Maybe my google-fu is not good enough, but I have not been able to find what I am looking for. I am looking for a handheld stopwatch that can handle 100ths of a second (heck I'd even take 10ths if need be) up until one hour. Most do not indicate when they go to displaying seconds instead of hundredths of a second, but the ones that do mostly seem to be at some point when the minutes hit two digits. I was able to pick one up that goes past 10 minutes, but still loses precision somewhere later.
Anyone know of one? Oh yeah, can't use a smartphone app (would not meet sanctioning body rules), has to be a "dumb" stopwatch.
Thank you, I love this forum! I dug up a pdf manual for the Casio, and I think it will do what I want. Still trying to check the cheaper options, but willing to drop the money on the more expensive one if need be.
Stopwatch app on my phone measures to 0.01

Not legal for OP's aplication.
In reply to eastsideTim :
Are you trying to achieve this with a mechanical stopwatch?
Precision depends upon frequency. Higher frequency -> higher beat rate -> higher precision -> lower power reserve. In general, there are exceptions.
This is not a real definitive article, but this turned up after a quick Google and helps explain some stuff.

In reply to Woody (Forum Supportum) :
In order to place in the event we're competing in, we'll need to travel 90 miles, and be less than 1 second off from an exact time (54 minutes). So, even just tenths at that point will be fine, because there is obviously a limit to human reflexes, but if we are running on seconds alone on a timer, it'll be more difficult to gauge how close to perfect we are.
Edit: Electric stopwatch is the plan.
