I initially purchased this watch for my husband. My son liked it so much he began to drop hints that he would like one for a Christmas present!!! :-) I've now purchased 2 of these for my family & they love them! My husband & son need the stop watch in their daily business functions & the waterproof abilities are a bonus that they also appreciate!!! Even if you're not a triathlete I would still HIGHLY recommend this watch if the functions fit into your daily life!!! :-)
