Chronograph under $100

It's time for a chronograph, what's the best I can do for under $100?

I bought a prochrono pal a year or so ago. Can't remember the exact price, but it was under $100 and works as advertised.

The Caldwell Ballistic chronograph I bought last year works really well and the free app it uses takes a lot of work out of collecting the data. I would recommend it to anyone.

I have this.

http://www.walmart.com/ip/F1-Chronograph/4382668

It has been decent. At times I get readings that are nonsense. But that is rare. Only a 2-3 times in the 4-5 years I've owned it. The rest of the time it is very usable and I don't feel I wasted my money.

But, if I were buying today I'd get this.

In fact I'm tempted to just buy another and try to sell my old one

F1 Shooting Chrony from Amazon

I bought one of these after I shot my last one. Arrived on time and works just like the one I shot before I shot it.

$73.95

Thanks for the input guys. I'll try out the Caldwell so I can use the free app.
