App idea: Basic timer (seriously)

As far as I can tell, no one has made a standard timer, for, say, timing your tea/coffee brewing or other simple kitchen stuff. Very handy if you can save a few preset times (4min, 5min, 10min) etc to count down from. Once timer counts down to zero, sound alarm.
  • Which watch? Some do have a built in time and stopwatch.

    On other's I do think there are times in the app store. The thing with CIQ based, is they have to be running in the foreground - you can't start a timee, go back to the watchface, and have a notification when it expires. Check for "A" type apps for your device.

    Many thanks!

    However, this is quite a little back-and-forth button dance for a rather frequent, simple need.

    - Long press left middle button
    - Press left lower button
    - Press top right button
    - Press left lower button
    - Press top right button

    - (Press left middle or lower buttons to adjust) and/or
    - Press top right button

    I think there's room for improvement here :D

    I believe the Fenix 5S should have a handful of customizable "hot keys". You can probably configure one to go directly to the timer.
