The Qiyi Smart Timer is a modern Bluetooth-enabled timing device specifically designed for speedcubing enthusiasts who want to track their progress and improve systematically. Through secure Bluetooth connectivity, all your solve times are automatically saved to the Smart Player mobile application without requiring manual transfers or computer connections.
A major advantage of this timer is its compatibility with any cube of your choice – you don't need an expensive smart cube. Simply place the timer on an XMD Mat or QiYi M Pro, and you have professional-grade equipment used by competitive solvers worldwide.
The Smart Player application features an intuitive and user-friendly interface compared to competing apps from GAN and Moyu. Available free for both Android and iOS, it offers numerous features: average tracking (5 and 12), comprehensive statistics, scramble generation, visual representation of optimal cross and x-cross solutions, penalty options (DNF, +2), and access to world rankings. You can download and test the app without a physical timer since it includes a built-in timing mode.
The timer includes a WCA-compliant inspection time function with audible alerts at 8 and 12 seconds, allowing you to realistically simulate official competition conditions during home practice. Averages display directly on the timer's screen, while detailed statistics and performance graphs are accessible through the app.
Equipped with a 2.5mm port, the timer connects to computers or external displays. It operates on AAA batteries (not included). The timer is compatible with XMD and QiYi M Pro mats.
