I considered a lot of different gym timers while shopping for my home gym and was astonished at the price ranges, which went up to $300! I almost purchased one for double the cost of this one, but it went out of stock just before I could order it. As it turns out, I’m really glad that I missed out on that one.I’ve had this timer for about a week now and have completed several workouts using different timer settings.Before making the purchase, I reached out to the seller with a couple of questions. They responded within a few hours, confirming that the warranty was for 1 year and even emailed me a PDF of the instructions that I requested.Upon receiving it, I found the timer and its components were well-protected in the box. I was surprised at how lightweight the timer is. This is probably the only “con” for the timer; it’s definitely not something that you’d describe as durable. But for an item that’s just going to hang on the wall, it really doesn’t need to be.I was concerned that using the remote to edit the various timer options would be difficult, but it turned out to be quite straightforward. After setting the clock and quickly glancing through the instructions, I became familiar enough with the remote to confidently set everything.The timer has many features that I believe meet or exceed those of other, more expensive options:- The left side, green LEDs have more LEDs than most, allowing for better symbols that make the programming clearer.- Brightness adjustment with ambient light sensing for auto-dimming, which I think is a unique feature.- Four levels of volume adjustment, plus a mute option. From what I’ve seen with other timers, you typically only get two levels of adjustment.- Instead of a buzzer, the timer uses speakers, providing three different sound options (buzzer 3, voice, buzzer 1).- A prep countdown that defaults to 10 seconds and can be adjusted up to 99.- A round countdown that defaults to 3 seconds and can be adjusted up to 99.- A coin cell battery in the timer saves your settings in case of a power outage. Apart from portable timers, I didn’t see a battery backup option on many other timers.- Round counting during interval workouts. You would think this would be standard on all gym timers, but my research found that this is not the case.The timer is the perfect size for my home gym and is very easy to read.I really can’t see any reason why I wouldn’t buy this timer again. The price is right, and the features/usability are excellent.
