Down, just like most timers that I know. When you look at it at any given time you know how much more time you have until it rings.

Yes but the numbers before it will be 0 and with every press it will count up from there...

If you press start, it starts to count up. If you then press stop/reset button, it stops counting up. If you press stop/reset button again, it resets. If you put in an amount of time, such as 44 minutes, press start button it starts to count down. If you then press stop/reset button, it stops the countdown. If you press start again, it continues to count down. If you press stop/reset again, it resets to zero.

No. it will not count up or down for more than nine hours, 59 min's. and 59 sec's. The timer was designed that way.

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

Yes; I have used it to count up seconds (probably works for mins as well). If you start with zeros (both units buttons pressed simultaneously) and then press the left hand side (start) button it counts up until you stop it by pressing the start/stop button again. One press holds the elapsed time, if pressed again, it resumes the count again where it left off -- press m/s buttons simultaneously again to restart at zero.

no. it comes up and tells you it is out of range. when you come back within range, it comes back up.

You can manipulate the time either way you want. It does not have to count down on its own. It's easy to slide. You just push the red with your finger.

Yes, it will count up until the stop button is pressed. I've never let the timer go beyond a minute and a half before turning it off so, I can't tell you how long it will continue to beep when time is up.

I don't know about a counting-up feature, but the timers can be started and stopped independently. And the alarms are different too, so you know which one is chiming if the timing is close.

Yes and no. Yes, it continues to count up while beeping (because the time is up) until you press "stop". (Very helpful for baking to know how long passed the time it is.) No, you can't use it to count up silently. If that is what you're looking for, this isn't it. Once you push "stop" the timer quits beeping and you cannot push start again to have it continue counting up silently. My old Taylor model would continue to count up silently after you pushed "stop" and only stopped completely if you pushed it twice.

To get it to count up, press the Start/Stop button once. It will begin to count up by seconds. To turn it off and reset it to zero, press both the M (minutes) and S (seconds) buttons at the same time.

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

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

Yes, it does click as it counts down ..... the electronic timers do not click but they don't work in all applications ..... hope this helps.

Not really. It registers a certain number of hits, and then signals and turns off when the total number of hits is reached. But there's no way to tell how many hits you've sustained until then.

Yes, count to 2 and it's on. Not a problem once you get used to it. Good unit.
