AB Workout Equipment: Gymboss GB2009 SILVER Review

I was already happy with my Everlast Round Timer, which seems to be subject to a smear campaign here on Amazon but works wonderfully and is really easy to use, didn't have to look at the instructions at all.

This Gymboss has the advantage of letting me customize the length of each interval so it's ideal for the Tabata training that was the reason why I bought it.The beeps are quite audible, and I like that it beeps once at the end of the first interval but twice at the end of the second interval, rather than once all the time.Also nice that you can customize the length of the beeps.

HOWEVER, the user interface is *ANYTHING* but intuitive!I am quite a gadget geek and usually never need to read instructions, and I have owned several countdown timers, but this Gymboss has probably the most convoluted and arbitrary button system I have EVER come across.This is not helped by the included instructions seeming to have been written by a complete retard.In all honesty, it probably needs more like SIX buttons, not three.The Everlast timer has a far, far more intuitive user interface.

Anyway, I had to rewrite the instructions for myself (I've pasted them into the Comments section below this review), and after much repetitive practice am now able to use it without constantly having to refer back to them.Sheesh!

It's a shame that such a handy device has to be so user unfriendly.
