And being quartz it is spot on. The "auto" watch was like all "auto" watches, including the 4- and 5-figure priced ones (according to reports) which tend to shift by ~ 1 minute every week or two, which is irritating.

However, I find the Traser/H3 stopwatch has "sticky" buttons and when flying holds (JAA IR training) it sometimes fails to start or stop, which is a PITA. I now use a big plastic digital stopwatch for that. But e.g. the £3500 IWC Aquatimer (which I never owned and would never pay that kind of money, but I looked at it at a few shops) has the same problem - fiddly buttons, which shows you can pay loads of money and still get a piece of junk which is not much good when you need it.
