Use it for CrossFit-style workouts, Hyrox stations, home HIIT or any interval countdown. Key Features: • Gym-board clock: the active interval fills the screen from the center until it ends. Orange for work, green for rest, blue while you get ready. Readable from the floor. • Apple Watch: pick a workout on your wrist and go. Haptic taps at every interval change and a 3-2-1 countdown, heart rate on the timer, and the clock keeps counting when your wrist drops.
