The best cheap watch
I need a cheap watch to keep me going until I can afford one of the new Garmins

Minimum requirements:

Stopwatch
Backlight

Anyone know of any good deals?

Thanks


AJ

One free with subscription to runnersworld. Although I'm sure you could pick one up from argos for about £5 at those specs.

Sorry!

AJtuna, it might be worth paying a couple of quid more and getting one with a lap split memory, but this really doesn't cost a hell of a lot more.

Check ebay - occasionally the FLM reject watches come up for 5 pounds - they're quite good - timex iron man - only draw back is that they only have 8 lap memories...

Another interesting option is to ebay for a timex SDM watch - they seem to cost around 50 pounds (as do the GF101's on ebay...)

You could get a very cheap hrm like mine (RS100) on ebay. Does the lot plus more!

I got a Timex Ironman off ebay because I wanted an interval timer and Argos don't stock the girlie ones.
