Even if you don't have a real watch the Timex Ironman has alarms, chrono, timer etc, 35 dollars.
Pass.
I tried that - my review is listed here under "D Hill".

I took the old Cateye Mity 3 off my commuter/tourer last summer, to try out a Garmin Edge 305. I sold the Garmin a few months later and haven't missed the Cateye at all.

I'll probably put a Strada on the new bike for navigating purposes, but I've become pretty happy with not caring how fast I'm going in the meantime.
