I like this, because I wanted a count up/down timer for soccer, which would also tell me the time of day (when is the game going to start; how late are my players??). 2 shortcomings: it isn’t waterproof or water resistant (darn that fall rain!), and although it says you can use the count up and count down times at the same time, I haven’t figured out how to start them at the same time, so one or the other will be off a couple of seconds. In soccer, that doesn’t mean much, but if you really need both to be exactly accurate, this might not be for you. The instructions aren’t the best, but the labels on the buttons are fairly intuitive, so you can figure it out, and with regular use, it’s easy to use.

This is a good little timer. The instructions for resetting, setting, etc. are terrible, though.

This is a great, hand-size timer that counts either time up or time down. The only thing I don’t like is that when counting down it starts beeping at 3 seconds and continues until you stop the timer. I’d like it to just beep at “zero”, and there doesn’t appear to be a way to set it to do just that.
