I need two different timers, one that counts up from 0 to 60 and one that counts up from 0 to 3, and keeps repeating until the 60- second timer has finished.

Just a thought and it might not apply to your situation.

For most timers that are for a specific length of time, it has been my observation that a countdown timer is more useful than a count up timer. Reason being that with a countdown timer, you know what the end point is automatically. With a count up timer, the end point is unknown OR must be visible as a separate number and as a user, you have to compare those two numbers to get a feel for how much time remains until the end point is reached. With a countdown the end point is always zero and regardless where you started, you can quickly determine when the end point will be reached.

Just my two cents and of course, your mileage may vary and my advice could be all wrong for your situation.
