Don't hold up very well.

The gym I work out of goes through about 5 every 3 months. They just aren't very durable.

Agreed. I've gone through 3 myself when working at a gym. And it's not like I abused the things, they just fell apart from normal use.

With smartphones there's no need for an interval timer anyway. Tons of free aps for that.

The Android application Impetus is a great interval timer and since it's your cell, you don't have to carry another piece of equipment.

I've had mine for over a year, no problems. But, then again, I'm the only one using it.

At my old gym, we went through timers like crazy, the general pop. can't be trusted with electronics that aren't theirs. They view them as disposable.

We used a large boxing timer that we could set for 15, 30, 45 second, or 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 minute intervals or rest periods when working with large groups. Key with those is getting one with a volume control, they can be ridiculously loud.

Disagree. Mine hold up really well. I do seem to lose my fair share, though.

Mine was pretty fragile. Lasted < 2 weeks.
