There are 2 problems with the ordinary Timex Ironman watches (which I have worn forever): first, you don't want an audible beep -- particularly if you are on the line or working the 25 as R like I did yesterday (no clock; had BJ run the clock). If its late in the game or a team is way up and I don't want to flag the 25, the beep will go off and might be heard.

The second, and more serious problem, is that the start/stop button are different AND the stop button and reset are the same. Since the reset will reset the time without holding down the button for a few seconds, this is a terribly flawed design. I have lost the time before because I accidentally hit the stop/reset button twice when I only wanted to hit it once. Don't use the Timex to time the game.
