Gymboss Timer

Anyone had any experience with the Gymboss? It looks like a nice little unit.

Its not a bad unit and a good idea but I find it fiddly at times.Resetting it can be a pain and the buttons are not that sensitive.I find myself pushing down hard on the buttons to stop/reset it.....although I guess some people would be happy if they wear it upon shorts etc and might somehow turn it off by accident...Well worth the money though overall.

I like my little Gymboss. For the price, it can't be beat.

for the price, I wish it was better made. Had to throw mine out, dropped it once and it died. Very very cheap plasticky casing...shame because it really is a very functional timer..

Good and really versatile for the price...beats the hell out of buying a $100 interval timer from Ringside or something...

Only cons I'd give are that the buttons are REALLY small, so it's a bit hard to mess with if you're wearing boxing gloves and it can be a bit hard to hear if you're banging away on the bag or have music on...

Great freaking deal, though...well worth the $20 or so you'll spend on it...

Excellent timer, nice loud alarm (has a vibrate option). Cheap plastic case, but hasn't failed yet.

Don't buy the everlast timer!!
