Way better than no-name watches from the sporting goods store

Posted by Unknown on Sep 21st 2023

The Hanhart Stratos 2 watches purchased from the StopwatchsUSA were replacements for 2 watches purchased from a major national sporting goods store, which failed upon first use. The Hanhart watches (on sale) were only a dollar more than the no-name watches, and they have been accurate to better than 20/100 of a second over a week's running. This is significantly better than the published spec.

The ergonomics of the Hanhart watches are good - it is obvious which buttons are for start/stop, and which are for lap/reset. The cheap watches were poorly marked and used identically shaped buttons.

Also, the Hanhart watches have good tactile feel to the buttons, which makes accurate timing easy. The no-name watches had buttons that could be pressed with very light pressure, making for many bad measurements.
