Mastermind Watch?
Lawschooli came out with a new LSAT watch similar to the 180Watch, but it looks like it's much higher quality. has anyone bought it and can provide some feedback on it? I'm inclined to buy it but would like to hear what people who already have it think about it.
for those who don't know about it, here's a vid on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhVcacrBM-s (it's $65 but if you use the code LAUNCH, it's $55 with free shipping!)

I just put a red nail polish dot on the 35-minute mark on some regular old watch I had. Worked just fine as a visual aid while taking the actual LSAT.

Re: Mastermind Watch?
I bought this watch on a whim and I'm very pleased with its performance. I had the Perfect Score Watch (v1, I believe) and I wasn't impressed with the method of resetting the watch. Over time, the dial became harder to use and it was difficult to get it reset exactly to zero. When the mastermind watch first came, it wasn't calibrated correctly, but that was an easy enough fix. I got it in black (would probably recommend white. Seems like it would be easier to read, though I may just be used to the Perfect Score Watch). The only thing I don't like about it is that it has two separate dials, so to speak. The large hand counts the minutes on the outer edge of the watch while another, smaller hand counts seconds in a second circle, much like where you might find the date or month on some watches. Compared to the Perfect Score Watch, I think this is a drawback, since the minute hand does not move continuously or fluidly, but rather jumps to the next minute after 60 seconds have passed. It is also fairly expensive for a watch, but I have plenty of people in my undergrad program I could sell it to after the test is over. Overall, I think the benefits greatly outweigh those issues.

that's my friend!
SHE bought it and loves it. She basically says it is better than the 180 because when you reset it accidentally before it is paused it doesn't mess the watch up. I guess this is something the 180 Watch did. I am also thinking of pulling the trigger on buying one of these within the next month or so.

Re: Mastermind Watch?
Ooh just got a message from LSAC saying I need to make sure my admission ticket photo is in order. I'll probably take a new one since my hair is a bit longer now. I really don't get the point of having a ticket photo though. If a fraud managed to procure passable government documents, surely they could manage an LSAC photo...

Re: Mastermind Watch?

is there a purpose for the middle button (the one that turns a watch off on a regular watch)?TahaRiz wrote:Well, it's been awhile since I exposed myself to TLS lol. Anyway, yeah this is my review but I'm a femaleBobLobLaw11 wrote:This guy on 7sage reviewed it, seems legit.

Re: Mastermind Watch?
You mean the dial? If you pull it out and click the two buttons, you can change where the watch starts from. For example, you can adjust it to reset at the ten minute mark instead of the zero. Not necessary for LSAT purposes, but it was very helpful for me since my watch came set a few minutes ahead and I was able to recalibrate it.proteinshake wrote:is there a purpose for the middle button (the one that turns a watch off on a regular watch)?TahaRiz wrote:Well, it's been awhile since I exposed myself to TLS lol.

Nope! No need to do anything except pause it so it's not running.proteinshake wrote:thanks! so it only uses battery when i'm actually timing myself? i don't need to pull the dial out right?LSRAT wrote:You mean the dial?

Re: Mastermind Watch?
Oh! I didn't know about that feature, it totally works! I am trying to push myself to do 30 min and 25 min on retakes for section work so its great to be able to move it and then do the reset. I saw the video about collaborating it, but never thought about moving it to 5 or 10 to start. Thanks!proteinshake wrote:LSRAT wrote:proteinshake wrote:TahaRiz wrote:You mean the dial?

Re: Mastermind Watch?
Received my MasterMind Watch this morning (I ordered the black dial):
No complaints. Would definitely recommend! The watch was extremely easy to use. I felt that while I was PTing today it only took a quick glance and I could easily see where I what my pace was on the section. The reset button was great and swift for resetting in between sections. I think the black dial made it easy to see the colors and numbers efficiently. Also, the watch was good quality wise (better than I expected). The only thing that I would say is a potential issue for some is if you have big or fat wrists the band might be short. I am 6'4 and I was on the second to last hole on the leather band. Not an issue for me, but i can reckon this might be an issue for some; However, you could always swap the bands out or keep it on your desk, if thats the case.
5/5 . Highly recommended

Re: Mastermind Watch?
Hello,
Are any of you finished with taking the LSAT and willing to ship one to me for a price? I'll cover shipping and even will add an extra $20 or something reasonable to whatever you paid for it.
My address is in Devon, PA (19333)
Would really appreciate it as I'm taking the february exam in a couple weeks.
Please let me know.
If it's easier my email is ibarae13@gmail.com
Thanks
