The clock/timer app precision for timers should be the second. It is not enough to be able to set the hours and minutes.
BUMP [@ScumCoder, Oct 2015]: guys, it's been almost two years. I really need seconds in my timer. AFAIK Jolla is the only phone which does not allow something as basic as that.

If it's not possible to have hours, minutes and seconds for a countdown, I'd suggest to chose only minutes and seconds for it.
My expectation would be to have a countdown with smaller, but more precise time periods. For everything beyond an hour the alarm clock is sufficient.
I can't imagine a use case, which includes time greater than an hour and needs to be on the second.

oh come on! There are like dozen of timers in store o-O
Advising to install a 3rd party software in order to have a proper stopwatch is the same as advising to install a diesel generator on the balcony of my apartment to have proper mains supply.
ScumCoder ( 2015-10-14 01:13:34 +0300 )@ScumCoder what are you talking about? do you want jolla to provide you with all the apps you need? It is just a f..ing stopwatch, not rocket science o_O If 3rd party is better then just use it

Minutes and seconds would be enough for me. I can't think of a use case, where you need hours for the timer. I like to set a time for eggs and tea, not a space shuttle launch ;)
prometoys ( 2013-12-28 14:56:43 +0300 )Hours are certainly useful, eg "the roast is ready in 1.5 hours" or "remember to pickup laundry".
pnuu ( 2013-12-28 15:00:03 +0300 )I was surprised that there were no seconds in the timer. It is needed
Mariusmssj ( 2013-12-28 15:17:35 +0300 )What about 90 minutes for the roast or a alarm for the laundry?
prometoys ( 2013-12-28 16:31:02 +0300 )Just quarter minutes would be an enhancement for me...
