BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When the LCD becomes dim, replace with a new type LR44 battery.
I am very happy with this Sports timer. I originally bought it for the purpose of determining how long it takes me to read an average page of text from any given book in Stopwatch mode; I thought I might be able to increase my reading speed. This Sports Timer has proven to be so much more than just a stopwatch.
The Sport Timer Stopwatch has a very durable Nylon lanyard for wearing around your neck. I think it is bigger than what is needed, but you can just put a simple knot in it to wear the stopwatch further up the chest if you want; that's what I did.
I recommend this to anyone.
I hope I have been helpful to you.
