I have lost count of how many times I reached in my range bag and pulled out a CED timer only to find that the battery was dead or almost dead. But their non-replaceable rechargeable batteries are a deal breaker for me. The CED 7000 and ShotMaxx timers are nice and have a few features that other timers don't. For personal training where I am reviewing the shots regularly the Pocket Pro II wins hands down from an ease of use and review perspective.
If I am ROing a match I think the best timer is the older Pocket Pro because of its better water damage resistance and always having the large format digit output. It isn't as easy to review shots on the older Pocket Pro verses the newer Pocket Pro II. My primary issue with the older Pocket Pro is how the timer functions with reviewing shots.
The older Pocket Pro has a clear plastic screen that covers the LCD so its more resistant to water damage. I never sent in the timer to have the LCD replaced, I would simply order a replacement LCD and replace it myself as its a fairly easy Soldering job to get done. I have replaced the LCD screen twice on my oldest Pocket Pro II due to water damage and Competition Electronics has awesome customer service. How it clips onto your pocket or belt also promotes this issue because the LCD screen is pointing upwards allowing water to get into the screen easily. If you shoot in rainy conditions and allow water to seep into the screen it will ruin it. The only issue with the Pocket Pro II is that the LCD screen is not water resistant at all. I have owned and used many different brands of shot timers over the years and have settled on the Pocket Pro II as my primary shot timer. So why not simply get a couple to try out and what you don't like sell it at a minimal loss? Shot timers are fairly cheap and hold their resale value well.
