Today’s Tech Tuesday item is the unassuming and considerably low-tech digital stopwatch. My favorite is this cherry red model from Radio Shack (RIP). It sits in my right hand during VO sessions - clocking takes with accuracy. Why this particular stopwatch? The buttons are smooth and quiet, it doesn’t beep (after removing the tinny speaker), and it fits perfectly in the palm of my hand. This stopwatch is so much better than any other that I decided to purchase two backups when Radio Shack went out of business.

If you miss Radio Shack like I do, share a memory in the comments. Did your parent drag you there as a kid? Or maybe you were a member of the Radio Shack Battery Club? Was you first computer a TRS-80?
