Gymboss miniMAX Interval Timer and Stopwatch - BLACK/YELLOW SOFTCOAT

I have been using the 1st/simpler version of the Gymboss for years - seems simple, but there's nothing quite like it - I especially like it for timing stretching routine but also for all sorts of timed exercises. This new version is an improvement because I can now save a whole series of interval programs rather than having to reset the Gymboss each time I want to use a new interval setting (I time different kinds of intervals every day!). As a user of the 1st gymboss, I found this more complex version a bit tricky to program at first - there is a new SET button between the arrow buttons on the top - easy to miss this button because the button strip is all the same colour and it does not look like a button. However once the people at Gymboss told me where to find the SET button (which gives you access to a new menu system that the old gymboss does not have) it is easy enough to set up. Actually, setting it up does take a bit of learning, but it's worth the effort and once learned it's easy. Thanks for the upgrade Gymboss.

"What could be making all that noise in the tumble-dryer?" I thought. "S***"!!" I remarked, as it dawned on me that it was my fairly pricey new interval timer. Not only had I dried my timer at 40 degrees for 90 minutes, I had also given it a nice wash for 3 hours on the stains cycle. Still, I fished it out, let the battery cool down and it worked as good as new! I was very pleased. It is also an excellent timer. The mild complexity of programming it is worth it. It's especially good for helping you keep fit in parks, hotel rooms, beaches etc when you're away from your base.

Excellent piece of kit. Took a little bit of time understanding the set up, but once mastered, flew through the interval timings that I wanted and began HIIT. For those who do interval training, it's essential to concentrate on the form of your exercises and then let the gymboss do the timings automatically. Cons: the initial set up can be time consuming and fidly, but gymboss website and YouTube helps. Pros: perfect for people who interval train. Small enough to carry or wear. Loud enough to alert next interval. Multiple settings for more complex intervals. I would recommend it.

Excellent product!! I have purchased the standard Gymboss previously (twice actually! Lost one, dropped a weight bench on the other!!), which is also excellent but the extra intervals and setup menus are worth the extra cost. I use it in the gym for interval training where you can set it up so you have the working time recorded and the rest time. The sound is loud enough for use in the gym with music on, plus the vibration feature is handy if you have your earphones on. The armband is handy as an extra but not essential as the belt clip works pretty well. I have read some reviews where there have been issues with the belt clip but I can only assume these are one offs or earlier models as I have had no issues with the two I have owned. One other thing I use it for is to make sure I am drinking enough water whilst at work. I just set it to vibrate only and keep it in my pocket. I would definitely recommend this product.

great product & competitive price

Can I award minus stars? I’ve thrown it away after three hours trying to set it and failing.

I do all my training with this stopwatch, definitely a must-have. I particularly like this one for the multi-time option that allows me to set my intervals exactly how I need to. Yes, it requires reflexion get your head around the settings but once you got it, it would really allow you to tailor your session as desired. In addition, the grip is really good, size perfect, buzzing loud enough. Vibration mode is not as reliable as sometimes you don't feel it 5I am not using it anymore). And the low battery indicator is crap: I have used for weeks since the indicator went on... but that really two minor inconveniences compared to the benefits.

Great timer. I use it all the time. Can't see how I worked out properly without. With this I am not dependent on the gym clock and can do my own round times. This is also great for my conditioning routine. UPDATE I'm updating my review to state that while this product is good it does breakdown a lot. For whatever reason the one I bought on the 13th of July 2021 is now not showing the numbers properly and even when I do get one of my pre set timers it doesn't work. Seems every 2 years I have to buy a new one

This has to be one of the greatest bargains of all time. I returned two $400+ fitness monitor watches because they would not do what the Gymboss will do for less than $30. It has a strong vibrator that you can actually feel when you are engaged in other activities. It can measure intervals from 1 sec up. It has 99 max intervals, but will start again after the last interval with the push of one button. And, with the miniMax, you can set iterations within intervals. I created one with 10 iterations within each interval of 6 sec (I could have created more, but that was more than I needed) each, giving me essentially 990 intervals of 6 sec each. Watch the videos at the Gymboss website if the written instructions don't seem clear; the videos are easy to follow.

It's great for working out, you can program you own intervals, warm-up, exercices, rest, water break, cool down, stretch and so on. Es geniar para entrenar, puedes programar los intervalos para calentamientos, ejercicios, descanso, parada para beber, estiramiento y demás.

