I have a couple of G Shocks. If you like, I can send you one to test out before you go blowing any money on one?
Toughest darned watches on the planet, but if it won't do what you need it to then it doesn't mean a thing, does it?

I might take you up on that Def, thanks.
After A LOT of searching I have managed to find that the one I am keen on, the Mudman, has it's stopwatch as the first option of it's modes, so it is simply a 2 button press. That would be ok.
I have emailed them as well. Will be interested if I get a reply. 
Well the site said "If your email requires a response, one of our staff will reply in 1 business day" and shockingly enough, I have had no response!

So I guess I am back to you guys again.
I noticed that eodtech sold a mudman not long ago to someone. Are they still here? Is the stopwatch easy and fast to put on? I have heard the buttons are hard to press.
