Does this timer also count up like a stop watch, as the original Polder timer does?

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.

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

After the timer goes off and you press the start/stop button, the timer still retains the original setting, so all you have to do is press the button again. So, yes, the timer will do this.

No! I wish it did. This was one of the reasons I bought this brand. Our old Taylor timer (which lasted for years even after being completely submerged in water) had a 5 minute warning. It is a very handy feature.

Not that I know of. It does stop counting at 12:00 midnight and starts all over again.If you're worried about battery consumption, don't. They seem to last forever and are easily replaced

It always counts down seconds. On the timer at least. I haven't used the "count-up" feature.

No. It's a pretty simple timer. it will count up from 0h00m00sto 09h59m59s . Count down will count down from any time you set from 09h59m59s down to 0. This is a pretty study timer I may add.

No I don't think so. There are two timers for two different time intervals for switching back and forth. But there is only one start/stop button. I purchased it and use it as a count down timer. When time reaches zero, it begins counting up. The audible alert has hi/ low/ off. And off is sometimes very handy. I use it for meetings, and can watch the visual indicator with the audible alert turned off.The question posted by Erik; maybe two simple sport stopwatches would serve your needs. I've had a Robic sport stopwatch for a different purpose for many years. That is how I was familiar with that brand name. No I don't think so.

It actually counts down. You set it at the time you want and it counts down to zero. Excellent unit

Yes. The Start/Stop button also acts as a Pause. There is a Clear button to cancel your time. We use ours to time our exercising and have to pause it occasionally. We are very happy with this timer.

Yes! When it is used as an additive counter there is an "up" arrow displayed above the seconds. Of course it will only count up to 99:99:99.

nope. This doesn't do time ie. is not a stop watch. It only counts "times of something/laps".
2091042
Yes, they do. It works just like you would want or expect it to. You program the time and then it counts down and if completed or paused and reset, returns to that same count down 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.

Yes, it starts counting he minute you press it to start and yes you can stop it midway and start it over.

Sort of...it has an interval timer function, but you can only program 5 intervals, which with recovery isn't enough intervals for me. I have not played with this function more than once or twice so there may be a work around, but it in my opinion this is one of the negatives of the watch. Otherwise I like the watch very much. You ma look at the run trainer 2.0 for improvements of this feature.

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 to both questions. This is the best timer I've ever had. Very flexible very user friendly.I've owned two of these timers and have never had the problem of it continuing to beep after pushing the stop button.
