ACCUSPLIT®, an American company,
invented the first hand-held digital stopwatch in 1972.

W. Ron Sutton, the ACCUSPLIT, CEO, saw
the need to add Memory to the digital stopwatch
because some events required accurate tracking
of split times and finish times, too rapid or numerous
to capture during the event, manually.

Witnessing a competition timing of a hurdle race
with rapid “Touch Down Splits” would prove that
ACCUSPLIT memory stopwatches would fill
an important need and become #1 in the world.
