Stopwatches:
                     
                      Digital

Meylan - 803MC - $55 - works great for either RH or LH dominant 
psychometrists 
                     

HanHart Stopstar 2 (~$60) - offers excellent tactile feedback as to start/stop, has a quiet click sound when pressing buttons (no beeping) and uses standard AA batteries.  May not be suitable for smaller hands. 

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!

                      Analogue

Ritter 700 - from WPS (see image below) - inexpense! - only ~$85
