GymbossminiMAX Interval Timer and Stopwatch - GREEN/YELLOW SOFTCOAT

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.

Brilliant little device which helps you to manage your interval workouts. I use mine for the punch bag, but it would be ideal for anyone doing things like circuit training, shuttle runs, etc. I thought it would be really tricky to programme and set up, but it was a doddle and took no more than five minutes. It's also very light and comfortable to wear so that you hardly notice it when working out. A fantastic gadget and well worth the money.

Needed something to let me know every 30 seconds for 1 hour that was light to wear but I could feel the vibrations. Did the job well. It's a little fiddly to set up though.

I use this not only for my training also for cooking.

I love this multi-interval timer - it was just what I needed for doing my Couch to 5K training. I didn't want to carry my phone with me on my runs, so I needed a timer that would allow me to set several intervals, and this is perfect for that. It allows me to set up as many intervals/repeats as I need - for example: 5m (warmup) followed by 1m/1m x 2 (1m walk/rest x 2), followed by 2m/2m x 4 (2m walk/rest x4) then 5m (cool down). I haven't found anything else that allows me to create intervals like this. I used it today, for the first time - it discretely hooked onto the waistband of my leggings and didn't budge. I have a previous GymBoss model, which allows me to set two intervals, so the use of the buttons was familiar, and it was straightforward setting up what I wanted. I also love the fact that I can save two different programs.

Awesome work tool. I own 2 gyms and use it every single day. Battery is average. Depends on the brand of battery you buy. Worth the money difference for the mini instead of the classic. Little scratches easily obtainedSave future is a time saver

Arrived on time. A little tricky to set up but I emailed the seller and had an immediate response which was really helpful. Good little timer and great that it saves your settings /programmes.

Have been using this for a while for tracking boxing intervals and rest periods in gym. A bit difficult to program but once you've done it it's really good. Before I was using old 'dumb' casio watch to track intervals - I find smart watches and smartphones too fiddly and distracting. Gymboss has everything my watches had but with more convenient buttons, larger display and with added benefit of vibration as a signal.But, alas, build quality is not great. Mine stopped working after ~3 months (I was expecting it to work ages on one battery). Changing battery didn't help. After disassembling the case the problem became obvious - inductor L1 was disconnected from the board and the way it was soldered doesn't look great. I would have fixed this and keep using the timer but can't really figure out the value of L1. So quality control is probably a weak point.Anyway, it's a great idea and it would be a great product if it wasn't faulty.

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

I have had many gym boss timers and liked them all, one of the flaws on the others is the clip wood eventually break and then reduce the ease of use. this one has a removeable clip so it can be removed if not needed or replaced if breaks. I also like the convenience of multiple stored settings, so I don't have to reset it for different workouts or segments of workouts depending, just scroll to the saved settings. the new soft coat texture is nice as well but I didn't mind the old smooth ones either but might help with handling when hands are really sweaty? Guess I've been slacking since I haven't tested that yet.

Excelente producto, es el segundo gymboss que tengo y ambos demasiado buenos, una vez que lo usas se convierte en un esencial, pues yo practico con el, cocino, trabajo y hago muchas cosas con el.saludos

Prodotto come da descrizione arrivato entro la data indicata. Per il resto è utilissimo per chi si allena e nn vuole tenere d occhio l orologio. La qualità è eccellente. Made in usa!

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!
