  I don't know about that specific watch but I have heard there is a 180 LSAT watch and that one dies out pretty soon, within the span of 4-6 weeks I think.
  
  I purchased this watch over 6 months ago and it is still running:

  even though I am not a man lol.. it comes on a stand so it is great, you have the watch on the stand which is a great level for your eyes. I haven't started PTing yet, but I am drilling games timed and it is great when I use it for that. I went with this one because I liked how the numbers were a little bigger and bolder.
  
  This one is a little cheaper:

  I've heard good things about it. Never used one personally. I find it more convenient to use one of my good quality watches since I know they are incredibly reliable. Set the minute hand to 12 and note that 6 is the 5 minute mark, and 7 is when time will be called.

  I used that watch. It worked fine, but the dial is a bit difficult to turn, so you may want to grow out your nails a bit for the test. Looking back, though, I personally think it was a waste of money, and I would have been fine using any regular analog watch.

  @"Ron Swanson" how long have you been using that watch for? I've heard mixed reviews.

  I've used it since Julyish 2015 so a full year. At one point this past spring the pin (little windy thing on the side) popped out, but the watch has warranty so I just sent it back and got a new one free of charge.
  
  Obviously at ~$20 you get what you pay for, I'm just not going to shell out on a 180 watch. On test day, the LSATMax watch worked completely fine and I relied on it entirely, which is what matters in the end.

  I bought it on ebay (on a whim), without reading the reviews. I don't think it is particularly useful for a PT because it doesn't reset. If you want to continue using the 35 minute count-down, you would have to reset it yourself, which is a waste of time. There's a dial so you can keep track of your time through each section, but it's sort of confusing because of all the colors and whatnot. Now that I have it, I wish I purchased a Casio watch with dial instead! In my opinion, this LSAT watch is only useful for 1 timed section.
