Review on Samshow Channels Stopwatch Adjustable Magnetic by Aretha May

Good value for money, a few annoyances

Overall this timer is good value for money, I really can't complain about the price. It is very easy to use and quite intuitive. All three timers can be started independently in countdown mode. This means you can start and stop each of the three timers individually. I find this very useful for timing different things around the house (watering plants, washing cycles, etc.). Here are my two biggest annoyances. First is the clip/stand on the back. I assume most people will attach this to their fridge with the magnets provided, but I have mine on my wooden table so I use the clip/stand on the back. The problem is that it's very easy to accidentally turn off the timer and the stand will collapse. Second, I think this is my biggest complaint. When setting each timer value, you CANNOT just press and hold the time increase button (hour, minute, second) and start automatically. That is, if you need a timer for say 45 minutes, press the minute button 45 times. This annoys me a lot and I'm surprised by this as I've used other old digital timers in the past that had this feature of just holding down a button and automatically increasing the time until you release the button. But can you complain too much at the price?
