Gymboss Interval Timer and Stopwatch - Violet/Pink Metallic Gloss

Highly recommend for people who want to start basic run training or just starting to get fit. Simple and keeps you on target.

Several months ago I bought a pricey running watch for the specific purpose of using the interval timer. The watch worked fine, and was easy to use, but the timer beep was very quiet, and if there was any noise or traffic sounds near me, I was unable to hear the beeps at all. Since the timer was the primary reason for me purchasing the watch, it became useless to me. I saw the Gymboss Interval Timer on a running site, and later found it on Amazon, and decided to give it a try. It was very easy to set up and use. I love that it has an option for a quiet or loud beep volume, and best of all, it also has a vibrate option, which is a great alternative to the beeper. You can also use both beep and vibrate if you choose to do so. I also appreciate the large clear display. This item arrived sooner than promised. This is a purchase I am glad I made.

When my Down’s syndrome sister became ill, she had no appetite. We needed to feed her small amounts often. This was perfect for that! I was able to set the minutes to how often I wanted to feed her and have it set so it constantly reminds me when her next feeding is. So much easier than having to watch the clock, plus you can clip it on so you can do other things. I also set the alarm to 9 seconds so I wouldn’t miss hearing it if I didn’t clip it on.

You must buy the silicon cover or your sweat or rain will fry the unit. I had one replaced by the company under warrant and was informed that a cover must be used. Why not sell the cover with the unit then?? Unfortunately the 2nd unit crapped out after 2 years and constant use. The plastic fell apart around the buttons. Not sure if this is just cheap plastic or if the silicon cover kept moisture trapped near the buttons and broke it down. If this lasted longer I would give it 5 stars. Love the simple intervals, loudness of beeps and the vibrate function when I am wearing ear pods. It just needs to last longer.

Use it for run walk excerise

It serves the purpose it was designed for.

This is actually the second Gymboss interval timer I have bought. And it's not because my first one broke - because it didn't!I bought my first one almost 5 years ago from the Gymboss website. I believe it is a first generation model to be honest. And it still functions as well as it did the day it arrived. The issue is that I take mine everywhere I go. This includes when I go on travel so I can continue to run my intervals and do my HIIT workouts. However, it means that my step-daughter doesn't have one. Since she is new to running - having this interval timer with us when we go out on our training runs is essential. But when I go on travel, it means that she stops doing her runs.Last weekend was her first 5K. As a reward for sticking with the run, even when it got hard, I decided I'd get her her very own Gymboss timer. I'm thrilled they have more colors now because purple/pink are some of her favorite colors. Add the shiny enhancements and this was a win for both of us. Now she loves her Gymboss as much as I do.These timers are easy to set up, durable, and lightweight. They vibrate hard if you set it to that, and the beep is loud enough to hear over my headphones. I set mine to both vibrate and beep as a safety precaution, but I've never had an issue in 5 years of running in all types of weather. I highly recommend these little devices if you are in need of a serious interval timer.

This item works fine except the side button is very difficult to press. Extremely annoying. I do not recommend this item
