Countdown Timer

My countdown timer finally bit the dirt and I need a new one. The one that just went out on me was a great pocket one with vibrating mode...boy I loved that feature !!! Anyway the price on it has jumped to $45. Don't want to spend that kind of cash if possible.

I've seen some indicators with the timers built in. Where can you get those, or any other ideas.

If you look back in old threads, you will see this topic has also been discussed before. However, I use a $12.00 watch with a timer function. It is strapped to the right temple guard of my mask, and is only on there when games are timed. College and varsity HS it is no where to be seen.

In our area, mostly everyone uses Kitchen timers clipped on the fence. In fact, usually, whoever goes on the field first sets up theirs and it stays for the whole tourney day.

I've used kitchen timers and the Eagle Timer. If what you are looking for is really a pocket timer that vibrates then you might want to check this out for $12.95.

I did a Google search "count down timer vibrate" and got several options. Good luck.

I believe Honig's used to sell an indicator that had either a timer or a clock on it. I don't see it on their website anymore, but it may still be around.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

It's model# K45C, but doesnt show in the Honigs listings, or come up on the search. They do have one with a retractable plate brush! (dumb idea)

It does show up on the UK Honigs page.

I have one (mrs has one also) and they are nice for timed games. The functions are; countdown timer, stop watch, and 2 time zones with alarm.
