Beautiful but not durable

Looks good. But once I tucked it under my shirt on a winter run (because I didn't have a lapel to fasten it) and sweat must have seeped into the device. Half of the display stopped working almost immediately, and shortly after that the interval alerts were intermittent at best. I missed the window to return it so I threw it away and got one from Jeff Galloway's website - it was sweaty and rainy and still works like a champ even after wearing it under my shirt.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Discontinued

Amazingly quiet beep and vibration settings great

I use this to work with horses. I was afraid the louder timers and beeps would startle them, and I didn't need a device that kept alarming until I turn it off. It's perfect. You can choose a simple short beep, a loud beep, a vibration, or a combination of both. It's great that I can just give a quick beep and vibrate so I can hear it, but it doesn't startle the horses or require my hands to turn off the sound. Easy to program and the perfect little timer that doesn't just alarm.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • reliability

perfect for splits

I didn't want to buy an expensive fancy watch with lots of features for splits. I use this on my morning runs: 6 minute run, then 3 minute jog, 90 minutes total. Perfect! Small and clipped to my running tights, the vibrate and sound feature is perfect for letting me know when to move on to the next interval. I enjoy my morning runs more, now more focused on the sunrise, the view and the friendliness of the other runners than always checking my watch!

Pros
  • great price
Cons
  • security

Difficult to set intervals

Bought this timer for interval training. I like this timer but it's hard to set up. It doesn't have very helpful instructions, but you can find some good videos on YouTube. I accidentally messed up my gym timer settings and then can't use them again until I watch the YouTube video again and set it again. The more I use it, the easier it might become to use. Stopwatch and clock functions are simple. The interval settings aren't that much. FYI, for intervals you can only set one value for workโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • There are downsides

ADHD users. I also want the clock to be always visible. The rest is great.

I've been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder through medication, but if you're in the same boat you know these are tools that help, not a miracle cure. Self-discipline is still required and this timer helps me stay focused. I set it to odd intervals so it always turns off. When I'm in a meeting that's dragging on, it's a good nudge to take stock and hang up. I thought about going for white which is more medicinal and not so noticeable in the office but decided on purple and pink to makeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Durable Surface
Cons
  • Periodicity

Too small and too small volume

After seeing all the great reviews on this product I was shocked. I'm not impressed at all. I bought this along with my Everlast interval timer but I had to go ahead and buy another one of these. First, this thing is SMALL. It's so small that you can hardly press the buttons. It is made for children's hands. It's confusing for programming, but worst of all, it's so damn quiet you can't hear it! There's just that tiny beep even when you turn up the volume. I listen to music when I work out andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Hard to say

Great for distance

I love this Gymboss! It shows the perfect time for my run in marathons and half marathons. I don't have to keep an eye on my watch all the time as it has a beeping sound and you can also set it to vibrate, so when you're listening to music you feel like it's clacking off at set intervals for as long as you have it. close to your skin so you can feel it. I wear it on a water bottle strap on the back of my hand. I love that you can set it to 0-10 beeps for an alarm. I don't go beyond two as itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Love Gymboss interval timer

This is actually the second Gymboss interval timer I've bought. And it's not like my first one broke, but it wasn't! I bought my first one from the Gymboss website almost 5 years ago. Honestly I think this is a first generation model. And it still works just as well as it did the day it was launched. Trouble is, I take mine everywhere. This includes when I travel so I can continue my interval training and HIIT workouts. However, this means that my stepdaughter does not have it. Being new toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
