S197Shelby Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Bought one and selling my CED 7000. Waiting for it to arrive from Europe. Shooting a department range i am almost always shooting with other people so the accelerometer feature was the ticket for me. Soon as I saw that I added to my cart and pulled out the credit card.

doublealpha Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Hi guys, The SHOTMAXX timers are now available from CED (www.cedhk.com), Speed Shooters and Shooters Connection in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSGlock34 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Just got mine, but didn't realize I couldn't update the firmware with a Mac. Any chance this will change in the future? I'd like to be able to take advantage of the updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundgearpro Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I have had my ShotMaxx for several month and believe this is the best training timer out. Everything is on your wrist. What could be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMike Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I agree. This is a great timer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHA-LEE Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I got one of these for Christmas and have used it on two separate practice range outings. So far I have used it to ROing others and ROing myself and It works great!!! Both range sessions I went out with the battery at 100% and by the time I got home it was at 95%, so the battery is up to the task for quite a bit of use before the battery goes dead. I am planning on using it this Saturday during a match to test out some of the other features, such as the stealth mode for tracking other shooters stage runs, and give it a good all day long normal ROing use. I will report back with how it worked out after the match day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will report back with how it worked out after the match day. I used mine for two 3 hour range sessions with no problems. I looked at it 5-6 days later and it still had plenty of battery power. After about a week and a half, I had to re-charge the battery. So yeah, very good matter life imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son Of The Griz Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 So I'm curious, has anyone tried using the accelerometer feature next to other people shooting. Does it actually work pretty well? A friend of mine bought one and we practice mostly at an indoor facility. So far, no "false" pick-ups with the accelerometer turned on and it seems to work as advertised :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I used mine saturday at a match while I was shooting the stages so I could go back and review my splits, etc. It worked great. Haven't had a chance to try it anywhere else yet but I will soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHA-LEE Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I have used mine quite extensively in both practice and local matches. It works awesome. From a technology perspective I think it is great. The only negative I can see so far is the fairly soft plastic screen that covers the LCD. Mine is already showing scuffs and scratches from being at the range doing "Normal" stuff. Given the cheap price point of this watch/timer I can see why they used the watch case they did. Maybe they will come out with a more robust version in the future that has a rugged construction that would be resistant to scuffs, and scratches while being at the range?

waktasz Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I thought I heard Saul say on a video that they were offering a screen protector and rubber skin for it but I don't see it on DAA's sight. You could probably buy a bit of screen protector film for a cell phone and cut it to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't it cost more than other timers? From a Cheap Price Point perspective I was talking about comparing it to high quality watches. If you want a high quality watch with scratch resistant glass, such as a sapphire crystal used for the glass, those are well in the $300 - $400 range. As for the current price point of the Shotmaxx watch/timer, given its compact size, features, ability to upgrade and future feature expandability (Blue Tooth Syncing, Mobile App support, etc) it is WELL worth the price they are charging.

JMike Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Its about $153 bucks but given the features it offers, it was worth the extra $ over what other timers cost IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm300 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I have to agree it is worth what you have to pay for it. I did take a piece of clear film and put it over the display. When it gets dinged up I will just pull it off and put on another one. I know the accelerometer works as I use it for Airsoft and it never misses a shot unless I shoot strong hand only and then it misses them all as I wear it on my support hand. That one feature is worth the price of admission to me. I had spent a lot trying to get a timer that would work well with Airsoft. First a 7000 airsoft model that worked OK most of the time. Then a stop plate and my 8000 that got the last shot all the time but I did not get splits. Now for about what the 7000 cost I have a timer that catches every shot. My only gripe is the black background on the display and I have gotten used to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt P. Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I bought mine and used it now for 3 weeks. All I can say is AWESOME. I come from the CED 8000 and big board for training. The only problem I have is that I wear the unit on my left wrist which means I need to start it with my right hand. By doing so, if I use a random start, I can not get my hand back into t a ready position quick enough to really be ready. So I just adjust the delay setting and use a fixed time. The beep is plenty loud enough and it works perfect. Love mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staro Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) I just got mine yesterday. It seems like My first shot always counted 1.25sec, even my other timer says I'm shooting like.98 or 1.01... Does anybody know anything about this? Please help! I'm in Japan and shooting airsoft,BTW... Edited January 10, 2014 by staro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By default the shot sensitivity is setup for picking up live fire rounds, not quiet airsoft shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm300 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Don't bother I just got mine yesterday.It seems like My first shot always counted 1.25sec, even my other timer says I'm shooting like.98 or 1.01...Does anybody know anything about this? Please help!I'm in Japan and shooting airsoft,BTW... Increase the shot sensitivity. By default the shot sensitivity is setup for picking up live fire rounds, not quiet airsoft shots. Don't bother, just set it to use the accelerometer. That works perfect for airsoft just don't expect it to pick up strong hand shots if you have it on your other hand.

staro Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Thanks guys. Auto start: on. Senser : airsoft Filter :002 Pick up Microphone I was trying to do reaction time practice :Pistol aiming a target, safety off, ready to shoot. As soon as the beep goes I pull the trigger so it should be like .25 to .30 but the timer counts like .58... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
