What this one is for
- Extra-large digits
- Alarm cuts through music
- Full screen on a phone or tablet
Training to a clock keeps the session honest in a way that counting reps does not, because the finish line stays where it is when you get tired. It opens at 30:00; change that with the chips under the dial.
Worth knowing
- Prop the phone up and use full screen; digits stay readable from the floor.
- Time-based sets hold up on tired days because the finish line stays put.
- The alarm carries over most gym music at normal volume.
Getting the most from the workout timer
- Warm up before the clock mattersTwo or three minutes of easy movement first. The block is for working, not for getting ready to work.
- Set the effort, not the distanceTime-based work holds up on a tired day because the finish line does not move.
- Come down slowlyWalk or breathe it out for the last minute rather than stopping dead when the alarm goes.
