Good basic timer - low volume

This is a good basic timer and I carry it in my shirt pocket a lot for many reasons. The controls are simple and intuitive. My only problem is the very low volume of the piezo buzzer. Since this is a fairly high frequency, the volume isn't great for my old man. Battery LR1130 (small alkaline button cell). I continue to use it often, but not in noisy environments. After 18 months of use, primarily for grilling: 1 - I notice that I see all eights or "E--" when the timer is not at the ideal viewing angle. After buying a new patio table, I can no longer correctly position the viewing time of the display because the angle of the corner has become sharper (more square) than the previous one. Several viewers noticed battery issues. The battery had to be changed after a little over a year. The battery is listed as LR1130 which is an alkaline cell also known as AG10, LR54, SR54, SR1130W or Energizer: 189 387 389 390 (according to LR1130.com). Since I have calculators and timers that use this battery, I usually have some on hand. There is at least one complaint that after exceeding the desired time, it takes 99 minutes to reset. You can also reset by pressing the Min and Sec buttons at the same time. The meter goes back to 0. My poor ears still have sound issues, but I have good eyesight (but only at the right viewing angle!) so I can see the end of the timer loop.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
