Timex Sport Watch – Interval Timer Mode For Advanced Repetition Training

Timex Sport Watch – Interval Timer Mode For Advanced Repetition Training
By Rod McAnally

A common feature of the Timex Sport Watch is a handy watch mode called Interval Timer Mode.

In simple terms, Interval Timer Mode is a sequence of countdown timers. Each countdown timer in the sequence can be set to a different value. Once a timer has counted down to zero, the next timer in the sequence starts until all timers have run their course.

When all timers have finished, the sequence can be set to either repeat, stop or start the chronograph timer.

Interval mode is the perfect application for athletes wishing to do timed repetition work. If an athlete wishes to run hard for three minute efforts, with two minutes easy jogging in between, she would set the first timer to 3 minutes, the second timer to 2 minutes and set the sequence to repeat itself.

When the first timer runs its course, a short alarm sounds and the second timer starts counting down. It would look something like this:

3 minutes…. ALARM…. 2 minutes…. ALARM…. 3 minutes…. ALARM…. 2 minutes…. etc

The number of iterations of the sequence is displayed on the Timex watch, so if you wish repeat this pattern 8 times, it is easy to keep track.

While Interval Mode is found on many of the cheap Timex watches, not all support it, so if you want to take advantage of all this feature, check carefully that the watch has it.

The number of countdown timers in the sequence also varies. Many Timex watches support two or three, but some support many more than this. Usually only two or three are necessary unless your needs are highly complex. In this case a more expensive watch may be more appropriate.

Many watch manufacturers will try and sell you on a countdown timer feature. Don’t fall for this.

A Countdown Timer feature is not the same as the Interval Timer Mode feature.

A countdown timer is a single timer. While it can be repeated the timer is fixed and cannot vary like in an Interval Timer sequence. This is fine if say you want to do 3 minutes hard/3 minutes easy, but you cannot do 3 minutes hard/2 minutes easy, so insist on an Interval Timer Mode in your next Timex Sport Watch if you wish to take advantage of its benefits.
