Gymboss miniMAX Interval Timer and Stopwatch - GREEN / YELLOW SOFTCOAT

Purchased this to use pomodor technique to work for 20 min and to rest for 5 min. I hope this will at least keep me aware that the Time keeps flying all the time.

This is absolutely fantastic! Has all the functions you need to support a rock solid workout. Especially with a silicone case to make it sturdy enough for outdoor use, and a arm band so you can comfortably use it on your runs. All for less than Rs. 3200 when you buy from their US website and ship it to your home in India. Yes, including shipping from US.

I should start by saying that I've had multiple gymbosses and have found the past models to be terrible. they weren't sweatproof, the buttons were horribly tight and always hurt my fingers to program, they were chunky, i just disliked them. And I kept replacing them after they broke hoping that the next one would be the one to make it past 2 weeks (I know, bad life choices)! Finally, having learned my lesson (I'm a tough study, it took 3 tries), I decided I would use my iphone, but that's tiresome for a number of reasons (eg I listen to music so I have to keep looking at my phone for the interval change since I can't hear it, it sucks up iphone battery to have a timer constantly running, and it's cumbersome when running outside). So I gave in and decided to give this latest model a try, bc I really missed having a real deal interval timer. Boy am I glad I did; here are the highlights: 1)Sweatproof: I sweat like nobody's business when I run (thanks pre-workout!), I know, super charming. But the fact of the matter is, so do a lot of you, so you're gonna want something that doesnt go wonky or all out break when exposed to your workout wetness. I keep this clipped to my tank strap and facing my shoulder, so it's practically marinating (again, totally charming, I know) and it's held up perfectly. And as an aside, I use it 5-6x/week and 30min-90min/time. 2)Durable: I'm also crazy clumsy and have dropped this guy while on my bike outside, i've accidentally launched it across the gym and I've tripped and landed on it. Still ticking! 3)Perfect size: small enough to keep in your palm or clip anywhere. but big enough to read the screen and menu. super light so you don't feel weighed down by anything extra when running. 4)Programability: you can have as many intervals as you want AND save them (maybe a short interval high impact combo, a steady state with a few med length interval combo, a 5 interval for plyo combos, whatever you want!!). I love that you can save them and don't have to reprogram every time. And of course there is a straight up stopwatch feature. 5)Ease: ok, i see some people complaining that it's hard to program. I found it easy, but I'm a child of the computer generation, raised on Ti82's and RPGs. I watched the youtube video of "how to basics" and then fiddled with it for like 15min. After that, it was cake. I can set up a multi interval set in less than a minute. I guess it depends on your level of comfort with stuff like that. 6) Adorable: lots of cute color combos. love my lemon lime, reminds me there's always a mojito waiting for me in my future. So overall, yeah, I think this thing rocks and it's waaaaay better than the older models (if you're like me and pawing through reviews before throwing more cash at another gymboss, please rest assured, this is an upgrade). And it's definitely my first choice over using my phone or larger timers. I would recommend to anyone! Happy Gyming!

Super pour tout types d'entraînements, boxes, musculation, cardio training, fractionné, Tabata... Je le recommande pour tout ceux qui veulent s'entraîner tout seul, sans se prendre la tête à regarder le temps de travail qu'il reste. Très bien en attendant une montre GPS qui coûte relativement cher !!!

Ottimo timer. A mio avviso, indispensabile per chi fa sport. Si possono pianificare gli intervalli con un'infinità di possibilità. C'è un avvisato acustico con possibilità di vibrazione (Ottimo se si corre all'aperto in ambiente rumoroso). C'è la possibilità di "attaccarlo" ai pantaloncini tramite clip. Insomma completo...ottimo prodotto.

passt auf, dass er nicht herunter fällt, das tut der Vibrationsfunktion nicht gut

Great item to introduce me back in to running using 30s/30s on/off intervals. It can be set up for a variety of interval work. I wasn't sure initially about the use of batteries with all the chargeable watches etc nowadays, but they last a long time!!! Nice and comfy once the had plastic strap eases into the shape of your wrist :-) (extra purchase, not included with the item itself). Good clear vibration and /or beep for you to know when to start the next interval instead of having to keep watching the screen.
