How long does the alarm ring? Is it a single ding, or does it keep on ringing for awhile until you stop it? I need one that continues to alert until I respond! Thanks!

The timer beeps three times then pauses for about 1 second intermittently for 30 seconds. To set the timer you press the minute button repeatedly for how minutes you want to set. Same with the seconds. It is a good timer and has a memory function for the last setting. Take care not to drop it.

If I set it for 10 minutes will it remember it next time or do I have to set the timer again?

Just tried it out and it keeps going until you shut it off. Good little timer.

I'm sorry it took so long for me to respond. It a while until you stop it. Nice loud ring, too! Been a good addition to our kitchen!

Hi - it rings for about 8-10 seconds & that's it, stops after that. Sounds like this one's a little too 'kind' for your purposes! :)

iIt's the loudest timer I've ever had, though it's not horribly ear-splitting. It rings for about a minute (a beeping noise) unless you turn it off sooner. I don't think you could use it as an alarm clock though.

There is a do not disturb button. Push that and you won't hear any ringing until you allow ringing again. I love the DND button.

The alarm goes off for about 60 seconds (I've never timed it. I seems to last a long time.) It's plenty of time for me. If you want to go take a shower or something, though, you could miss it, I suppose.

The Gymboss recycles after the time you set for as many times as you want (up to 99 times). I do an exercise routine where I program my Gymboss for 30 sec. intervals for 15 sets (times). At the end of each 30 second interval it recycles to the start of a new 30 second set. Yes, the "bell" (a double beeping alarm sound) is loud enough to hear. It also does have a volume control (low, medium and high). You can also program the alarm to go off for either 1 second, 2 seconds or 5 seconds (depending on your needs). The only thing is after about six months (depending on how often you use your Gymboss) you will need to replace the AAA battery as the alarm sound will get weaker over time. Hope this answer your questions.

Yes, I really like this timer because it rings a long time. It seems to continue ringing until I turn it off, which sometimes a couple of minutes!

This alarm is very tough to get 'spot on' for an alarm time. Of the two buttons on the back, the top one rotated counter clockwise, moves the silver pointer around to the time you want it to ring. Then pop the top big brown button so it is up and you are ready to go. Test it out with something 10 to 20 minutes out from right now and see how close to your target time it rings. unlike a digital, the analog clock works on gears and pointers so it is not an exact science.

You set your cell phone on silent alert, place the phone behind the unit (slip it between the unit and the elastic band), and you're done. If you get a phone call, the vibration of the phone causes the RingMaster to go off. You can adjust the volume on the unit to your liking. I am pleased with mine and feel it was a worthwhile purchase.

I have sensitive ears, so the alarm was so loud to me that I didn't just let it go to see if it reset itself. I just shut it off physically. Hope that helps.

The alarm sounds continually for about 30 seconds, +/-, and then shuts off. It will then reset to the time you previously set it for. This item is described to continue until one manually shuts if off. But the instructions that come with it say different and after using it, I found the instructions are correct...not the advertised description.

This isn't a count-down watch. It's a stop watch.You stop it by pushing a button. There is no sound alarm or chime.

It doesn't tick. It is audible because it makes a beeping noise when the time is up. It's pretty quiet though and I don't find it annoying. It beeps three times and then stops, but you can turn that off if you don't want it to beep at all.

I played around with it to see what it would do. A single beep sounds when motion is detected. Then about 15-20 seconds later the (obnoxious) alarm starts, and continues for about 30 seconds before it stops. I'm not sure how long it takes, but the unit does re-arm itself after the alarm has been sounded.

I have never seen a timer (and I have four different ones) that can do what you are asking. You can set it for 20 seconds, and it will ding. It automatically goes back to 20 seconds again when you press the stop. Maybe the answer is to buy two timers, set them on different time lengths and go from there.

The alarm is loud enough for me to hear it in the whole house. Thats what I needed. There is no delay in the Beeping to start, and it does last 10seconds about.

I haven't tried it yet as I just got it today, but when i was setting the alarm there was a bell symbol and it was either normal or with a slash through it. my assumption is that when you select the slash though, the sounds will be muted.

The alarm comes on low but increases in volume, no matter what the volume setting of the sound you use. I have not used the Tone or Radio as an alarm but used Wind Chimes, and it was nice. Started low and gradually increased. If you are not a light sleeper, set the alarm maybe 1 or 2 minutes before you want to wake up so that the volume reaches a level that will wake you up in time.

Not an annoying, loud beep at all. It is a single beep as the toast is rising; it is not continuous or repetitive.
