-- countdown timer that's easily set or one with programmable presets
-- start/stop button needs to be the same, but reset button must NOT be one of the two
-- reset button requires holding in (don't like to accidentally reset time during a game, which happens with my timex)
-- comfortable band -- my timex has the silky one with the velcro on it, which I'd like to stay with if possible
-- vibration would be nice but not an absolute requirement
-- BIG numbers that show up in dim light
-- solar and atomic would be asking too much, I suppose, but would be nice

I'm debating loaning an atomic watch to the clock operator that starts the clock an hour before kickoff. We radio guys don't like games that start five minutes early when we have one more commercial break to get in.
