GymbossminiMAX Interval Timer and Stopwatch - Green/Yellow SOFTCOAT

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!

I had an older GymBoss timer that I had been using, but the screen was starting to go after sweating on it during my long runs. This new timer is above and beyond what the old timers were. The ability to program in multiple different intervals for different workouts makes it much easier to get out the door instead of changing the times each day. It's also very easy to program and use, and to change to different workout programs even while working out. The vibration is also powerful enough to feel it from my armband so I don't have to get it as sweaty. After getting this timer, I told my family members they needed to upgrade as well and everyone else enjoys them as well. Well worth the money for the convenience and ease of use.

I wanted a timer for crossfit, HIIT, and other workout timing for use at home. Digging through the reviews didn't help, except it seemed like a lot of people liked the miniMax or the Everlast Interval Training Round Timer. I have two workout locations so I bought both. Here's what I found out:1. a. If you want to do clever combinations of intervals (e.g. 5 min work, 50 sec rest, 4 min work, 40 sec rest, 3 min work, 30 sec rest etc.) or b. If you have many interval combinations you want use (and store into memory) you need the miniMax timer.BUT it is somewhat complex to program, there is no end of round warning beep (If you want to have a warning beep 10 sec before the end of a 1 min work interval you have to program it as a 50 sec interval followed by a 10 sec interval), the loudest beep setting is not as loud as I would like, and for a given program you can only have one beep sound (not distinct for warning or rest or whatever). In the middle of a workout this can get confusing.2. a. If you only need one or two interval durations (For instance 20x 1 minute rounds, or 5 minute rounds with 1 minute rests between, or 20 sec on, 10 sec off Tabatas) you need the Everlast timer. and b. If you don't mind the lack of memory (it remembers the last settings you did but if you want to use other timings you have to punch them in each time you change them for a different workout), The Everlast is your best bet AND The Everlast has a distinct end-of-interval warning you can simply set to off or for 10 or 30 sec warning. It is simple to change programs in just a few seconds, probably faster than you can locate a saved program in the miniMax. It's plenty loud.SO, for complex interval combinations saved to memory, it's the miniMax. For simpler stuff, it's the Everlast.

I wanted something that would make it easy for me to hold my yoga poses and stretches for a certain period of time and this was the perfect solution. For my initial session, I set it for 30 seconds for me to hold the pose with 2 seconds rest. I was able to relax into the poses instead of worrying about counting the time.The fact that it was green and it matches everything I own was just the icing on top.

I bought this for my husband. He has used it now a couple of times and can't stop thanking me enough. :). He loves how he can set it to provide an alarm at pre-determined times during his runs. This helps him to run fartleks.I also bought him the accessory pack. He uses the wristband when running. Works great!

i've used this everyday since i received it. i have to say, once you get used the programing and the learning curve... it's a great tool for your HIIT workouts.at first, i was used to their original gymboss and was surprised by all the new features. once i set up all the different timed workouts i needed, i was ready to be abused.the features are awesome...from tabata to 90s intervals to endless rounds.the more rugged case is nice, especially when you're working out in the wilderness.the clock feature is "nice" bonusmy only gripe is... the volume of the beeps are much lower than the original gymboss

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

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.
