I love this watch! It has a count down timer.  I used this watch while I was teaching.  It was invaluable to time activities for 1/3/5/10/15/20 or 30 minutes.  It is also waterproof which is great when you lap swim and do water aerobics.  I also wear it when I am boating in case I fall in.  This watch looks nice and can be worn all day comfortably.  This watch has an alarm which is helpful not only during the day to remind me to do something, but also when traveling to help you wake up in the morning.

I also use the count down timer when baking and cooking.  You can set your stove's timer and this watch's timer as a reminder.  Also good as a reminder to switch the cookies from top to bottom shelf when baking.

This is the only style watch I use.  The battery lasts a long time.  I love this watch!
