Product ReviewsFINIS 1.05.120 Tempo Trainer Pro Pacing Device

Works great and is very durable

It is my first tempo trainer, so I really have nothing to compare it to, but I'm happy with it. Other than the beeping that I hear when I'm practicing, I don't really notice that it is there because it is very lightweight. It also appears to be durable because I've already dropped it several times, and it is still working fine. I'd recommend it to anyone trying to perfect their timing while doing laps.Read full review...

Couldn't hear the high pitch

Because of high register hearing loss I can't hear the beeps very well. If only it were a lower frequency beep (like around 500 hz). I can hear the beeps when it is in my swim cap, but as soon as I am splashing in the water, I can't hear the beeps any more. I couldn't hear the beeps running outdoors either. I suspect for someone with better ears, it is fine. I don't know, but I would guess it is about 3000 hz.Read full review...

Works, but expensive

Works great. Expensive for what little technology it takes to create such a device. It doesn't have to be as wide as it is and could easily be thinner and thus more comfortable. It's easy to hear and not too loud that swimmers in the next lane can hear it.Read full review...

Great swimmer training device!

I purchased 3 of these for my son who is a competitive swimmer. My understanding is that is use for 2 different timing methods though would need to ask him further to understand this. I bought the 3rd because there were quite a number of reviews that state that the device battery cover leaks and it gets flooded and dies. I have not found that any of these have flooded yet after several months almost daily use. I was however a bit surprised that it holds its seal well, despite having no ring gasket or any apparent seal. Good plastic to plastic fit appears to work on this device. So overall, it does assist with training very much.Read full review...

Good product; some drawbacks

The concept is very good and the unit is easily programmed. The problem I had is that I couldn't find a location under my cap where I could hear the tone while submerged (I could hear it fine when standing in shallow water, but it was difficult or impossible to hear while swimming). Maybe my ear canal filled with water while swimming?Read full review...

This is a great product to keep your pace

Item was new and unused in original packaging. I bought this to replace my first trainer whose display had decided to only show a portion of its display. I am glad I kept my first because I swapped the battery out of the old and popped it into the new one and walla, ready to go. This arrived quickly and I am a happier swimmer now.Read full review...

When it works, it's great. Then it breaks.

Worked great for the first few months. Then one day stopped making sound. Still turns on but can't change modes or beep. Sadly there aren't any alternatives out there.

so far so good!!!

we bought this for our daughter as a christmas gift .. she loves it!! .. no complaints so far!!
