I am looking into using an interval time for things like HIIT for cardio and weightlifting sets. I keep seeing the Gymboss timer in my searches. Is this a good one? Would you recommend this one or another?

And I am curious if it interferes with a HRM?

    If you have a smart phone theres a good app I use called Interval Timer AD, You can preset a few variations and swap between your presets rather than input a new timings each session.

    If not I've heard a lot of people talking about the gymboss ones

    A good interval workout is the Tabata, I downloaded a Tabata timer for my Iphone.

    I own a gymboss and use it to follow the workouts on BodyRock.tv and I love it! I use for interval training, time challenges, running, and reminding myself when to eat (every three hours). Totally worth the $20!

    I also use gym boss, I might try the smart phone app though too, did not think to look for one.

    I love my gymboss. I have tried several iPhone apps and haven't found any that work for me personally as well as the gymboss does.
