Does this game clock have the capability of "counting up" time too? (Starting from '0:00' then ending when a move is finished)

Am looking for a timer capable of keeping a player within a boundary of, say ... 3 to 5 minutes to move during a Scrabble game.Do you have any ideas for that function? 3 to 4 players

We use it to count up. Actually using it to time (upwards) study time, and non study time

To my knowledge, this clock only counts down, not up. I bought it for my son to play chess tournaments and it works very well.

I use it for typical chess games and I did not believe it could count up. However, one of the other users answered that it does.

No, it won't automatically do that. If you're near it when the timer goes off & push the red button to stop it. You can then push the Start/Stop button & it will begin a count UP. I'm thinking it will keep counting up till it reaches the maximum. But, no, it won't start a count up automatically.

Yes; I have used it to count up seconds (probably works for mins as well). If you start with zeros (both units buttons pressed simultaneously) and then press the left hand side (start) button it counts up until you stop it by pressing the start/stop button again. One press holds the elapsed time, if pressed again, it resumes the count again where it left off -- press m/s buttons simultaneously again to restart at zero.

You can use it like a standard stopwatch. I don't know if it rolls over on counting up, but there is a one digit day position on the stopwatch function, so it might count up to 9 days, 59 minutes, 59 seconds. I bought it specifically for the countdown feature, which works very well. You can check on their website for more specifics.

Yes. There is a stop watch function to count up. There is NO timer for a count down.

It is a timer of sorts. As the game goes along the time will change (manually) when it hits a certain time, the game is over. Think Cinderella! ;)

If you count up from 1 you can stop and then start again where you left off. I haven't tried counting down from a higher number but assume it would be the same. I like this very well.

sort of. You would type 3 0 Start/Stop. When it gets to zero, it starts beeping and automatically starts counting up (the numbers flash while counting up). If you press the start/stop button it stops beeping and displays 0:00 30. If you press start/stop again, it will begin counting down from 30.

Yes, if you do not need to measure increments of less than one second. If it is set on 0 and you push start it will count upwards till you stop it.

No. It seems that while you can set three separate timers to count down, when the Maverick is in count-up mode, the top line shows the clock, the middle line shows the seconds passing, while the bottom line shows the minutes/hours counting up.

To get it to count up, press the Start/Stop button once. It will begin to count up by seconds. To turn it off and reset it to zero, press both the M (minutes) and S (seconds) buttons at the same time.

It definitely has a count up feature and you don't need for it to count down to zero before using it. Just push the timer selection button on the right (1, 2 or 3) then press start and it will start counting up from zero. And yes, all three timers are completely independent in terms of start/stop and count up/down.

It's just a basic timer. Go, stop, and clear. Goes up to one hour. Not a clock. I teach. I use it to time tests. Has 00:00:00 on it. I had a sports timer before. This one is easier to use and more accurate.

Yes, the controller has a timer mode and will count down the remaining minutes on the display.

Previous answers correct but just note that when setting the time it moves in increments of 15 seconds. You can't set specific times beyond that.

Yes it does count up like a stopwatch. This is a great timer, I am pretty attached to it.

I have three of these devices - two brands - neither count up = they only accumulate, i.e. count up. My Casio 150 watch has both a time accumulator (counts up) and a count down function - counts time downward from a max of 23h 59 min. You can set it for any time in hours and minutes down to one minute. I have not seen one of these devices like this Seiko that count down.
