nice watch with a sweeping second hand


Hi,

Are any of you required to wear a watch with a sweeping second hand in order to take bp? If so, please let me know the name of the watch as we are required to have one for school.

Thank you

FutureNurseMan

Think you have your vitals mixed up there Nurseman. You'll need a sweeping second hand to count a pulse. It can be done just as easily with any digital watch that displays seconds.
Walmart / Kmart etc all have watches

Future nurse - I found a great watch with a second hand at Target. It was like $15.00 I think. I don't know the name of the brand, but they had all kinds.

if any one knows were to find a real, genuine SWEEP second hand, that is the sort that moes smothly in continuos motion, not the second by second variety, i would be most pleased to know.....and i assume that is the sort that the OP is looking for as well.....hard to find

I haven't seen a sweep second hand in a long time...ok..scratch that, I did recently, it was a Rolex! I too, have been looking for a sweeping second hand, that tick, tick, tick, of the second hand drives me crazy.

I believe all rolex watches have the smooth sweep movement of the second hand...pretty sweet if you have the cash.
I think omega watches also sweep but you are looking at thousands of dollars for those too...good luck with your search.

I appreciate everyone's input. I am starting to get the idea! I have done research and couldn't find anything. At least I know it isn't just me.
