that way straight out of the box. It has progressively gotten worse and the buttons are losing there resistance making the watch even less reliable. I wouldn't recommend it to ANYONE.

I love this stopwatch because not only is it the easiest to use, but it has the largest screen of any stopwatch I've tried and it's so easy to see...even without reading glasses. If you have trouble seeing the small numbers on most other stopwatches and hate all the dials on many, you will love this simple to use stopwatch...plus all the colors are fun and you can't beat the price!

I don't have any problems with this stopwatch. It's easy to use, so there aren't any crazy functions on it. If you are training for olympic trials or something, you'll probably want to go with something else. For the rest of us, it's great.

Bought these figuring they would be a good value for timing our local high school swim meets. Didn't want to spend too much since the watches often "walk". They are unusable. I returned all 12 of them. Buttons are too hard to click for a stopwatch. Also hard to get into the right mode and keep it there. Timers would be unable to get accurate results. Not necessarily the low price that makes them cheap--just poorly made. I got some new ones that cost only slightly more and they work great!

I bought several of these for timing work and swim laps; two work very easily and well, and two were crotchety, not turning on and off easily and making me slip on the time. It seems the quality is inconsistent.

Extremely cheap...toy. They remind me of party favors. The buttons are oblong, and rock one way or the other when pressed. Sometimes a press results in the actual button making contact, sometimes not. I bought 4 and all 4 are like this, it's not a fluke. Pick another stopwatch.

I have never written a review before, but the quality (or lack thereof) of this product warrents it. I purchased 6 of these stopwatches based on the reviews, the size of the display and the size of the buttons for a swim team. Most of the watches were malfunctioning from the beginning and by the second use were useless. Do not waste your money. No reliable starts, no reliable finishes. Spend your money on a better quality watch.

Good cheap stopwatch. More options than I would want, which makes me have to use the manual to set it. I really like stuff with one button that does one thing, but nobody makes simple anymore. I would recommend to track coaches. Easy to read display.

Start and Stop buttons sometimes do not work properly. You have to press really hard to get them to function.

the product arrived in a timely fashion. It looks great! But neither I nor either of my adult sons can figure out how to work it!! You can't set the time and without that cannot get a start on it. So, three adults cannot get it to function.
