If you open the timer app on a Xiaomi phone, you can click on a recent time to set the timer. Here I click on “19:00” and get 13 minutes. Why? Because if you click “go” before their gee-whiz animation is finished, you get whatever time happened to be on the dial at the time you pressed the button. Like, all they had to do was just have the button set the timer. And God forbid you just want to type a number. Nope. You have to spin a dial. It’s literally easier to do this right, but they chose to make it suck because it has to look cool.

        Don’t bother spouting incorrect information then. You made an incorrect assertion. I called it out. Simple as.

        Not sure what else I’m supposed to say. You saw a video about some app with timer dials. I have no way of knowing what app that is, but I know what it isn’t. That video you watched is incorrect based on my familiarity with the Google clock app.
