FCXJTU Pro Soccer Referee Watch,100 Lap Memory Stopwatch with Countdown Timer & Silent Mode, 3-Line Backlit Display, 12/24H Clock + Alarm On/Off Sports Watch for Football Officials, Coaches

Have been a soccer ref for 4-5 years and this is the best and easiest to use watch I have had. In the Football mode it is easy to set a match time, start the half, note when extra time needs to be added on (it keeps track of that separately) so you can make an easy judgement at the end on how much extra time needs to be considered, and resets easily for the next half.

Good watch

I love the injury feature to pause the soccer game time and count up showing Howe much additional time will be added to the game as a result of stopping the game for injury. I wish I could put in more than just minutes to count down. I would like to do 17.5 mines per quarter, but you can only do 17 or 18 minutes and there is no warning chime when you are close to time being up, if you're using the soccer "football" mode/screen. Great watch, unfortunately the casing broke and the watch band fell off. I had to flute the casing back on so the spring that holds the watch band on could be re-set and hold the band onto the watch

Stopwatch is defective- stopwatch feature will not reset. Manual/instructions poorly written by non-English speaking Chinese. Doesn't deserve one star, would give no stars but not an option.

I bought this watch last summer after my favorite (soccer) referee watch finally broke. It was last minute purchase so I was hoping it would last me a couple weekends while I found a "good" watch. Loved it after a full weekends of use. It's simple to use and has exactly what I need to referee soccer games either as my main watch or backup watch(use two watches when I'm the center ref, one when I'm sideline ref). Use chronograph as main watch and stopwatch as backup watch. I'd definitely recommend this over those high priced "professional" soccer referee watches. P.S. Bought last summer, banged it a few times while using. Watch face is still without a scratch and plastic band it'll looks new.

UPDATE 1/4/25 It was time to replace the battery. There is a sticker that tells you to connect AC with Neg(-) after replacing the battery. There is no documentation that shows what part of the watch is AC, but i found that you need a pair of tweezers to connect 2 metal connectors shown on the pic to reset and everythng works as expected. I simply love this watch. Simple to use and setup. I don't need fancy functions; keeping game time and delays work marvelously. Pros: simple Cons: There is a Pace function I couldn't figure out how to set up. Nevertheless, I don't use it.

This watch can be used for all sporting events. It can also be used as an all around watch. However, I would like it more if you could stop the time in football mode and then resume play. Maybe it is me, but I can't get it to stop and resume play. I will just use the count down mode.

I've got my use out of it coaching kids soccer, as well as refereeing.... I noticed that the digits would fade when I depressed the backlight button, so I figured it was time for a new battery. Standard CR2032 was in there, so I replaced in kind.... and when I put a brand new battery in, the screen showed random segments of the numbers, but has since gone, and remains, completely blank. I've tried another new battery on it... nothing... I've tried the new batteries in OTHER devices, and the its not the batteries. Interesting note inside the battery compartment that I'm not really sure what it means (see picture)... wondering if I'm doing something wrong (not sure exactly what is meant by "contact(ing) Ac with battery (-) using tweezers"), or if I've fried the watch with the new battery! A little help from FCXJTU would be great!
