Thank you, Richard for the good message. I know "Wait Please" will help me because I might though it is freeze if it stays too long. I prefer the display show the time down and down then I will know how much left time goes. Or display shows percent increasing. either one will help me to know BN is running.
Otherwise, BN has the vibration. It will help me to feel like this "vvv.....vvv.....vvv.....vvv....vvv". It is possible help me me. There are many new technical vibration on the watches, timer, and others. Much better than the old vibration.
