Under the umbrella of essential photography tools, the Photographic Paterson Triple Timer stands out as a versatile and practical device. This multi-functional timer is not just a clock, but also a stopwatch and a three-stage timer, all accessible at the simple flick of a switch. Designed with the needs of photographers in mind, this triple timer is perfect for managing multiple stages of film development and photo printing processes. It's one of the few timers on the market that can count both up and down, making it a valuable asset for those involved in the intricate art of film development. The three countdown stages can operate simultaneously or as separate timers, providing flexibility and control over various stages of your photographic process. Whether you're pre-soaking, developing, or using blix, this timer can handle it all, making it a must-have tool for both amateur and professional photographers. While the device's buttons may require a bit of finesse, especially with wet hands, the overall functionality and convenience it offers outweigh this minor issue. The switches on the sides allow you to easily choose between "set" & "lock", and between the timers & the clock, adding to its user-friendly design. Despite its compact size, the Photographic Paterson Triple Timer is robust and designed to withstand the rigors of a busy photography studio. However, as with all electronic devices, care should be taken to avoid water damage. In the realm of photography equipment, the Photographic Paterson Triple Timer is a valuable addition, offering precision, flexibility, and control in one compact device.

For starters, definitely don't use your phone as a timer. For one, your phone will likely go to sleep while you're developing things. Also, you don't want to have to touch your phone while you're handling dangerous chemicals.

Secondly, having the 3 timers is a nice feature. I used mine for pre-soak, development, and blix, and then I just estimate for the rinse and stabilizer (for C41 processing).

That said though, this thing could be A LOT better, especially for the money. It's a little finicky and cheap-feeling switching between the timers. Also, everything should be buttons (and much bigger)?the switches on the sides to choose between "set" & "lock", and between the timers & the clock, was a bad design choice. When you're dealing with chemicals, you don't want to have to deal with operating a tiny little plastic gadget. I also don't trust that this thing isn't eventually going to get water damage.

I haven't found a better solution yet, but there has to be something better and cheaper on Amazon....

Patterson is a great company that makes great products. This isn't one of them...

One of the only timers I could find that could count up as well as down, so it works very well for developing film as well as printing photographs.  The buttons are a little difficult to switch, especially if you have wet hands from developing, but that is really a minor issue.
