Problem with Stackmat Timer Type I

[dbax0999]

So a few days ago I received this stackmat timer I bought off of cube4you. The timer appears to work normally, however when doing magic solves I noticed something odd.

This was my average: (1.28), 1.28, 1.28, 1.28, (1.28)

After messing around with it I noticed it only displayed the time to the nearest .16th of a second.

Also I was trying to stop it at exactly 4.00 and right when I stopped it it skipped down a second to 3.00 seconds. (I will upload a video of this later)

Has anyone else had this problem with the Type I stackmat? What should I do with it?

Thanks

I would say it is simply a defective timer, return it for another. Simple as that

Why did you get a Type I stackmat? You should've asked someone... those timers are very bad and outdated. I think they all run like that. There is a reason they are no longer allowed in competition

The stackmats from cube4you are chinese knockoffs... In the description he says the timer is only accurate to .16s Don't bother using these ever.

You just hadn't read the description before your purchase, sorry about your misfortune.

So where can you get a real stackmat? Or at least a Type 2.
