I’ve had this for roughly 5 weeks, but IMO it was a good purchase. There are three relatively minor flaws in it. One is that the built in Compass is basically a waste of time. It is inconsistent and inaccurate. But that function is not the main purpose of the stopwatch. Another flaw is that it appears that there is no way to replace the battery. There is no battery compartment cover, and I am not about to remove the assembly screws to find out if the battery is soldered in or is replaceable. But then again, the item is only six dollars US. If it lasts two or more years, it is not an extravagance to simply order a new one, if the price remains in the same ballpark. There is potentially another drawback and that is that it cannot be turned off. Which may be a problem with respect to battery life. I don’t know that yet. It is accurate. I have a stopwatch app on my phone. A phone is just not a good option ergonomically, and it has other drawbacks. (Ads being one of them) Which is why I ordered the stopwatch. Anyway, I started the two simultaneously, and stopped them (Simultaneously) at the 7-minute mark. This stopwatch read 7.00.12 and the phone app read 7.00.126. I would say that is basically identical. I haven’t tried the other functions because I have no need for them. I will say that the reviews that say that you can’t stop the hourly chime are either lying or are technically challenged. It tells you right on the instructions how to do that. It is the last instruction. The only thing that it doesn’t do is to indicate if the presence/absence of the horizontal dashes reflects whether the alarm is on or off. Spoiler’s alert. The absence of the dashes reflects that the hourly alarm is off. In the final analysis, it is a good purchase, and if/when it dies, and if it is still available, I will order it again. Read more
UPDATE: As of June 2021, this company is spamming me with repeated attempts to bribe me to get me to remove my review. I've forwarded all of these to Amazon, hopefully they will do something about it. -- ORIGINAL REVIEW: I bought this specifically because of all the reviews saying this was extremely easy to use, but after nearly an hour of trying to follow the instructions, which are just a few sentences printed on the box, I've decided this timer must be defective. We received this on Monday afternoon, and on Tuesday evening something started beeping once per hour, which we eventually realized was this stopwatch. There were no instructions on how to turn that off and nothing about this automatically beeping once per hour, on the hour. This seems to be an independent function from the actual alarm setting, which also doesn't seem to work properly. You can input the time for the alarm setting but you can't turn it off or set it to nothing, apparently the alarm has to always be set and can't be turned off, plus the once-per-hour beep is also permanent and can't be turned off. Surely this is a mistake, right? I can't imagine neither the instructions nor the description would fail to tell you something this important. And why wasn't it beeping once an hour on Monday, and didn't start until Tuesday? I can't get the day of the week setting to stick, either, it's stuck on Tuesday forever apparently, so maybe these two things are related. Speaking of settings being stuck, we followed the instructions on setting the date and time, but there was no way to save the setting once finished. No matter what we did, the stop and start button just cycled through setting the date and time and the set button didn't set anything. Eventually the time set and I'm assuming the problem is that the buttons aren't making proper contact, so it took multiple tries to get it to set. Once I got everything (but the day of the week) set, when I hit the start/stop button, it beeps but doesn't do anything. I can use the mode button to get to what should be the timer, hit start/stop, but nothing. A few times I went out there to try again and found the timer running as though it had been going for 8 hours, even though the last time I reset it to zero had been 20 minutes earlier. Reset only half the time resets, which is another reason that I believe there may be an issue with the button making contact properly. As I was playing around with this I noticed scratches on the face and a circle on the back which almost looked like wear, so maybe I was sent a defective return. Whatever the case may be, I cannot wait to get this out of my house. Read more

It does what it's advertised to do. BUT if you have little ones in the home, be aware! The small compass on the bottom right falls out. It is very small and is a CHOKING HAZARD. Also, the controls are a little confusing. (There is an alarm that keeps going off. And I don't know how to stop it from happening. And I don't know how often it is set to go off.) Read more
