Is the QJ speedstack Timer worth buying?

[cincyaviation]

For the ones who wonder... i've tried it, and it's the same accuracy as an original speedstack stackmat.

how do you know?

This is what I really need to hear!
I will definitely buy it

he said it. he tried the timer himself, assuming that he also tested the actual accuracy with a atomic clock.

i would get it because of its smexy colour and its cheap.. i find the one on the speed stacks site really expensive.. plus thinking about the shipping is just crazy.

i use QJ timer and it's working great so far

maybe if you considering the durability, most of the time higher price = higher durability

i've use this timer for 1 month

the main difference is the finishing

not as smooth as stackmat

but again, who needs smooth finishing?

you only need it to shows you the time, aren't you?

No. Buy a proper one.

ehm, if it's only for personal use, why pay more if you can pay less? ^_^

i think nearly everyone is in agreement that they arent worth buying due to inaccuracies in the timing mainly lol

it is accurate... i've tested it head to head with stackmat

If this is your first timer, get a QJ,because then you can decide if you will use it enough to get the speedstacks one. And it would make no sense to get a QJ timer if you already had the speedstacks one. Unless of course, yours broke. And also some of us are too poor to get a speedstacks one.

LOL

in indonesia, "the original" speedstack sold for nearly US$ 45

and the QJs are sold for only US$ 17

i definitely buy QJ

From what I have seen, the Stackmat is not very accurate device. I think I'll get one of those cheapo-timers and see if it is possible to make the length of the second remotely controllable. It should work on the Stackmat also. (That's where I got the idea). I would be most famous cheater in the world.

I'm betting all these "timers" are is just a small LCD driver type circuit, and the timer circuit itself is probably just a 555 timer with a resistor and capacitor, very simple timer. Just need a few volts, a resistor, a cap, a switch, and some sort of viewing device (a single LED works fine as well)! So if that simple of a circuit is what's used, then yes, you could make the length of the "second" however long you wanted.

Negative: How have you tested them? You said head to head, but the only one way I know of to accurately test them against each other is to know for 100% certainty that you are starting and stopping it at the same time. The only way I know to do that is wire switches to both timers and hit the switch since it's connected to both. Oh, and to be even more devil's advocate: the wire length would have to be the exact same too (even though 1/4" of wire won't show up in the time we can view, there is certainly a timescale that could see that latency ).

i'm getting one for my Bday wtf, that was supposed to be a

A qj or speedstack?

Do you have any friends with a speedstack willing to do an experiment with you? Lol

Okay.

Ny brother has a QJ timer. He has had it a while, but it is now running at approximately 1.5 times faster than my speedstacks. We've swapped batterys, compared it to other timers and stopwatches. I was wondering if anybody else had a QJ which developed this fault?

I've had mine for a while and it doesn't seem to have any noticeable time changes. I don't think that my times are any different from a keyboard to the QJ.

 

[bigbee99]

I think it works fine

 

[hig]

Mine works fine.
Compared to the speedstacks price tag of $21 plus $25 shipping to Canada, I am very pleased with the $12 QJ and free shipping from pb.

That can't be right.

nope i got one in a trade and it came today and the think is broken right when i opened the package
