Watch recommended for football officials?

I meant the NFL and Ironman watches.

I think you thought I was referring to the ReadyRef.

Oh, I did...sorry. The NFL watch does not beep to let you know it is running

I use the NFL only in clock failure and my ready ref at BJ on TO and Huddles. I also use it for the time to get the ball to be kicked after a score. This is a time saving event for clock/game management.

I truly recommend both of these, just make sure you put a fresh battery in the ready ref each season. It gives you a 5 second warning on huddles and 15 second warning on time outs.

While I am carrying the Ready Ref in my bag, I always keep the battery unplugged as it is very easy for things in the bag to push against the button and keep starting the thing. (And you gotta have a spare battery in the bag anway, just like spare whistles, pencils, etc)

So, you carry the Ready Ref and and Ironman wristwatch to time quarters. I cant seem to find the "NFL wristwatch" from Honigs anywhere.

No loss if you can't find the NFL watch. It is kind of funky looking and makes you look like a "wannabe" IMHO due to the blaring "NFL" on it.

Thomas,

We have sold all our remaining stock and will not receive any more. The manufacturer (Sportline) is no longer making that model.

Thank you
