Editorial Review:
Ideal for workouts using heavy bags, speed bags, jump ropes, double-end bags or other type of interval training at the gym or home.
PROS
*Flick of a switch for 2 or 3min rounds and 30 to 1 min rests. Really quick and simple way of setting number of rounds and duration
*Has a warning bell before the end of the round.
*I'd stay its pretty sturdy as i've dropped it a few times/stored it in the bottom of my bag and after 6 months of abuse and mishandling it's still ringing. Battery life seems good as well.
CONS
*The bell is pretty loud but is often drowned out by background noise during heavy work outs (ie blaring music, people screaming-haha) so for personal use you have to clip it on ur person with vibrate mode. Sadly the clip becomes easily dislodged and the arm strap gets in the way. This is no design fault just basic practicality. Not really a con as such but worth a mention.
All in all its a good, basic, portable backup timer that's easy and fast to use and is decent value for money.
When it actually works, it is marginally useful.
- Workout times and rounds can be adjusted for either 2 or 3 minutes and from 1 to 12 rounds with 30-60 seconds rest in between rounds
- Built in vibration and ring gong features alert you of the end of each round
- Easy to use and can be strapped around your arm or stand alone
- Requires 3 cell batteries (included)
- 1-year warranty

poor quality
The thing never worked, right out of the package. It counts down alright, but the buzzer and vibrator do not work at all. Junk, dont waste your money. 2008-06-05

Not worth the expense and effort.
Poorly assembled, the one I purchased did not work. I exchanged it and the second worked for several workouts, then stopped working. I exchanged that one, and the third works when I can get a battery to stay in it. The battery does not fit properly, and will often pop out, knocking the battery cover loose in the process.
When it actually works, it is marginally useful.

vibrate mode
Its a great portable timer but I was disappointed that the vibrate mode does not turn off the obnoxious bell sound. You would assume they would be two separate modes like on a cell phone but when I used the vibrate, the bell kept ringing with it. 2008-03-24
