opinions about ShotMAXX?

I've never used or seen one. However I'm surprised more guys don't have them to color coordinate with their AA backpack/bag.

For dry fire practice at home I use the shot timer app from surefire.
 
I'm not interested in a pink one to match my handbag…I just think it looks handy, less stuff for me to have to keep track of or hanging off of my person is the only reason why I'm interested, but I don't want one if it's crap…
here's the link http://www.shotmaxx.com
from what I understand they come from the Netherlands and they are brand new, maybe 5 reviews from what I could find, but they look promising...
 
Seeing that I only have availability to shoot at a public range, I like that it will time only the shots of the person wearing the watch even with others shooting around it. Hmmm. This forum costs me money every time I get on it! Let me know if you get one how it works.
 
Pricing isn't bad. Not sure if I'd like it on my arm like a watch though. Sometimes with rimfire rifle the RO has to put the shot timer right out by the muzzle to get any of them to register the shot.
 
I have a Shotmaxx. It's pretty badass. Definitely worth the money if you're going to use it for a personal timer. It's few setbacks are the par time is limited to 99.99 seconds, and the instructions it comes with aren't all that great.

A big plus is it is very much out of the way when training. No big box hanging off your shorts or dangling from a strap. It has a few levels of sensitivity, and a built-in accelerometer. They just released new software for the accelerometer that allows you to run the Shotmaxx during a stage and get your time down to within 0.1sec of the timer in the RO's hand. Pretty badass. I actually used mine that way once by activating it at the start beep in Silent Mode. It was interesting, and allowed me to see my stage time immediately. Activating and setting the functions seems odd at first because it's not like a Pact or CED, but it is intuitively designed and easy to use. I thought about ditching my CED7000 after using the Shotmaxx a few times, but decided to keep the CED as a backup for matches. The timers at matches are flakey with some regularity, and no one around here but me knows how to use a Shotmaxx.
 
We used one last weekend when shooting indoors(video in the video subforum) because my CED wouldn't pick up the .22 when I stuck the barrel through a hatch, it worked great and since I do alot of indoor training with .22 kit during winter I guess I must have one myself.

It's easy to use, and unless you're an idiot you can probably learn how to start using it as a basic timer in under a minute.

DAA has recently introduced the shot timer watch. Ultra geekometer.

Don't be surprised when you bend over to pick up a piece of steel at the next match and somebody pulls your underwear up over your head and you turn around and see me Mitch. Lol!
 
Note to self: keep attending all local matches as usual, and Tischauser will have no opportunity to deliver said wedgie.

On a serious note, I couldn't resist just because it's a watch. I like watches.

Also, it has to be charged maybe once a week. Kind of a PITA, because you need a micro-USB charger to charge it. My phone doesn't use a micro-USB charger, so I had to buy an adapter. Easy to find on Amazon, from China, for $1.79 shipped. YOU HAVE GOT TO REMEMBER TO CHARGE IT.

Oh, and it has adjustable volume, so when you use it indoors for dryfire it won't be so awful when it beeps.

When the alarm accidentally goes off do you automatically draw your pistol?

It's not a very good watch. No alarms or time zone elephant dung. No lap counter. It shows time and date. It's really just a timer with awesome features that no other timer has or can even offer.
