I’ve used various pacer watches over the years, and Casio has by far more available than any other maker. I use it to keep my running at a pace I’m targeting as well as to measure the distance of a run if I’m on an unfamiliar route (or at an unmarked portion of a distance race). Previously owned the solar version of this same model, but the solar function began failing after a couple years (and after once losing it at my tennis club when the finder stashed it in a dark cabinet where it sat “lightless” for a couple weeks). This model is cheaper without the solar power and I expect it to be more dependable for that reason as well. Tremendous functionality and value.

This review is from: Casio Men’s STR300C-1V Runner Eco Friendly Digital Watch (Watch)
For about $24, you get a decent watch that can record up to 60 splits.
For watches I’ve owned in the past, I had to delete old timing logs to make space for new ones. I prefer the way the STR300 works and allows you to delete individual logs, or it simply deletes the oldest log to make room for newest timing measurements. I no longer waste time deleting old logs.
I like how there are 5 alarm time settings. Depending on my morning activities I need to wake up at different times. With this watch I don’t need to constantly adjust the alarm time back and forth. I just turn in the one out of five available alarm times that suits my needs.
I think that the distance measuring feature is kind of silly. You have to keep pace with a beep on an interval you set, and you have to match your average stride length with a stride length you enter. I don’t think this is a useful feature.
The Timex Indiglo lighting makes the Timex watches easier to read than the Casio STR300 with its LED backlight.
I’ve been wearing my STR300 while I swim and haven’t had any issues.
I am happy with my purchase.
