LAOPAO Melt Stopwatch, Clock Daily Rainproof Digital Timer for Sports Match,Competition,Coach,Referee,Training,Timing

I have not used it as much as I hoped. Shortly after getting it, I packed up and moved. It sat in storage for 3 years. When I dig it out to use it, I found it still running in the box. Obviously, it was slightly out of time and date considering running in storage. As soon as I pressed the light button and it started flashing and beeping, it's final act I guess as it was too weak to respond. My only thought was the instructions should have something about how to change the battery. Got the battery changed and its working perfectly again. Awesome product.

The biggest thing to me is the fact it is sturdy, has a metal housing, and most importantly has a loud chime. The buttons are easy to press and the screen is sized so it is easy to read and easy for someone beside you to jot numbers off. The only downside to this is the backlight feature button is hard to press and I dislike the fact they didn't keep the buttons metal along with supplying the unit with a white cord vs black. Most of the dislikes are just personal preference though. I would buy this again.

The stopwatch is solidly built and easy to use. I had problems with the backlight with my first purchase of this item as it stopped working after only a week. The seller promptly responded to my message and provided a replacement which has been working great. If you are in need of a well built stopwatch with a backlight I would definitely recommend this product now.

It looks great and feels great in hand. But I find it ridiculously complicated to get and keep in the right mode for use as a simple stopwatch. Tech-savvy 52-year-old professor here Inevitably, it beeps and beeps as I fiddle with the button while someone is waiting. I give up. I'll open a browser tab (google "stopwatch") or use my phone. If you surmount the fraught user experience design, it's a nice timepiece.

As a strength and conditioning coach it is important to have things run in a timely manner and to also have the stop watch in hand in case things need to kept on a time crunch or for timing the athletes for specific drills. After using the timer for 2 months I went to pull it out of my work bag, that is very cushioned and secure because it is also the bag I keep my work laptop inside as well, and saw that the entire face of the timer was blank and no numbers appeared even after pressing and holding buttons. you can't tell me that it's the battery because it's ONLY been in use for 2 months!!! Terrible product quality...DON'T PURCHASE THIS TIMER!!!

Perfect for timing our high school track star! Great for helping her get her lap times down. It's so easy to use, the battery lasts a long time. Very accurate. We have dropped it a few times and it is very durabile. Worth every penny I paid for it.

Just like a lot of others, I thought the screen was permanently scratched. Turns out there is a peel-off plastic screen protector on the face. It is just hard to see that it is there. When peeled off it was left with a nice scratch-free face. I have been using it for a few days now and everything seems to be working great. It was very easy to follow the directions and turn the beep off, figure out the countdown timer, and set the clock. It only has a 24hr clock, but it's not so bad. You get used to it fast. The time has remained accurate since I set it. I am very impressed with it at this point. Update: Seven months later and this stopwatch still works like the day I bought it. I use it almost every day and it still has the original battery. No scratches as well. Even the face is still in like-new condition. I highly recommend it.

I needed a stopwatch with two requirements: Silent (i.e no beeps with the start and stop) and with a light. This one has both. It has a beep function, but this can be disabled, so the best of both worlds. It also has a light which is activated by pressing a side button. So it essentially does what I need it to. I knocked off a star for a few reasons: First: While it doesn't beep, it's not totally silent. There is still an audible "click" when the buttons are pushed. It's slight, but I use this stopwatch in my bedroom to track how long I sleep each night and I am trying to avoid disturbing my spouse. Second: The clock only displays in 24-hour time. No option to have it display 12-hour AM/PM time (at least not that I've been able to find). Third: The day indicators along the top blink in strange patterns to indicate which mode the watch is in. Seems like a weird way to tell me I'm in stopwatch vs. countdown mode. All in all, it serves my needs. It seemed like a challenge to find a non-beeping stopwatch with a light, but this one has both.

It’s a nice stopwatch, however the battery does not appear that it can be changed out… After spending this amount it is a shame that the battery is not able to be replaced easily.

It does not look like the pictures at all. I chose this specifically for the pictured type of buttons-- but they are not like like that at all. I find them difficult to press. It's almost like you have to push the button down, wait for a (sort of) click, then keep pushing it down before it starts. The first click is misleading-- it feels like a click but doesn't start it. I foresee that going awry for my precise counts. It also arrived a little scratched on the front. No protective peel or anything-- clearly a used watch. Silent mode works well, though. It's also very heavy. It's a metal stopwatch of course, but I own a few metal stopwatches and it's definitely noticeably heavier than the others, if that matters to you.
