It is 29.95 and they ship free. The reason I like it is because it vibrates. You can program it to warn you 5 seconds prior to the end of the play clock. It doesn't allow you to view both the play and game clocks simultaneously, but it does have various time incriments preprogramed in it. I personally think this is a much better deal than the Ready Ref.
A better deal than the Ready Ref? Why, just cause it's $30 cheaper?

The Ready Ref has one purpose. It will last me a long, long time and I change the batteries at the start of each season, need them or not. I only use it for subvarsity games as my BJ on my varsity crew has his own Ready Ref.

I also wear a watch. It's in its third season -- it looks like it's almost due to be replaced. It only keeps the game clock and on Friday nights helps me stay on schedule.
