Hi, Julie, you can get perfectly practical stopwatches from eBay, from about £1.99 each. [For anyone new to hdt, you need at least two for your backstepper to use in a competition, one for timing the sections and the second for timing hold-ups or to use as a back-up.] Or you can get elegant large-digit competition watches from Bennington Carriages and Jack in a box, with/without a carriage mounting, from £38. https://www.benningtoncarriages.co.uk/accessories/carriage-accessories/stopwatch How to use it video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSWUCKJEerU#t=21 Remember that you can download Mike Watts' free HDT section time calculator from his website, www.mikewatts.com. This will calculate the time when you should be passing each km marker. |

Hi, Can anyone recommend a good watch/timer for a backstepper (for training and marathon timing)? |
