Kind geting off topic - but does the count down timer have a count down /
repeat mode?


I don't understand the question. What do you mean by "repeat mode"?


That is when you set it to alarm at 45 minutes, or whatever you set, and
when you cancel it, the time is available to count down again when you start
it again.


My $14 digital Expedition does it.

My $40 Sporty's "Flight Timer" doesn't. 8^(

Actually, the countdown / repeat mode that I use (Timex Ironman)
automatically re-starts every time it gets to zero - If I set it for 5
minutes, it counts down, starts beeping, and restarts - so every 5 minutes I
get another alarm...
