Dual Splits

Features
Read full description

The Dual Splits Timer consists of two stopwatches each with a split timer. The stopwatches may be started and stopped either separately or together. 
Each stopwatch has two buttons: one starts the stopwatch and resumes after a split and the other records each split time shown in red numbers on a white background. Stopwatches can be reset to zero only when a running stopwatch is paused. On the stopwatch displays, time can be measured in either seconds or decimal minutes. Additionally, there are two levels of time precision. One displays two digits for seconds or two digits for hundredths of a minute. For more precision, the other measures and displays seconds as two digits plus tenths of a second or three digits for thousandths of a minute. Lastly, there are three clockface color options to improve readability day or night.
