Is there a stop watch or wrist watch that you can start and stop at a mile post and it will convert that time into speed mph??

Asking for work related.. We have a chart that you can look at if you just use a normal watch with second hand but just curious if there were any devices out there (not dealing with phone or apps because we can't use those) that will do this.

Thanks

if you know the distance is exactly a mile then its pretty simple math

The human brain should be able to figure this out pretty easily.

Divide 60 by the time in minutes, that will give mph assuming the distance was 1 mile.

Basically multiply the time in minutes by 60 and that gives you mph

I dont normally pile on the OP in these types of threads, but damn.

Its called "miles per hour" for crying out loud.

I have a tach on my Tag... it's about 46 seconds a mile at 75mph... I don't know what this means or how it can help you.

If he is clocking in seconds he can just do (3600/Secs). No?
