Interval Timer and Stopwatch - Black/Blue SOFTCOAT

This little device is very useful for timing sets of exercises. You can set the number of reps you want to do, and how long of an interval you want to rest between, and it will buzz to tell you when to stop/start each repetition and will also buzz for a longer time to let you know when you have completed all the reps. Easy to use.

I've only had this a couple of weeks but absolutely love this. I've nick named it "The Motivator" I've been walking, jogging and doing push -ups for about 5 years now. I'm 59 years old and am very routine oriented. I've read about interval training and have always wanted to do sprints and walk but have had some concern and hesitation. Although I do not have any knee problems I just didn't know if my body could handle it. Anyway a few weeks ago I decided to try it. So when at the park I had no time keeper but tried to count 15 seconds while sprinting and 1 minute rest and repeated. After this one lap of that I walked a few laps. I felt so good and invigorated. The next two day's when I went back to the park I did my usual 2 lap walk then did 2 laps of sprints and walk and a final lap of walking (3 mile total). This is fantastic but I know I needed a time keeper, so I looked here on Amazon and found this Gymboss Interval timer. This timer comes with very good instructions to teach how to set it up and use. I absolutely love it. In the few weeks I've adjusted my sprint time from 12 to now 15 seconds keeping the one minute rest. I've also increased the amount of sprints I do in total. This timer actually is motivating me. I can't wait to get back to the park to do my exercise. It has helped to revitalize my workout routine. It's giving me goals to attain and makes my workout fun. It is very light in weight yet feels sturdy. It has a very strong clip with good grab. I clasp it onto my shorts and feel confident that it won't fall off. The audible beeping or vibrate modes (or both at the same time) work very well for the interval training. It is also a stopwatch which I use during my walking laps, and a clock. Great price for all the value it has brought to my workout. Wish I would've gotten this years ago. I highly recommend this timer to anyone looking to revitalize their workout or who just wants a sturdy multi-functional timer.

I needed a timer to so some intervals during workouts. I have an app on my phone, but it wasn't convenient since I like to use that to pump music into my music server. So wanted a standalone timer that was easy to setup and carry around. This Gymboss is pretty easy to set up - in fact easier than the phone app I have. One minor gripe (I have several with the phone app!) is the awkward end of routine timer. You have to press the left-side button twice to stop the alert once the routine is finished. Nice additions are the rubberized finish on the timer and the clip on the back. The fact that it runs on a AAA battery makes it easy to get new batteries as well. All in all a great timer for performing intervals or pretty much any timing need.

I’ve used this timer for over 15 years. The last one I bought had to be changed with the cord it came with. It started dying faster and faster. I decided to buy the version that takes batteries so it will last longer. I teach kickboxing and love this timer for that. I also like how I can change it to intervals. Only thing I don’t like about it is how small it is. I tend to lose it a lot in my huge bag.

Works as intended. Once you learn the controls, it is easy to use! The vibrate function is great can be used alone or with the beep. I personally use this not for working out, but to remind me regularly all day to get up & move around / change positions (I have chronic pain that improves if I do). It also reminds me to stay focused on tasks I need to do. It's wearable, so I never lose it! Very useful!

I use this little device as an interval timer. I have set it up to vibrate every twenty minutes for twelve hours. I have very dry eyes and must keep them hydrated with drops during the day. Not drinking enough fluids affects them also. So every 20 minutes I get a reminder to use my eye drops and take at least a sip of water. I also use it as a reminder to unclench my jaw. (Strange the effect modern life has on the jaw.) Very useful device, but there are some cons: I have not been able to change the clock. It seems to be stuck 7 hours ahead - which I think would be Ukranian time. Strange. The buzz when it vibrates is a bit stronger than necessary. If I leave it on a table rather than keep it in a pocket, it makes quite a racket and is a shock to others who might be in the room. It was really strange to set up. Instructions were cryptic, so it was a combination of trial and error and inspired guess-work. But it is working and doing its job and my eyes are feeling better.

This timer is perfect for my needs. I do a series of orthopedic exercises. For example, I might have to hold a position for 30 seconds, then relax for 10 seconds. And do 5 reps. I can easily set all three of those numbers into the timer, press start, after 30 seconds of holding the position the timer beeps, I relax for 10 seconds and the timer beeps again, then it beeps again to start the next rep, and so on. It beeps repeatedly after the 5th rep to signal that I'm done with the first set. Then I can start the next set with a single push, and go through another series of 5 reps. The only thing I have to count myself is the number of sets. I can watch TV while exercising because this device does all the counting for me, freeing up my mind to pay attention to the TV. Other reviewers have complained about the difficulty of setting this timer. I don't find it difficult. It's a sophisticated timer so I suppose you have to expect at least some complexity in setting it up because it's not just a simple timer. I love it because it makes it so much easier to do my exercises.

Got this for getting back into running to set up walk/run intervals. I'm no longer wear a watch and didn't want to carry my phone or strap it to my arm. Also my phone does not have the specific functionality of this little device where you can set up two intervals of different times as well as a specific number of repeats. I considered getting the wrist or arm band but after reading other reviews decided not to and I really don't think I'd find any benefit in either of them. The Gymboss is just the right size to hold comfortably in my palm, but also clips very securely to any piece of clothing. The clip has a good "grabber" on it so it's not going to fall off even while running. I liked the different volume levels and vibrate option so I can made adjustments if my running environment is noisy (ie city traffic) or quiet (trails). Setup was simple and easy to understand. This device does exactly what it should, no more and no less, making it the perfect purpose built interval timer. I would buy it again without hesitation.
