Pros: good concept regarding possible uses
Cons: does not stay powered up due to bad battery door, poor display properties
Review:
Battery compartment cover issues render this almost a useless product. The door pops open at random, loosening batteries and causing the unit to fail or reset endlessly. VERY poor basic design regarding the most basic of issue - keeping it powered up. I have tried gorilla tape to keep the battery door closed but its so cheaply made it actually needs screws to fasten the battery door shut. The functions are great however the display is not visible unless looking at it straight on at a direct 90 degree angle, if mounted anywhere other than in front of your eyes the display is either difficult or impossible to see, again a major design flaw.
For the money its a really poor design, at a minimum the display should be effective in a cockpit from various angles. A simple kitchen digital timer that I purchase for grilling chicken is far more easy to use, can be seen at all angles and light conditions. Worse yet is that others have reviewed this product with identical issues and yet the manufacturer still puts this thing out with known deficiencies.

All the function and quality of a dollar store timer, for just 39 times the price

Pros: It didn't give me hepatitis.
Cons: poorly made
Review:
Cheaply made - the back pops off and the batteries come out, which resets the clock, and renders it useless.

would not recomend

Pros: big numbers, approach
Cons: cost, and not enough timers
Review:
Not a bad timer. The approach option is nice to set different times before you head out. For the money though I should have just went and bought an egg timer with twice as many timers on it that just fuel and crono. Not to mention egg timers are only 12 bucks. Save your money and head to the grocery store.

Underwhelmed
By Joseph

Pros: Large numbers
Cons: Touchy start/stop button at the top.
Review:
I do not feel that this product met my expectation for ease of use. I find the start/stop button at the top too touchy. Needs to be more of a click on and click off type response. The battery cover fits poorly. I find it difficult to set and use the fuel timer. I think I will go back to using a simple stop watch or my Iphone with sporty's app.

Design quality lacking
By Walt

Pros: Good timer.
Cons: Having to reset the clocks each time the batteries fall out.
Review:
The clock/timer functions are great, however, the catch for the battery cover is weak. The cover falls off and the batteries fall out if it gets bumped.
