Backlight Stopwatches

This is an excellent product; works faultlessly, nicely designed and made, and the buttons feel good and give confidence. The backlight is perhaps a little faint also the instructions failed to mention the type of replacement battery, but a quick and helpful email exchange soon sorted that. Perhaps unusually we wanted a simple basic Stopwatch to time periods of walking our puppy daily on various routes as she steadily grew older and more able to tackle distances without joint damage. It’s surprising how easily you forget what your wristwatch displayed when you left the car ! The traditional Stopwatch would have been preferred originally but these are generally no use for times exceeding an hour. The DB1 has proved perfect in use and we are more than pleased with it.

We’re very happy with these stopwatches. We ordered 3 a few months ago and ordered another 3 recently. All are still working perfectly. We haven’t experienced any problems. We will most likely need more in the future and we will definitely buy the same stopwatches again.

Simple, hard-wearing and easy to use. We use these stopwatches to time ride duration at our inflatable waterball amusement ride on the Gold Coast in Australia (Aussie Waterballs, Pacific Fair). Previously, we used "water resistant" stopwatches. For around the same price, these waterproof ones from Fastime are much better and great value. All our staff are very happy using these stopwatches.

I’ve always found your company really helpful and this stop watch is great for any teachers/assessors who have to administer tests! Thank you.

This is a really useful stopwatch for people who need only the stopwatch function. It’s ideal for backstage use as it has no audible beep. Also, there is only one display, so you can’t accidentally hit buttons and get stuck in alternate menus, turning on alarms and just getting confused. The buttons are a little stiff but I am hoping they’ll get better in time, although that is also a plus for backstage work. The backlight is pretty dim, you can’t even detect it in daylight but it is enough to see the numbers in complete darkness. The one I received also had a matte black body, not clear as pictured.

Try to find it in Holland: An affordable stopwatch with a simple light so you can read the time when running in the dark.... you just can’t! I’m happy I fount it at AST, even though it is in UK. The size is big but not too big (can be held in your hand palm while running). The buttons are monkey proof. Pushing them works straight away. The light is bright enough to read in the dark but it would have been even better if it was a little brighter. The cord is a little too short. The programs are basic but effective. The numbers have a convenient large size. If you need an easy to use basic stopwatch WITH light: Buy it!

My son-in-law wanted a back-lit stopwatch for timing the rowers he coaches in Cambridge. He says this is perfect and it seems robust too.
