- T-820 99 Minute Handheld Countdown Timer Black

Great product. Extremely useful count down feature. Easy to use. Will buy them again

I use this every day at work. I'm a dog trainer and it gets bumped and jumped on a lot. I haven't had any issues with durability. The screen is a good size and it saves the previous setting. The lanyard is very long so I just tied a knot. It has a kind of quick release that is nice. The buttons don't stick. It's a very nice, quality timer.

Best countdown timer. I use this as a USATF Certified official for high jump. It's great because it's easy to set time for 1, 2, 3, and 5 minutes and beyond and begin the countdown. I don't have worry about how much time an athlete has left. It's crystal clear. I have purchased several and given then away to other officials. Highly recommend if you need a countdown timer. It also has an alarm that keeps when time is up.

I bought this because my wife said she needed a decent countdown timer for her cooking and the previous timer we bought (from a different company) had to be returned because it just did not work well. This timer, on the other hand, seems easy to use, has a repeating alarm and is loud enough to actually hear. There are only four buttons on the timer, two to set the countdown time (minutes and seconds), one to start the timer and one to reset. All works well and I would have given this timer 5 stars except for three issues. The first is that the timer only goes to 99 minutes and 59 seconds so if you need to time something for 2 hours or more you have to do it with sequential timings, the second is that the speaker is on the reverse side of the timer and thus if you hang this around your neck you need to have the back side facing out or you may not hear the timer. The third is related to the second issue. The control buttons are very sensitive and, because the timer has to have its back facing out to be heard, the buttons rest against your shirt if you hang it around your neck. If you accidentally bump it you are likely to press one of the buttons and affect the timing. I have accidentally stopped the timer and only noticed when I thought the timer should have expired, but I had not heard any sound. These issues are a bit annoying, but not too much of a problem if the user is aware of them and treats the timer carefully. Given those conditions I think that the timer is a great buy at the price.

You can turn off the alarm/beeping. And the buttons do not click loudly either. Works for testing.

Use this during firearms training. Easy to use. Great quality and price. Highly recommend.

I am on my second of these. It is perfect as a countdown counter. It has an alarm function that you can silence. Is easy to set. It actomatically goes back to the last time you set. Why only 3 stars? My first started locking up about a month into ownership. If I remove the battery for 8 hours it starts working again but locks up within a couple of hours of use. So far the second one is behaving.

Worked as described. I did not experience any low noise issues as some reported. The noise levels were excellent whether sitting on its face or back.
