Review on ⌚ Precision Timing with Ultrak Mechanical Stopwatch: Accurate and Reliable Performance by Josel Lambert

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nice return to a classic

I was looking for a good stopwatch to use on my desk to keep track of the time I spend at work. I was really fed up with cheap watches so I was looking for something better. This is exactly what I was looking for. As another reviewer mentioned, the "glass" feels plasticky but looks and works well so it's not a big deal. The mechanism works well and it is good that there is no need to replace the battery. (I haven't tried to measure how long it takes to settle down completely, but it's certainly a couple of hours.) This is the right weight to feel firm but not uncomfortably heavy. a little longer than 15 minutes, but for my purposes I can always calculate how many sets of 15 minutes I've spent. This product was also a bit pricey for the actual quality - while I'm not disappointed with it, it's not quite the level I expected for $60. However, it was the only reasonably priced, well-reviewed modern analog stopwatch I could find with a little research. Since I only use it at my desk, I'm not worried about it falling. If you're going to use it on a walk, you'll definitely need a wristband, as it's not as forgiving as a $2 digital stopwatch. Edit: After about two years, the crown was completely out of the case. stopwatch and won't be coming back. I have no idea if this is a simple problem or not because I couldn't find a place near me to do a real watch repair.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
