ACCUSPLIT AX850 Lane Timer/Pace Clock, Blue, 15-Inch

I love this lane clock. Nice and large, and with a minute and second hand it enables me to easily pace while swimming without stopping. I can time my 100's using second hand, and overall swim duration with minute hand (I lose count of lengths, so time is a good backup!) I set it at the side of my pool so I can actually view during a sideways breath while doing freestyle. Before you start, the minute hand can be hand wound to start at 60, then pressing the start button on the top, the second hand will start from where it was (might mean waiting to start if you are diligent about wanting to start at zero) It seems reasonably weatherproof, and I've had it out in the rain. However, I don't leave it out there, I put it in the pool shed between swims. The housing is sturdy and easily stands on the deck with an extendable plate, which is hardly needed, but which would make it more stable on a slanted/rough surface.I was going to buy a large digital pace clock, but they are quite a bit more expensive, I am happy with this choice.

My outdoor pool clock had the minute hand fall off after water polo balls damage. Got this for personal use since I swim lots of 5 and 10K meter straight swims, and I really need the minute hand for keeping track of laps. My pool manager is nice enough to let me store it under a cabinet, but it is small enough to carry in and out if necessary. This 14 inch face is nicely visible from up to about 10 yards at water level when doing flip turns (with 68 year old eyes wearing goggles), so I try to use the first three or four lanes. So far performs flawlessly. It is nice to have a button to turn the clock off without having to remove the battery. Well constructed, and seems to have pretty good resistance to splashed water. The plate at the bottom that can be pulled out to widen the base and help with wind resistance is a plus for me when outside. I recommend for anyone who can do with a smaller clock.

Took the clock out of storage today 4/28/22 to start using again. Was stored with battery out to help prevent corrosion. After some research it appears that the Clock Mechanism needs replacement. Contacted Accuasplit and found out that the unit is under warranty, since it was only 25 months old, but since it was out of the 90 day warranty period there is a "Small Fee" per their 5 YR Proof-Of_Purchase Limited Warranty. In what world is $30.00 a "Small Fee". Purchased unit for $90.86 so the $30.00 service fee represents almost 33% of the purchase price. Please be aware that the product looks great, performs well but the quality of the clock mechanism appears to be subpar and you will be left paying for the repair yourself. I would recommend looking at other brands especially ones that actually back the product with a warranty longer than 90 days.

So far this clock works like a charm. I coach a swim team and am so tired of the large, expensive clocks breaking, so I thought I’d try a small one. It’s compact and works great. I do wish it was a tad larger or at least had a little larger numerals so my swimmers could see it better across the pool.

I was concerned this was too small, but I place it on the deck next to my single lane lap pool and it’s plenty big enough to read. Set up was quick and easy. Runs on batteries- included.

First use, minute hand keeps stopping .. second hand works well, but useless clock poor quality !! Brand new and same issue as reported by others, was hoping that was just a rare situation but true.. new, 1st use and minute Jams time and again.. not worth $$. Will return and spend more for more quality productAddendum.. 1 week later.. after removing the black wand/adjuster from back of clock which allows one to zero the clock with each use, the clock works fine. To zero clock though I have to remove the small back cover each time… not much trouble… hence keeping the clock.. update more later if any future problems

They have performed well (we have two). After about a year, the on/off switch stopped working, so we removed the little connection for the switch, and now turn it on and off by removing the battery. But they keep accurate time, and have performed MUCH better than similar priced clocks from Kiefer.

Easy to carry. Easy to synch. Can see it from both ends of the pool. When I can't take my teammates for motivation, it helps improve my ability to work out on my own. While at home, we use it at our own pool at the other end and synch with the main clock for odd-lap sets for our Master's Team.
