I dispatch law enforcement and the default timer app on my apple watch is very useful for that. I mostly use it for status check on officers. It’s nice because I can say “5 minute timer called Johnny” and I have a quick visual for how long until I should check on Johnny. Nicer still, I can have a separate timer for Susie and Jeff running at the same time too. Generally, I ask their status if we haven’t talked on the radio for 5 minutes though it can be longer.

The less convenient part comes when they talk to me before the timer is over. Let’s say Johnny talks to me when there’s still 3 minutes left on the 5 minute timer.

Is there a way to quickly reset the timer to the full five minutes again before the timer runs out?

As far as I know, you either have to wait the full 5 minutes and then you get the reset option. Or you have to delete the timer and create a new timer with the same length and label. I like everything else about the default timer app, so I’d prefer to keep using it. But if there’s a better app that lets me reset the timer at any point, that would be good to know too.
