RUNNING WATCH - MUST HAVE SPLITS, LAP COUNTER

1 lurker | 1 watcher

Tim of MK Sep 2018 6:18pm, 16 Sep 2018 2,293 posts	0 Tim of MK Hi there I am after a running watch. Don't want anything fancy (eg GPS). Don't want anything that needs re-charging. Just a watch. What I do want is something that (a) shows me the lap that I'm on (eg "1"), (b) shows me split times; and (c) allows me to recall split times post run. Ideally, I'd also like an easy to read display. Any suggestions please? Tim

The only thing is, you might find the display a bit dinky (though I can read it ok without glasses). After seeing mine, my mate also bought one. argos.co.uk
