Stopwatches for Competitions?

[ducttapecuber]

I apologize in advance for making this thread... I was just having trouble finding answers.

We are in the process of buying our own equipment for this area for competitions. North Carolina will soon hit 6 competitions in a span of less than 365 days! Which is very exciting for us. Which has prompted the need for equipment.

Speedstacks timers, mats, and displays are regulation standard. Cube covers are pretty standard now adays. And all the smaller things needed (pens for example) can be found regularly. So that stuff is easy. However I am having trouble finding stopwatches that are not high priced. We would prefer to spend $10 or less on each stopwatch. Does anyone have any recommendations? Ones you use? Any delegates have a suggestion? If you can find one on Amazon or Ebay that would be fantastic, but I will take any suggestions!

Thanks!

I have found a couple that i think would be good for the competition(s):

1) https://www.amazon.com/Champion-Spo...F8&qid=1495329365&sr=1-1&keywords=stopwatches they look very simple to use, and you get 6 for $28.25, which is about $4.70 for each one.
2) https://www.amazon.com/KOOZIMO-Chro...F8&qid=1495329490&sr=1-1&keywords=stopwatches these don't look as good, but their only $1.99 (plus $1.49 shipping).

I would personally recommend the first one, but there are a lot of very promising options on Amazon, just by searching for Stopwatches and setting the filter to Price-Low to High.

The biggest tip I can give is to not cheap out on stopwatches. They're the best investmeant that you can make. The colored one on Amazon are the good ones we've used at the competitions.
