The right digital watch depends on how you plan to use it. A basic model is ideal for everyday timekeeping, while advanced options offer timers, alarms and training features for active lifestyles. Whether you're after reliable everyday timekeeping or extra features for training, there's a digital watch to suit your routine. Explore Decathlon Australia's range of digital watches.
Work out what you actually time. A split-timer, on the W200, covers laps and set distances. The W500S adds interval mode with 5 phases and saves your last 5 sessions, so you can build structured workouts and review them. If your training is simple, split timing is plenty. If you run intervals, the extra features save you fiddling mid-session.
Build and durability
Match the build to how you'll treat it. The W200 is robust and fully repairable, so a worn part gets replaced rather than binned. The W500 family uses a tougher case for harder training. If you want a watch that lasts years with the odd repair, repairability is the deciding factor. For everyday use, either holds up well.
Water resistance
Decide where you'll wear it. All three carry a 5 ATM rating, so rain, sweat and surface swimming are fine. Buttons work underwater too. If you train in the pool, that rating has you covered. Just avoid pressing buttons below the surface beyond the rated depth.
Battery type
Decide between replaceable and rechargeable. Many digital watches, including these, run for a long time on a coin battery you can have swapped rather than charging nightly. If you'd rather not think about charging, replaceable batteries suit you. Check the product page for the battery type before you buy.
Everyday watch wearers. The basic digital watch gives you everything you need without unnecessary extras. Reliable timekeeping, solid everyday durability and straightforward maintenance make it perfect if you want reliable timekeeping without unnecessary features.
Regular active wearers. The mid-range digital watch offers practical features for people who stay active throughout the week. A stopwatch, alarm and backlight make it suitable for regular training as well as everyday wear.
Demanding users and outdoor types. The advanced digital watch is designed for those who spend more time training or enjoying the outdoors. Features such as step counting, activity tracking and water resistance provide additional support across a range of activities.
Keep your digital watch in good shape
Regular care can help keep your digital watch performing at its best. After exercise or exposure to water, wipe it clean with a soft cloth and allow it to dry completely before storing it. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this may affect the display and battery over time. When needed, clean your watch with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let it air dry. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use. Decathlon digital watches are backed by a 2-year warranty for added peace of mind.

What's the difference between a digital sports watch and a stopwatch?
A digital sports watch keeps the time and date while adding split timing, alarms and countdowns. A stopwatch is just a timer. With a sports watch, you get everyday timekeeping and session timing in one device, rather than carrying a separate stopwatch.
Can I use a digital watch for interval training?
Yes. Some sports watches have interval mode with customisable phases and save your session data so you can build a work-and-rest structure and review it afterwards. If you run structured sessions, look for one with interval training capability.
Are Decathlon digital watches waterproof for swimming?
What's the difference between a digital watch and a smartwatch?
Can I replace the battery myself?
Yes. Sports watches rated to 5 ATM (50m) cover surface swimming, showers, rain and sweat. The buttons work underwater too. Just avoid pressing them below the surface beyond the rated depth.
A digital watch focuses on the essentials: time, alarms, stopwatch and timers, with a battery that lasts and nothing to charge nightly. A smartwatch adds notifications, activity tracking and apps, but needs regular charging. If you want reliable timing without the upkeep, a digital watch is simpler.
These watches use a replaceable coin battery, so there's no nightly charging. When the display dims, the battery can be swapped rather than the watch replaced. To keep the water resistance intact, it's best to have the change done by a watch technician.
