Many sports require careful, precise timing by the officials. Even if there is a sophisticated electronic timing system on the track or in the pool, common sense tells you technology will break down and eventually the competitors will be looking right at you! You’ll need a backup system and that calls for a traditional format stop watch. Here is a great choice. The Timex Marathon provides a large, digital display; oversize buttons for easy operation; 50-lap recall, speed calculation and pacer functions. It’s water resistant to 50 meters so a light rain is no concern. There’s a handsome brushed case and a generous length nylon lanyard. Because it’s a Marathon it also features the Timex INDIGLO® night light function for easy viewing in low light conditions.
