A match clock that counts like the real thing
A football match clock counts up from 0:00. The first half runs to 45:00 and the second half from 45:00 to 90:00. Referees add time for stoppages at the end of each half, so the clock keeps running until the whistle.
This timer works the same way. When a half reaches its length it plays a short beep and keeps counting, showing the added time below the clock, for example +2:14. Press next to blow the whistle and end the half. Turn off Count added time if you want each half to end on the dot.
