This is not correct - There is a countdown timer on it. The Silver 2 of Oslo There are three modes in 0 Twin: split, lap, and countdown are all terms that can be used to describe different aspects of a workout. The countdown mode can go up to 9 hours and 59 minutes in length. I have three of these in my collection.
No, it won't work like that. I had to order a new battery through the mail, and the securing screws went missing during that time. KEY IN ON THE BATTERY CHANGE.
I tried starting the stopwatch (count up), and while it was still counting up, I was able to change the mode and start a countdown. While the stopwatch (count up) continued, I could pause the countdown, reset it, and begin a new countdown.
I haven't been able to figure out how to make it do so. Mine beeps and then starts counting up when it reaches the end of a countdown. Unless I stop, reset, and restart the countdown, it does not beep again. You appear to be looking for a device that will alert you at a pre-determined or user-defined interval. That is something I do not believe this device is capable of.

br>There is no obnoxious time, day, date, or alarm function. Whew. It's just a great stop watch that does everything you want it to. It also has a great countdown timer. When it reaches zero, it beeps twice and then stops talking for about a minute. If the time is extended, it will beep five times 5 seconds before the end, then one long beep (and then stop beeping). BUT, at the end, it starts counting UP again, so you can see how much time has passed if you go past the end of the time. Perfect for adding a few more seconds to that exercise. br>Each button press provides excellent tactile feedback, presses with just the right amount of pressure, and emits a low-pitched beep. br>It also has split (freeze but keep timing) and lap (freeze but start over with each press) options if you need them. I've never seen a better stopwatch function. The best thought out plan. And when you're done, the countdown goes back to zero. It's ideal for repeating the same amount of time.
I bought a cheaper Amazon stopwatch whistle combo a while back, and after a while, the numbers stopped lighting up properly due to being outside in the rain. I bought this stopwatch, and it has worked flawlessly for three weekends in the rain. My only complaint is that I wish it had a regular watch function, which is why I gave it four stars.
I've used it to turn on streetlights. When I'm on a skateboard, the time it takes for a car to get to me. Most of the highways in my city were discovered. When cars obey the speed limit, it takes 20 to 40 seconds for them to arrive at me. br>br>researched and discovered that most streetlights turn off after 30 minutes. There are 45 seconds remaining. So, with most streets last, I had at least 30 seconds to cross the road before the light changed and a swarm of cars approached. br>br>I like it because it is quick and effective, and it resists water well. It's something I've used in raids before. It wasn't clear if there was a lot of rain. However, I keep it with me at all times and use it as an additional alarm for daily tasks when I'm running around the city. br>br>This stopwatch is of exceptional quality! a sturdy substance! To some, the strign may appear to be a little cheap, but to me, it is not. It does not appear to be inexpensive to me. It's fantastic material, in my opinion. Others, on the other hand, might prefer a thicker string. However, if you do, you can easily replace the strings in this stop watch. br>br>The buttons work well and are simple to operate. They are also a lot of fun to use. For the sake of amusement, I find myself timing each car that passes by.
We hold races once a week with a three-minute countdown. The fact that you can set it for 3 minutes is appealing to me. For the next race, it will simply reset to that. After the 3 minute mark, the continuous reverse count lets you see how long each race takes before resetting for the next race. At 2: As it approaches zero, the watch starts beeping quickly, followed by a long continuous beep.
It's a good stopwatch for the money. br>br>However, if you look around, you'll notice that few stopwatches claim to have a "Countdown Timer," which is exactly why I bought this watch: to be able to set a countdown timer The description, however, is incorrect. br>br>Description of the product: br>""" Countdown timer with remaining time and audible completion alarm """br>br>First, the audible alarm sounds BEFORE the completion. For the last five seconds, you'll hear one or two beeps every second. Second, there isn't any FINISHING - The watch continues to tick away. It changes from counting *down* to counting *up* when the counter reaches 0. So, instead of a 60-second countdown, I got an unexpected array of alarms and a final timestamp of " 5" seconds. Sure, after a few tries, you'll be used to this way of working. However, I purchased it to assist me in working with friends who do not all require me to time their activities all of the time. As a result, the out-of-the-ordinary "countdown timing" threw them off. br>br>I'm still looking for one that will simply countdown to the specified time and beep when it's finished!.
This stopwatch has come in handy for me. As the non-profit organization's executive director, As a roller derby league official, I am in charge of a large number of stopwatches, including the period clocks. A countdown timer is not available on most stopwatches; instead, they count up. The countdown timer keeps the jam timer and the scoreboard operator (who keeps the visible clocks in sync) on the same page. It also saves a lot of time figuring out what time the clocks should be set to when the visible clock is counting down and the backup clock is counting up.
This is an excellent countdown timer, in my opinion. It is a high-quality product. It is of good quality, and though I have only had it for a short time, I expect it to last a long time; the buttons feel good, not cheap and flimsy, and it fits well in the hand; however, it has one flaw that has forced me to abandon its intended use, which is timing a fencing match. It begins to beep once every second a few seconds before the countdown reaches zero. This is extremely distracting during a fencing match, and unless I can figure out how to disable this "feature," the timer will be useless to me. It's a pity that such a useful timer is rendered useless by an inexplicable feature. Why would it be necessary for me to be aware that time is ticking away? What I really want to know is when time runs out. br>br>Overall, a decent countdown timer with one major flaw in my opinion. Regrettably, I won't be purchasing any more.
It really works. It took some getting used to, but the instructions were very clear. I'd suggest giving it a 5-minute trial run. Before going to the gym, give it ten minutes to get used to it. The only drawback is that there is no on/off switch, and replacing the battery appears to be a hassle. Because it gets banged around with my other gear, I'm pretty rough on my gear, but it's held up well.
