does such a wristwatch exist ?

[AngryScientist]

it's been a while since i bought a digital, work-out typed watch.

what i'm looking for is something for interval training. an audible beep every "x" duration, continuing without user interaction.

the use would be when doing rowing intervals, to hear an audible beep every minute to switch pace, or whatever the interval i'm trying to do calls for.

a nice big display with stopwatch for running included would be a nice plus.

this place never lets me down with recommendations for stuff. any ideas?

This comes to mind, but it may be a bit overkill... (http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-Forerunner-310XT-Waterproof-Running/dp/B0025VKW5K)

I have an Suunto Ambit2S and it is, by far, the best fitness watch I have ever owned. I use my Ambit for running, trail running, hiking, skiing, cycling(both road and mtb). I am not 100% certain it has the native interval functionality you are looking for. However, there are many free third party apps on www.movescount.com that you can download to your watch that will likely provide your preferred functionality. As an aside, my Suunto has been flawless and glitch free in the year or so that I have owned it. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about the many Garmin fitness watches I have previously owned.

My cheapo Timex does intervals. Not the most elegant interface, but it works for the gym fine. They have a few models with this feature, I think.

Most Timex Triathlon models have a Countdown function that can be set to repeat. This sets a repeating interval mode, with the beeper chiming a few seconds at the end of every interval.

There are a variety of different versions of the Triathlon, some with big numbers, some with small numbers, and most are pretty inexpensive.

If it's nice round number and you're using a Concept II rower you can just look at the PMxx display for the time. (At least that's what I used to do back before I messed up my elbow.) And you can set up intervals:

The image below is from the PM2 manual, which is pretty old, but that's what I know. I have to believe that the more recent ones are even better, since they are more powerful and can do a lot more.

Google "Interval Timer (https://www.google.com/search?q=interval+timer&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=fflb&gws_rd=ssl#q=interval+timer&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=fflb&tbm=shop)" and you'll find many options out there for those needing workout timers. I've considered one, myself.

If it were just inside use, I would get an app that does that. I got the Timer app by Push Press, and I like it. I have used it for rowing on the concept two I have in the basement.

FUNNY-I bought one of these(mine was blue) in about 1982, and you could make it 'beep', lotsa runners had them, to make a certain 'pace', but you had to run with it next to your ear to hear it.

[Anarchist]

I think this is the most useful one

http://timex.ca/watches/timex-ironman-50-lap-t5k689cs

3 different countdown timers, 3 different interval timers all of which can be set to repeat and all of which can be set to ring an alarm when done.

You usually find them for about $50.
