ACCUSPLITSurvivor S3CL CUMULATIVE-LAP SPLIT Stopwatch with Magnum Display

So I read another review that said the stop watch was shipped with a dead battery, but thought it was a fluke. I ordered 13, 6 of which the batteries were dead upon arrival and one the buttons did not function. 6 for 13 working on initial order. Returned those 7 and got 3 that worked. Finally, Amazon was tired of sending me defective merchandise and refunded the money. SO be warned that you may get a non-functioning or a dead battery.The working ones work fine. They do not beep when the buttons are pushed in case that is a feature you are looking for...or feature you would not like in a stop watch.

The stop watch appears to be very nice, but the batter was dead when I received it. It says the battery lasts for 18 months. Does that mean this item has been on the shelf for over 18 months? Not great.

I bought this stopwatch to keep accurate time during testing. A great plus is that it is silent. The stopwatch does not make any beeping sounds.But there were two significant negatives. First the battery lasted less than 5 months before dying on me. Second, the buttons need very hard presses. Sometimes I need to press the start/stop button twice for the press to register.

Although the stopwatch works as advertised, it arrived with a dead battery! I was not a "happy camper". Any savings which I thought I was receiving, was quickly removed after spending approximately $5 for a new battery.

Ok so after reading the review where someone else received there's with a dead battery, I gave them a shot anyway and ordered one..mine had a dead battery also. So by the time I go to the store and buy a new battery I could have just went to the store and bought a new stopwatch that has a battery that works and it would be cheaper...I give 1 stars B/C it was shipped in a clear package..so who ever shipped it knew the battery was dead....

The item arrived not working, I replaced the battery but no luck, it just doesn't work. Other reviewers seem to be happy with this, but the one I received was a piece of junk.

I didn't read the reviews and was swayed by the large display and silent operation. It does achieve both of those advertisements. However, it arrived on so don't know how long it has been on. Embossed on the back of the case is the "5-year NO-Proof-Of-Purchase Limited Warranty" and the following info:Through Mar 2009/Free serviceApr 2009-Mar 2013/$10 Fee for serviceAfter Mar 2013/$10 fee service may not be availableAs this arrived 7/23/2010 I assume I will not get any free service if needed, and have already lost almost 1 1/2 years of the $10 fee for service. I would also assume it has been turned on for at least two years. I understand why so many people receive theirs with dead batteries.I will keep it as it is functioning and has the large display. I am disappointed because I buy a lot from/through Amazon and this is only the second time I have not been totally satisfied. With all the negative comments I am surprised Amazon still uses this supplier.

Perfect stopwatch for those not needing all the hard-to-understand frills. Just works. Fine. Excellent. Doesn't eat batteries. I hope they make this forever, but...
