Seriously, just buy The 180 Watch

Alum Inactive Sage Inactive ⭐
Okay, I get I look like a sucker for paying $60 for something I could have paid $20 for, especially in light of the watch's very limited purpose.
But please, "hear" me out on this (if you'd rather not, please buy from me my LSAT Max watch). I purchased the watch from LSAT Max after much consideration. Honestly, I didn't want to buy an LSAT watch at all, but particularly after hearing horror stories of careless proctor's messing with much-coveted minutes, I felt it was worth the plunge. But if you're going to buy a watch to save you any from trouble or perfect planning outside of the actual performance on the LSAT, The 180 Watch seems to be the only one comfortably worth your while.
There's nothing necessarily wrong with the LSAT Max watch or others within its price range, but the fact that you have to manually reset your time (with a second hand that does not reset) is a legitimate thorn in the side. Maybe others here will disagree with me, but I would at least caution those who are thinking of buying a watch to consider what the difference in the available selection actually entails.
The 180 Watch is less distracting, given the "second hand" moves less frequently and is actually within a much smaller frame than the head of the watch itself. I consider the strategic markings (such as the longer tick marks at 8:00 intervals) to be helpful but not deal-makers. The fact that the watch can be reset with the push of a button and down to the second is huge. As one who involuntarily obsesses over little things like the first scratch on a new pair of shoes or a video game case, knowing I'm not (at the very least) seconds off in time lets me proceed much more smoothly. Not to mention, the better accuracy is just simply better.
I didn't know this key difference existed between The 180 Watch and its competitors. Now, I have two watches with the same, very limited purpose.

@Pacifico basically summed it up as perfectly as it can be.
@Matt1234567 I only purchased the watch because of the "stopwatch" mechanism. When I realized that I had to attempt to adjust the hand (and not even the secondhand) I was pretty ticked. And whenever I tried timed sections or problem sets, I was still ticked off, haha. As mentioned, the watch does have other nice benefits.

It does not prop *as well* as the 35 minute but we are big boys and girls and can adjust the strap to stabilize it.

It says LSAC approved as of 2014, but nothing's changed drastically since then, right?
