Yes... counting up or counting down. Once started, just press the "START/STOP" button to pause and again to re-start.

Yes it does. With three options when finishing the countdown: Stopping, restart or star the chronometer.

It is a count down timer which is very loud, and it will do exactly what you need it to. Good Luck! Herb

Yes, you can set the timer (it counts down) pause it and it will resume counting down from where it left off.

To my knowledge, this clock only counts down, not up. I bought it for my son to play chess tournaments and it works very well.

Yes, if you clear it to zero then just hit start and it will count up. There will be an up arrow above the seconds counter to confirm this.

The timer is a count down timer. It does not have a real time clock. To use it, you need to tun the heater on and then set it.

Yes it does count up like a stopwatch. This is a great timer, I am pretty attached to it.

Yes. The timer counts passing time as well as counting down and there are two independent timers.

Hi - If you set the timer to count down, after it counts down and goes off, it will count up, but no alarm at the end of a count up time if that is what you are looking for. BEWARE of one thing about this timer. If you set it for an amount of time and it goes off, a normal individual's (me?) expectation would be that when you hot the switch to turn it off, that's it and the alarm will not continue to sound. Well, that's wrong. This crazy product will continue to ring every (30 secs? 1 minute?) until you go stark raving mad and exile it to another room so you no longer have to hear it. BUT - there is a solution I only recently discovered on my own. After you hit the STOP button, hit the button on the upper left side of the screen to return to the Clock function and the alarm will not continue to sound. This may sound crazy but the alarm problem was so annoying I avoided using this timer for about 2 years until I stumbled over this solution. And in answer to your second question, you would have to set alarm times and have the alarm go off to do a count up, but the 3 channels are independent.

Hi! Yes the timer ticks but it is only used in the toast mode to select the darkness of the toast. It is a great little toaster oven, nice and compact.

Yes, they do. It works just like you would want or expect it to. You program the time and then it counts down and if completed or paused and reset, returns to that same count down time.

I understand, than the timer will start from down for a number of hours you will choose. The number off hours is choose by the number of time you press the ''timer'' button.

Yes, with the time set to 0s press the start button and it begins timing counting up.

No, it is strictly a count-down timer. You can manually change it after the 2 hours, but cannot program it to change for you.

Yes. Just push the "Start Stop/Enter" button once. When you are ready to start it again, then press that button again and the timer will continue where it left off.
