watch

[philipcosson]

Has anyone got a recomendation for a simple watch for use in timing the start of a race?

Needs to be quite easy to read - eyesight not what it was.

It also needs to be cheap (post christmas reality check!)

Kitchen timers can be had cheap, and have massive numbers.... not necessarily waterproof though, or wrist mountable.

I couldn't find the casio you mentioned on the highstreet, and I wanted to have a go with it before buying.

I finally found this on ebay and have stumped up the extra tenner - so i'll let you know how I get on. Thanks for the advice, I did take on board the need for a countdown timer and the clear start/stop button.
