Products - Flex Timer

How much bluetooth range is there?

Typical use should be within 50 feet of the device, but we have successfully used the clock and app from over 200 feet away. It varies based on the environment, weather and other factors.

How loud is the buzzer?

The buzzer in the Home and Gym Edition are 95db. That's really loud!  You can adjust the volume in the app though.

How big is the display?

The Gym Edition has 4.0 inch high digits and the Home Edition has 2.3 inch high digits. These bright digits can be seen from hundreds of feet away.

Can it be used outside?

The home and gym edition are for indoor use. The LED displays are not well suited to direct sunlight and the enclosure is not waterproof.

What heart rate monitors will it work with?

The Flex Timer app can integrate with any heart rate monitor that supports the bluetooth heart rate profile. This open standard allows any app to integrate with any heart rate monitor without tying you in to a vendor specific application.

Unfortunately, some companies do not follow this standard and instead use a proprietary protocol so that only their apps or their approved partner's apps can integrate with their technology.

The following cheststrap heart rate monitors will work with the Flex Timer:

The following wristband/armband heart rate monitors will work with the Flex Timer:

Apps

How do I change volume for the Flex Timer?

To change the volume, you need to go to the preferences - audio page. At the bottom is a setting for Flex Timer Audio > Volume.

How do I change the time zone for daylight savings time?

To change the timezone, you need to go to the devices - Flex Timers page. While connected to your Flex Timer, press the name of the timer and choose the 'Settings' option. The settings page has a timezone offset that can be adjusted to account for daylight savings time.

Connection Issues

I cannot connect to the timer via BlueTooth. What should I do?

Follow the in-app connection guide available in the drawer menu (top left of the main screen). There are instructions unique to both iOS and Android.

That didn't work, what else can I try?

For Samsung users, please follow these instructions as well: We have received numerous reports of issues with our timer and the Samsung Galaxy Devices after they update to Android 10. Prior to Android 10, they worked fine. The issues seems to only be with the latest update.
Unfortunately, since we did not make any changes on our end, this issue appears to be limited to only Samsung Galaxy devices. Additionally, there are numerous complaints online about this impacting BTLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) with other BT devices as well.
