^ que? its a small display in the corner of the goggle, you don't even notice its there... And you certainly don't stare at it while riding.
-edit- go try a pair on and get back to me.
A five dollar kitchen timer, a spare front shifter, and a momentary switch. Cut off the shifter body and epoxied the switch so that the toggle is pretty much exactly where the shift lever was. Opened up the timer, soldered some wires onto the start button and drilled a couple holes so I could zip-tie it to the bars. Only real issue was the lack of waterproofing, which I could have probably solved if I lived somewhere that really required it.
Didn't Shimano already produce something like what you are asking for?
One of their higher end Flight Deck computers had a remote control button close to the grip and could be set up so this button would start/stop the timer.
It is a road product but I can remember Nico V. was rumored of using it for self-timing.

yep i still have one of these but it has the same problems as the moto timer in that it is very hard to tell when you have actually started or stopped it.

There is so much room for simple electronics in bikes right now. A few bluetooth enabled transmitters and an Android phone and you get get massive amounts of info about speed and power and cadence. A few really cheap accelerometers and position sensors built into your fork and shock and you could get detailed suspension data.
It's really worth the time to do. I made something similar with the help of a friend, and it provided the feedback I was looking for. I want to offer the service at race venues so the athletes can feel what it's like to have properly tuned suspension.
