you can get decent stop watches for under $10,
In this great country of ours (US of A - sorry for the moment of
chauvinism) the word 'DECENT' means VERY different things to
different people. Especially here in the Bible Belt.
I would NOT call the <$10 stopwatches 'decent' unless your budget for
yearly expendables is sufficient to replace them regularly. YMMV but
I find that you 'get what you pay for' with stop watches.
FWIW, I've found the student timers from PASCO ($63 per dozen) pretty
reasonable and reliable for their price. Previously, I bought the $6
K-mart type stopwatches which typically did not make it through the
semester.
