$8 at your local discount store.

The only down side, you cant shave off a few minutes like those who hide the clock in their pocket do... (well its much tougher!)

Other than that, great. Preset the time limit.. press the memory button and you are off.. also uses 1AA battery, no weird batteries.

Oh, mine did not hold up well in the rain.. it did recover, but failed during the rain, luckily I have a back up digital stop watch that is on my water bottle holder... so was no problem.

I cant see wearing a watch on your mask (someone recommended this, never heard of it before).. if a ball hits that and it shatters into your face or a girls face, you are in a heap of trouble.
