Interval Workout Timer TMR05-BA Black

I like this timer. It works every time, and it''s got a loud (and adjustable) beep that''s easy to hear, which makes it perfect for timing my heavy bag workouts. I even like the industrial, retro look-and-feel of the timer. But the user instructions are some of the worst I''ve ever seen. I followed the quick-reference instructions imprinted on the top of the timer as well as the longer paper instructions. They are simply wrong. I tried them multiple times, carefully following each step. They did not work. So I played around with the timer until I figured out the right sequence of buttons to push. I then wrote my own simple and short instructions -just three steps to set up a simple workout. So it turns out the timer really is simple to use -but you''d never know it from the instructions.

I use this timer several times a week and I really like it. If you do any sort of resistance training where you rest X amount of time between sets, but you rest Y amount of time between EXERCISES, then this will work very well for you. Just map one of your times to T1 and another to T2. I think there are even 3 more times you can map under MY TIME, but I don''t use them. This product has gotten some bad marks for its difficulty in configuring, but there''s really nothing to it. It might take you a minute or so to figure out, but it''s about as hard as learning all the features of a digital watch. But then again, I do not use this product for its interval feature, which keeps looping through T1 and T2 a certain number of times, although I can''t imagine that''d be too hard either.

Once you set it up, though, everything is just one button press. For example, T1, START and the time you stored in T1 starts counting down. Once it runs out you get a beep and a flashing light. You can adjust the volume of the beep with the dial on top. At any time you can STOP which will pause the timer, or click T1 or T2, etc to reset the timer to the stored value.

Another plus of this item is that the digits are quite large. There''s also a little mount point for a screw in the back, if you want it on a wall in your home gym.

I bought this timer to break up my heavy bag workouts into rounds. The day I received it, the timer seemed to work fine. There is a small on/off switch on the top and large easy to use buttons on the face. It was not as loud as I had hoped, but probably good enough. The next day the timer was dead. I replaced the batteries and nothing. I think I left the power switch on, but not longer than a day. Patience and troubleshooting lasted about an hour before banging it on the table and giving up. Double checked it a week later with new batteries....nothing.

Great for the price. I should have read description better because I did not realize it does not have a stopwatch mode which is very nice to have for the type of workouts I do. My fault for not reading better but this would be a nice addition to this timer. Overall, pretty satisfied with the purchase.

The product has a solid construction. It worked as advertised. I liked the larger display screen than its competitors. I would recommend it. I have to warned the new user that the instructions are really bad but you can figure out yourself how to use it after a couple weeks of occasional use.
