...why not a heart rate monitor with a stopwatch?
i have an amazing fitness heart rate monitor that has a stopwatch setting. it's pretty badass if i do say so myself. the brand is Polar. i believe there may be one or two around that price range.

I have a Polar heart rate monitor, it has a stopwatch setting, keeps track of your workouts each week (including the total calorie count, avg heart rate, max heart rate and total time of your workouts), and also a regular watch setting. Mine was about $100 but it is probably the best tool for working out besides a personal trainer, helps you track your process so well.
One thing to consider is don't buy a heart rate monitor watch that you have to hold your fingers on to get your heart rate. Think about buy the one with the chest strap. It's a bit annoying at times but stopping your workout to check your heart rate is ridiculous and if you are in any kind of shape it drops by the time you get a reading, so it is inaccurate, whereas the chest strap constantly monitors you.
