I'm a 59 Y/O runner, (jogger), and I'm looking for a wrist stopwatch that has a LARGE display so I
can read it without my glasses. Anyone have a suggestion? Thank you...... Jerry Illinois

I bought the new Timex Ironman Sleek 100 lap watch a few months ago. I'm 61. It's the largest
display I've ever seen. I like it a lot.

I'd second this suggestion. Also have a Timex Ironman, and the display is quite big/readable. Also
look at the Nike watches (the multi lap models).

If you like big numbers with lots and lots of bells and whistles jump on the Timex. If you want a
watch with large numbers, very simple try the Casio: Model No. STR300B-1V $23.46 + Priority shipping
is just $2.97

Product Information Watch features:

* Black nylon band
* 60 lap/split counter
* Auto LED backlight with afterglow
* 10-year battery life
* Water resistant up to 50 meters
* Dual time
* Automatic calendar
* Countdown timer
* 4 alarms

Data above from the Walmart web page. I tossed my Timex in the drawer for this watch. I found the
100 splits and all those extra functions of little value.

Same age, same loss of sight and a firm believer in KISS - Keep it simple ....

I have the same problem with my heart monitor - Polar. I have to run in glasses (can't see the
ground without) but need to take them off to read the heart rate.

Yah... Nike has one watch in particular that is huge... the Triax Speed Super.

You also need superhuman hearing to hear their polite little beeps when running outside. And I
really dislike the plastic faces on the Polars. I prefer a watch with a mineral glass crystal.
