GymbossInterval Timer and Stopwatch - Teal/Blue Metallic Gloss

This nice little gadget is great for running intervals. I set my run and walk intervals, and clip it to the neck of my tshirt so I can hear the beep over my earbuds. I will say that I tried the chargeable version of this device (I went through two) and had bad luck both times. The battery operated version is the way to go, in my opinion.

Great for training (run)100% recommend

I run with a group of friends along Santa Monica beach, training for marathons. Using the Jeff Galloway method we run for four minutes, walk for one minute and repeat those intervals until the finish. In interval mode, the Gymboss beeps on the four minutes and again on the one minute, telling us when to run and when to walk. It is simple to program and the beep is nice and loud so we don't miss a walk break. I had a chance to run with Jeff Galloway a couple of months ago, and he was using a Gymboss to track his intervals. So, I decided to get one, and I like it.

As we Brits say, It's the brill! Lighter than my Citizen on my wrist. An absolute ease to master and operate IF you watch the gymboss dot com video (the accompanying instructions are s***e and in such tiny print you need the Mt Palomar telescope to flippin read them). I watched the gymboss vid twice, mucked about with it, getting the knack, then watched the vid a third time. Now, right as rain. Me wiff and I use it for Tabata. We also bought the GymBoss strap which, amusingly, was more of a head-scratcher than the timer. As I said, it's the brill! I only wish it'd been Prime eligible to save the $3.95 shipping cost. Still, did I say it's the brill?

This is a great timer for workouts. Easy to use and durable even as you sweat!

For anyone into interval training, this is the timer to have. It is easy to use and durable. I can't imagine how it could be better. Thank you for an excellent product.

Just like the old Gym Boss timers, this one is mediocre. It works well; the alarm has enough various settings that you can be sure to find one that suits your need. The numbers are easy to read, setting up the timer and using the stopwatch function is good enough. My only problem with it is its lack of customizability in regards to interval times. You can set two, and only two, different interval times. For example, if I want to do 2 plyometric exercises for 30 seconds each, followed by a 45 second rest, I can't use this timer. I could do 1 exercise for 30 seconds and then a 45 second rest period. This is an inconvenience when I attempt to do some interval training, like the heavy rope. When I use my rope, I'll do 1 minute each of 5 different exercises, and then rest for 3 minutes. I would love the timer to do this: 1 minute, beep, 1 minute, beep, 1 minute, beep, 1 minute, beep, 1 minute, beep, 3 minutes, beep. But I can't do that. Instead I have to set it for infinite 1 minute intervals, then when it comes time to rest, I have to count the three minutes. The point is, each "round" of HIIT training can only have 2 different times, and I wish this product could accommodate more variability than that.

This product replaces the motivating pager products made for the behavior mod world that cost upwards of 50 dollars. I find that they serve the same exact function and can usually find them for 15 or less. I have shared this link with so many people grateful to have an alternative that is light weight, user friendly and so inexpensive.