Review Gymbosss Ich nutze den Gymboss bei meiner Arbeit als Coach und Physiotherapeut und in meinem eigenen Training seit über einem Jahr. Im großen und ganzen bin ich zufrieden, aber es gibt einige Funktionen die ich vermisse. Ich beginn mit diesen und werde dann abschließen mit den Anwendungsszenarien für die der Gymboss gut geeignet ist. 1) Licht. Der Gymboss hat kein licht, ich Coach draußen auch spät. Im dunkeln ist der Gymboss nicht mehr zu lesen. Wenn jemand ein ähnliches gerät mit hintergrundbeleuchtung kennt bitte in die kommentare damit! 2) Stellt 12 Uhr mittags als 00:xx da. 3) kein Handzähler 4) Taktgeber fehlt. Improvisierte Lösung: 2 Sekunden Intervall auf unendlich stellen. Ist okay, geht besser. 5) Stoppuhr a) keine Runden Funktion b) Zeiten können nicht gespeichert werden c) Zeit wird gelöscht wenn auf eine andere Funktion (Uhr, Intervall) gewechselt wird. d) Keine Multistoppuhr möglich 6) Intervall a) Unpraktisch das man nicht ein Intervall einstellen und die normal Uhr im Vordergrund laufen lassen kann. So hätte man ein aktives Feedback vom Intervall und die aktuelle Zeit im Blick. Man muss aber immer einen Knopf gedrückt halten um die Uhrzeit angezeigt zu bekommen, kann also nicht die Hände frei halten. (Stoppuhr das selbe) b) Runden Anzeige bei Intervall Gewöhnungsbedürftigen. Zeigt nicht an in der wievielten runde man ist. Sondern wie viele runden es nach der aktuellen noch sind. Für mich ist das größte Manko das fehlende Licht. Dadurch kann ich die Uhr kaum nutzten wenn ich im Winter draußen Coach. Den Taktgeber vermisse ich und sollte leicht um zu setzten sein. Den Multiintervall hab ich schon genutzt um einen 3h Workshop zu takten, mit ein bisschen Übung sind damit wirklich komplexe und lange Intervalle mögliche. M.m.n. die größte stärke des Gymboss.! Die unter Recall gespeicherten Intervalle (bis zu 15) werden nicht gelöscht wenn die Batterie leer ist! Die Bedienung wir häufig zu recht als kompliziert kritisiert (4 Tasten, für einen Haufen Funktionen), trotzdem ist sie logisch, strukturiert und nachvollziehbar. Wer die Uhr regelmäßig nutzt findet sich mit der zeit gut zurecht. Die Verarbeitung ist sehr solide, der Clip hält gut an der Kleidung bei moderater Bewegung, wenn der Gymboss runter fällt (z.b. bei springen und rennen gelegentlich) kann er das gut ab und außer ein paar Kratzern passiert nichts. Nur der kleine Pin der die Feder vom Clip in Position hält wackelt sich mit der zeit lose. Dadurch verschleißt das Plastik und der Clip kriegt unnötig Spiel und wird wackelig. Ich hab ein bisschen Kleber genutzt und den Pin damit fixiert. Dadurch verschleißt das Plastik nicht. Ich empfehle das von Anfang an zu machen. Die erst Batterie hat ca. 2 monate gehalten. Dürfte länger sein, aber ich vergesse auch immer das display aus zu schalten. Wenn man den Gymboss immer im hellen nutzt und auf Handzähler, Taktgeber, Runden Funktion (Stoppuhr), verzichten kann ist der Gymboss empfehlenswert,trotz der gewöhnungsbedürftigen Bedienung.

perfetto per gli allenamenti in palestra leggero pratico robusto e programmabile invari modi , perfetto per allenamenti intervallari di tipo tabata ed hiit, molto più comodo e pratico di stare ad armeggiare con smartphone ed app varie, una volta configurato premi un tasto e vai. Per programmarlo correttamente occorre leggersi il manuale e fare un pò di prove, non è troppo intuitivo , ma 5 stelle le merita per la praticità di uso una volta programmato ... si vede chiaramente che è stato fatto de gente che la palestra la frequenta e sa cosa ci serve.

As described. Arrived earlier than expected. Programming is easy, discrete clip and size of timer.
