I'm looking for a timer for use with circuit training. I don't want to use my phone (too bulky, too expensive) and want something cheap and simple that will allow me to set it to beep or vibrate every 30 / 45 / 60 seconds etc.

Had a quick look on Amazon but didn't really see anything. I don't really need a full-functioning watch, something Fitbit sized with just a countdown timer would be awesome.

Thanks for any recommendations!

    I have been using a Timex Ironman wristwatch in that way for over 20 years. Most of the other similar watches should also have the same feature.

    Basic Timex Ironman?

    Countdown timer repeat mode is what you want.

    I mean, I guess that's still a "full functioning watch," but...

    Gymboss - it's a clip on interval timer, small, has beeps, silent (vibrations), and combo options, love it

    Thanks! Exactly what I'm looking for. Just ordered a Minimax plus a strap.

    Thanks also for the Ironman recommendation - looks like a good watch, but just wanted something simple and the Gymboss seems a bit more suitable.
