Gymboss Charge Interval Timer and Stopwatch

I use this to keep me honest while doing Physical Therapy reps. It also lets the trainer know when I've finished a rep so they can work with someone else until I "come up for air." It is easy to change the setting to match what the trainer wants and I can set a beep so "everyone" knows where I'm at in the cycle or use the vibrate setting to keep things quiet. Love the rechargeable version. I've used this every day for a month and it still shows a full charge. Uses USB micro to recharge. Had an AAA cell version before and that worked the same way, but I think the Charge is worth the few extra $. The backlight comes on automatically when first activated and stays on if you are programming the intervals, but turns off while running. Makes it easy to set changing intervals on the fly. I keep one in my gym bag so I'll always have it, and one at home for the days when I don't have a PT session.

Got it fast, holds charge for a long time, so easy to set up (and I am not techy!).

Great timer. It remembers your setup from previous use which is nice. The directions that come with it are in 6 different languages but aren't in great detail. I would highly suggest visiting their website (gymboss.com) and look under Help for detailed setup and use instructions.I heard about this timer at a fastpitch softball umpire clinic. The rules state that teams are only allowed 1 minute between innings and the defense can be penalized if they take longer. Teams were taking 2 to 3 minutes between innings so umpires are now encouraged by the National Federation to enforce the 1 minute rule.Umpires are using this timer to set up 2 alarms running back to back, 45 seconds for pitcher to warm up and 15 seconds for catcher to throw down. So I'm trying it out. When I press the Start button, these two alarms run. At 45 sec, I feel the vibration from the belt clip and tell the catcher to throw down. What I like about the Vibrate setting is first, being outside, I may not hear the alarm and secondly, you can set the length of vibration. I have mine set at 2 seconds so I don't miss it. All I have to remember to do now is hit the start button at the end of each inning to begin the timer.

I have some repetitive cycles of PT exercises and it’s easier to use this timer than setting my fit bit or phone as you can just touch a button to restart instead of having to swipe a screen or fiddle with having to get a screen back up. I would prefer a batter instead of ISB charging. Have not had it long into see how long a charge lasts.

Very useful for maintaining consistent intervals between sets. This version is rechargeable and the battery lasts a very long time. The beep is also loud enough to hear even in the noisy gym environment.

Exactly what I needed for my HIIT workout!Simple and effective. Small readout but mainly listening for the beeps, so still gets a 5

I originally purchased my first Gymboss unit back in 2010. My wife and I used the interval "walk-run" setting to train for our first marathon. We used it so often, we purchased another one for a his and hers companion. Then life got in the way and I put consistent running sessions on a shelf for years. So the Gymboss units sat in a drawer. After some time of sitting dormant ,for at least 5 years, one of the units lost it ability to vibrate, which is my preferred alert. The other was loaned/given to a friend who wanted to do interval exercise routines.After getting back into running in the last month, I knew it was time to get a new Gymboss. The new unit has a sturdier and more durable look, fit and finish. It is also a more polished and refined appearance. It has the updated rechargeable battery and a very visible backlight digital display. The new unit works and performs just as it should. It really helps by reminding me to take my scheduled 30 second interval walk. Just enough time to recover for my next run interval. It is simple to program with the supplied directions. If you any difficulties with programing, there are numerous Youtube videos on "how to" for the Gymboss unit. It is a cheap and long lasting running companion that gives you the gentle reminder to not over do it. Conversely, it also reminds you to "get back at it". I love this helpful little friend !
