A boxing timer you would bolt to the wall. Every gym timer is a screen. BELL is an object. The seconds roll on machined drums. The bell is a real brass bell, struck by a hammer on a spring. The ten-second warning is wood clappers, the way a boxing gym has always called it. Nothing fades. Everything has weight, sound, and a satisfying click. LOAD A FIGHT, PRESS ONCE, TRAIN Boxing, HIIT, Tabata, EMOM — five presets ready out of the box, or spin the brass dials to build your own. Cold launch to first bell in under a second and a half. Set it on the floor, face up, and go. BELLS THAT NEVER MISS The bell cuts through your music and rings with the screen locked and the phone in your pocket. Kill the app mid-session and every remaining round still rings — on time, through Silent and Focus. The clock runs on absolute time, so backgrounding, a phone call, or low power never throws it off by a second. THE MILEAGE GAUGE The machine keeps score. A sprung brass needle banks your minutes of work today, and the odometer beneath it counts every round you have ever finished. No sensors, no straps — just miles on your fists. THE FIGHT CARD Finish a session and a stamped card slams in: rounds completed as punched holes and total work time. One tap to share. MADE LIKE A TOOL No account. No network. No data leaves your phone. Settings live on the back of the machine — flip it over. Start your last preset straight from the Action Button or Siri. A lock-screen wall clock and Dynamic Island keep the time glanceable all session. BELL PRO is one purchase, yours for good: unlimited custom presets, the OLD SCHOOL skin and every future skin, and the full session log with streaks. The timer itself — every preset, the bell, the lights — is free forever. Train like it is bolted to the wall.
