Yeah, if you're at all worried about it, go ahead and try to get some kind of documentation. You'll have enough on your mind as it is, so if that puts you at ease even slightly, do it.
What would you do if the proctors gave you trouble on test day? Like if they think the watch is forbidden. I would be so sad if they didn't allow me to use the watch on the day of the test. I'm thinking maybe emailing LSAC so that I have something in writing to show the proctors just in case. What do you think? @jhaldy10325
It's not too fragile as long as you take care of it properly. Shouldn't just break down for no reason. As far as battery life, the first one I purchased died like 8 months after I got it but I'm still using the same watch after having replaced the battery and it works perfectly.
It's definitely worth the investment, so convenient and easy to use. What I'd do if I were you is buy a used 180 on Ebay at this point out so you get it for cheaper, and then before you take the test buy a new one so you don't run into any problems.
Is the 180 watch prone to dying out or breaking down easily? I'm hesitant about buying one well in advance of test day (9 months~) for fear of something going wrong.
@nicole I have the instructions, any way to upload a pic here?

@jpooch14225 I have heard mixed reviews about the ones with the 35 minute bezel designed entirely for the test.
Highly recommend the 180 Watch. I also used the 35minutes.com watch but it's tough to reset and one day (after many resets) the mechanism ripped right out on me. 180 Watch is pricey but I personally wouldn't test without it.
I am currently in the market for a good LSAT wrist watch. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have heard mixed reviews about the ones with the 35 minute bezel designed entirely for the test.
Do you still have the little instruction card that came with it? It does include guidance on how to correct this particular issue, if I recall correctly.

Highly doubt this would happen, many students come in with analog watches on test day...the proctors just make sure it's not digital.

Just use a regular watch and reset at 12 after every section. Only takes but a second to do.

Thanks for the update. Mine just broke in the middle of a test, so hopefully I will be able to use this to fix it.

I tried sleuthing the net for the instructions but it looks like they're not posted, sorry. You'll probably have to email them.

Thank you, @nicole Hopkins !

I purchased the watch about a year ago.
