Title: STUPID user interface
Review: The timer looks nice, and the setting ring is indeed made of nice heavy cast metal. But the way that you set it is STUPID: you start by twisting the ring. This wakes it up, and makes the HOUR numbers start flashing. Now you can set the HOURS. But how many times do you want to set a kitchen timer for more than an hour? To get to the minutes, you have wait five seconds for the SECONDS numbers to start flashing. NOW you can set it.Just as stupid: when you hit the RESET button, instead of resetting the timer back to whatever you originally set it to, it sets it to ZERO. So now you get the pleasure of going through the whole setting process again.You'd think it would be hard to goof up the user interface to something as simple as a kitchen timer. But they've succeeded, to the point where they need to print two paragraphs of instructions on the bottom.Get something else.
