I'm looking for a Runner Watch with Countdown Timer settable in Tenths of Seconds? I do my interval solo and need a watch that can be set in half second increments and beeps so I can know if I am on pace. Example: Beeps every 17.5 seconds for 100M splits on a 70 second 400M pace. I'm not having any luck thus far......

I was wondering what scenario the thread title would be useful in, and this sounds like a not totally useless idea.
I think my ironman beeps for like 5 or 10 seconds, so if a watch had a similar chime, it would be beeping like half of the time you were running.
Wouldn't that get annoying? Why is every 200 meters for a check not enough?
I'd like to get accurate indications of hitting pace enroute. I've found several watches that can be set for to repeat and give out a single "beep" at each repeat. It just would be easier to set up if it offered increments in the tenth of a second. I've found that the Robic SC-707 stopwatch will do it, but would rather wear a wristwatch when running intervals vice carrying a stopwatch in my handwatch.
The Casio Marathon has dual countdown timers that can be set in minutes, seconds, and each of them repeat 50 times. It's the only watch I found that has dual countdown timers in seconds.
hmmm...would you only do this workout on days with no wind?
I would sure like to have one of these. My favorite workout is long series of 100/100 on/offs, and 1 second is a big difference.

For 70 second quarters, just set it for 14 seconds, for every 80 meters. Easy.
Thanks for the inputs (Except for the butthead ones from the Troll: Run For Champions). I looked up and saw similar Countdown Watch on previous LR MB posts. Looks like some manufacturer would be wise to add a tenths feature to their Countdown watches. We'll see....
