 Convenient and compact September 8, 2008
Adam (Seattle, WA)
I've read other reviews where people complained about their ring timers not being loud. Rest assured, you will NOT have a problem with the volume on this thing. It is extremely loud. Actually I wish there was a way to adjust the volume, because for the small space I workout in, it's too loud.
It's got very basic operation. The work switch adjust from the Off position to several lengths of time to work. When the work cycle is up, it has a VERY LOUD vaguely similar to a "bell" sound that lets you know the round is over. The rest cycle kicks in at this point, adjustable from 15 seconds up to 60 seconds. I haven't tried intervals yet, but I'm guessing that when the round is over the interval cycle kicks in.
It's very small, about the size of a large clock radio, but it seems to be constructed pretty well, because it's heavy for its size. I'd recommend this for a home gym, and maybe for real gyms too, if they have multiple activities happening in the same space and need distinct sounds for members to follow.

Interval timer is awesome September 24, 2007
Douglas Gallant
This timer is great. For the price I think this is a great value. Other timers I've seen have the same features as this timer and cost quite a bit more. I'm not saying it's perfect, but for the price, you can't beat it. The interval sound is not as distinctive as I would like, but you do get used to the difference.
