Does or has anyone made an alternative to the Std $1000 and up segment timers out there on the market. I know I can use alarms on my phone but I would prefer a clock that visible with the period on it.
My last school had one of the professional ones with a remote and it made practice so much more efficient. But it is cost prohibitive.
Thanks!

We use one. I can't imagine trying to practice without one. The remote isn't necessary in my opinion.

I bought a portable outdoor speaker and then sync it with my phone. I bought an app for $1.99 and run it from there. The speaker makes the sound and i look at the phone if I need to know what segement we are in. Works great.

If your HC is an offensive guy, then you absolutely NEED a segment timer to stay on schedule lol.

I know I can have one on my phone etc. What I want is a cheaper version that ALL the coaches can see from the field and can be programmed.
I was thinking maybe a cheap flat screen, chrome stick, and some sort of app? Or maybe some segement timer used for crossfit or some other sport?

Do you have access to an electrical outlet close to your field? We have this in our weight room and we love it. Although I don't know how it would hold up in weather. www.roguefitness.com/rogue-echo-gym-timer

Also any idea if it would be visible in the sun?

Yes, the Rogue segment timer can show the period instead of "UP". It has multiple programming options. You can adjust the brightness as well...it is pretty bright indoors. Ours stays in our weight room though so I can't answer your question about visibility in the sun. Also, it needs to be plugged in.

we got a boxing timer. it only has 4 inch numbers and you cant see it from the whole field, but it keeps the head coach, dbs and receivers on time which helps everyone else
