<< Dear all,
I have a student with a severe back problem who is very keen on using a
timer to ensure that she does not sit for more than twenty minutes at a time
without taking a short walk, to avoid problems with cramp, etc. She is
presently using an egg timer for this purpose. Can anyone recommend a
timer that gives a sound alarm and is both 'light and smart'.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Thanks >>
Coincidentally I asked in our local 'gold mine' watch repair place for the
same thing today and was told that no stop watch/watch has an alarm facility
that can conveniently be set for a short period. However, I purchased a very
smart 3" diameter stainless steel kitchen timer recently in a local cook shop
for less than a tenner though and think that is the best solution. Some
modern kitchen gadgets are pretty smart looking and I suggest that is her
best option.
