Seconds is an extremely popular, and highly versatile interval timer app for High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), Tabata and circuit training workouts.
Download Seconds for free on iOS or Android and try all it's features. A one time in-app purchase for the Seconds Pro upgrade will allow you to save your timers rather than recreating them each time.
Seconds comes with templates for common interval programming allowing to build advanced timers in a matter of moments.
If the templates do not fit your needs you can use the custom timer to build your timer one interval at a time. You can even combine and loop through many timers using the compound timer.
Often when working out you just want to keep your phone in your pocket and get on with it. But if you are doing a circuit involving many intervals how do you remember what's next?
Seconds will speak your interval names, so this is never a problem. There is even an option to let you know what the next interval is so you have time to prepare before it starts.
If you are looking for a mediation or yoga timer text-to-speech or high pitch beeps may not be appropriate. For situations like these Seconds comes with more soothing alerts such as bells and gongs, or you may wish to have no alert sounds at all, or just a vibration. All these options are available.
Seconds provides plenty of options for how you listen to your music while you workout. A few options include:
Of course, if none of those suit you, you can simply listen to your favourite music player in the background and Seconds will play it's alerts over the top.
Importing and exporting timers from Seconds Pro could not be simpler. Just select the timers you wish to share and hit Export. Timers can be sent via email or AirDrop (on iOS devices).
Timers can even be shared with friends that don't have the app via the web sharing function. Once shared, an online timer will be created for anyone to use on any device.
Seconds Interval Timer will continue to alert you of interval changes whether in the background or the foreground.
Colored intervals are great when you just need a visual clue to see which interval you are on and what is coming up next. Seconds displays the the whole screen in the current intervals color, apart from the next interval which uses it's own color.
Seconds has 10 colors to choose from with an advanced option to customize the colors if you wish.
Seconds utilises all the available width for the main timer display so it's easy to read at a glance. By default it displays the interval time remaining, but can be configured to show total time remaining, or elapsed times.
Highly recommend. Perfect for building a schedule and sticking to timed workouts.
Been using it for almost 10 years! But it went away on my Apple Watch! It’s an old Apple Watch but works and I don’t want to get a new one just for this app to work. I didn’t need any other bells and whistles! The old version worked fine for me. Please bring it back!
Now an excellent app, but unfortunately since recent updates preparation time on Apple Watch and complication are not working
A simple but highly effective app, I found gym apps have to many options and you need to be training in the gym not messing on with an app.
Very affordable and very clear to read
Updating my review I think a few years later .. still an amazing app I always returned to this one. It’s perfect for custom timers!
Old review: This is the perfect app making it so much easier to plan exercise routines. You can simply name the exercise and give it a time limit, seconds will tell you the exercise name and when to start and finish.
I needed a timer for HIIT work outs, yoga & stretching; seconds pro has been my go to timer app for years now, it’s amazing. Easy to use and just works! Can’t recommend this app enough.
The best interval timer!!! You will not get a better experience on an Apple Watch !! Thanks to the developers for hearing and always taking in consideration, our feedback . This app is essential for me as an orangetheory coach and I wouldn’t trade it from any !
Exactly what I was hoping for! I used ChatGPT to create a run plan for me, and had it convert the plain text to JSON format. This app recognized the code and was able to import the runs in the plan.
I just easily migrate my timers from 13Pro to 17Pro. Feel happy.
Literally my most important app on Apple Watch
I have used for years mostly for creating custom mobility workouts but also sometimes just for timers for planks or back holds. App is easy to use.
I looked up interval timer this morning and tried Seconds for free, based on ChatGPT recommendations for my needs. It was very easy to set up exactly what I wanted in an exercise program. 7 warm up exercises, 60 seconds for each exercise, with the software announcing each exercise. I will use more of the features as I go along, but this was easy to get started with.
App disappeared from watch 😔
