Vendors include: Hanhart in Germany & Sports Time USA

                     
             Or even your local drug store will have a generic stopwatch for as little as $8 - but
             keep in mind they are "cheap."

             To correct the beeping noise of digital stopwatches, open the back and place  
             a piece of paper over the plate to prevent the spring from activating the plate 
             = the 1¢ solution!
