TimeStick Trio®

Great Idea, But!

I just got this and was very excited because I love Thermoworks products but this has me perplexed. I am finding the buttons on the side really hard to press. It takes multiple times for me to get the buttons on the left side to click and start the process of timing my food. I really wish the buttons were more user friendly.

Sturdy, easy to use, the three timers are perfect so I can run multiple tasks and the save function is really handy. Also really appreciate the magnet on the back though I wish it was just a smidge stronger.

Great outdoors! Do the buttons have to be across from each other?

The good: I used this for tracking 38 motorcycle races over two days and it worked excellently; the beeper is loud enough to hear over the race and through the headset. The numbers are large enough to read at a glance and are clearly visible in the glare of full sun. The magnet is plenty strong to hold it anywhere I put it. The bad: When reaching for the timer without looking it was very easy to press the "Set" button instead of Start/Stop, which only silences the timer. After a couple days of very frequent use, the rubber side buttons have tiny pills and the inked numbers on the front are beginning to wear off. Recommendations for the next one: put the Set buttons on the front, even if that makes it wider. Cooking isn't so fast paced as racing, but pressing Start/Stop to stop an alarm could be made to also recall the set time. Side buttons could be a *little* larger.
