Are you taking about wrist watches or a stopwatch you can wear around your neck?

If wrist watches I have some recommendations (I’m into wristwatches myself so sorry if I get a bit too excited). What is your budget?

I like to wear chronograph watches while I’m working directly with clients. That way I can start timing something right from my wrist and stop it with the same ease. All of our RBTs have tablets for data entry but a lot of the time (especially during bx) I find this to be faster.

Anyway depending on what you would like to spend there are a few options.

If you want a digital watch I would recommend any of the Casio G-Shocks. They are rugged, will take a beating and have a stopwatch function, most of them with lap/split time functions. They come in a huge range of both prices and features but they’re all great.

If analogue is your style (mine is) then I have a few recommendations. I was wearing the Timex Expedition Field Chronograph for a while. It’s a great watch for the price (about $40 or so) but it has a brass case and will get dented, as well as having a more scratch prone crystal. Currently I wear a Citizen Avion Chronograph , which is stainless steel and solar powered (so you don’t have to fiddle with a battery change every two years). It’s a bit pricey if you’re not into watches, about $140, and although it has a stainless steel case it’s crystal is not as scratch resistant as more expensive watches will be. I also sometimes wear a Seiko SSC031 which also has a chronograph but is a bit pricey (it’s a dive watch).

Of course you don’t need any of those. A cheap $10 watch or a $5 stopwatch will do the trick. I just like watches.

I have found the APA style manual (pg. 128-150) and Nicol and Pexman's book helpful in designing tables and figures.

Off the top of my head:

• put the table number and title in the body of the text, and dbl space
  
  
• remove all vertical borders (5.17 in style manual)
  
  
• if you are presenting "rates across conditions", then one of your columns should display conditions (or call this "rates under different criterions")
  
  
• did you provide tasks as a reinforcer? if so, then column two is OK but you might want to consider reducing the text to make it easier to read at-a-glance
  
  
• if possible, try to make each row have the same width height (kinda relates to 5.17 in style manual, with regard to white space)
  
  Edit: See above (though it might be good to balance the widths of the columns too).

My company uses these and attaches them together with a carabiner clip that you clip on wherever:

You could also get finger counters like these that can be worn on multiple fingers:

My company provides us with iPads equipt with this case and I love it. We only use our tablets for data collection & notes because all of our clients have their own tablets.
I honestly love how it's not extremely thick and the strap is extremely useful as well. No one else in my company uses the strap but I find it useful as I can just swing the tablet to my back when m my client tantrums and I can record data immediately instead of remembering it until i get in reach of my tablet.

Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life by Steve Hayes is a good place to start.

Hot Logic Mini - 12V Version - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074TZKCCV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_N9WFDbV2PEJRP this has been a lifesaver for me! Plug it in to your cigarette lighter before leaving your client’s home. I usually drive 30 mins between clients and it’s warm by the time I get to my next. It allows me to take leftovers

I’ve seen this one used quite a bit and hold up when dropped.

definitely get a screen protector as well to prevent the glass from shattering.

Would love to see the human right's committee presentation on using Endgame spoilers as an aversive. But truly, careful for fallout.

This helped me a LOT! And I could do a clicker in each pocket if I had to take frequency data on multiple behaviors.
