Key Features
- 50 Meter Water Resistance (165 Feet) – This watch is built to withstand splashes, rain, and brief submersion, making it suitable for everyday use, handwashing, and swimming in shallow water. It’s not designed for diving or high-impact water sports, but it holds up well during casual water exposure.

- LED Backlight – A built-in LED illuminates the digital display in low-light conditions, ensuring you can easily read the time at night or in dim environments like movie theaters or early morning commutes.
- Countdown Timer – Set a countdown for workouts, cooking, study sessions, or any timed activity. The timer helps you stay on track with audible alerts when time is up.
- 100 Second Chronograph – A specialized stopwatch mode that measures up to 100 seconds, useful for short-duration timing needs like sprints or interval training.
- Daily Alarm – Set a recurring alarm to wake up, remind yourself of appointments, or stay on schedule throughout the day. The alarm repeats daily unless manually turned off.
- Hourly Time Signal – A subtle beep on the hour helps you stay aware of time passing, useful for punctuality without needing to check your wrist constantly.
- 7 Year Battery Life – Powered by a single C battery (included), this watch is engineered for long-term reliability with minimal maintenance. The extended battery life means fewer replacements and consistent performance over years of use.
