Sorry.. I know this has probably been asked a million times, but I can't find exactly what I'm looking for.

I want to get a bike computer that has and easily accessed stopwatch function. My current computer has stopwatch, but it's buried and isn't easy to view speed and the stopwatch at the same time. I end up wearing my watch for it's stopwatch and just use speed on my cycling computer.

Any suggestions?

I use a cateye stealth 10. You can select it to have a split screen with the speed at the top and time at the bottom(or total distance). It is very easy to use and read while riding.

Maybe search for a "lap" function, rather than "stopwatch." The Garmin computers all have that, and have screens you can configure to show a bunch of stuff at once - but they are pretty spendy. If you are training, though, a HR monitor and the download capabilities to training programs are great.

I have a Sigma Rox 5.0 and I agree, the "stopwatch" is pretty buried. But the lap function is the biggest button, front and center. If the lap function won't do the job for some reason, perhaps a wristwatch with stopwatch function would serve.

Thanks for the replies. I want the stop watch so I can watch my time during intervals. Just showing time doesn't work that great because I can't ever manage to do the math at the end of a hard sprint.

Sorry, on the Stealth 10 by time I ment a stopwatch function

I figured you did. Still surprised at the cost of the Stealth 10. It's not much more expensive to get a Garmin 200. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and get that.

The only reason I bought the cat eye is because I bought it from a friend really cheap, or I would of got a Garmin. The stealth has been great so far though.

Use the lap button as your start and stop. Set your screen to display lap time, lap speed, lap distance, lap elevation gain, lap power, lap hr, lap cadence, and instantaneous speed.

The Garmin 500 has a data field for time in the current lap. This is what you'd use to watch your time during a lap. The 500 also allows use of a wheel sensor which improves distance and speed accuracy over pure gps. The 200 can't use a wheel sensor or HRM and IDK if it has lap features and/or time in lap. For these reasons I would recommend against a 200 in favor of a 500.

That's what the lap function is for. Set the screen to display lap time; hit the lap button at the start of each interval.

Easy to do on Garmins.

I would bet many other cyclecomputers have the same function.

I did not know that. Thanks!
