Lasted 4 years. Worked well esp. the vibration feature for getting a quick feel of the tempo (when audio isn't an option)... but programming song tempos and setlists was a BEAR! Plus it was very limited in terms of number of songs and setlists. So... I tried the Tempo2 for the iPhone/iTouch and goodbye Clickstation! This little sucker is a breeze to program and setup; a big bright display including a 'flash' mode on the first beat that lights up the whole screen on the click (the other option is the small round balls that flash). I'm using an iTouch, which doesn't seem to support vibration mode.. but I'd imagine the iPhone version does as it's built-in. Supports more song tempos and setlists than you can shake a stick at.. and drag and drop to reorder or copy to other setlists etc. Now the best part.. not only does this blow the Clickstation away in terms of display and programming - it only cost $2.00!! (plus it fits in your pocket!) For some screenshots showing various screens and themes see: http://www.frozenape.com/Tempo2/Tempo2_Gallery.html or on the slow loading Apple site: http://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/tempo-2-metronome/id368169363?mt=8 Edited by Tea Bag (Mon Oct 25 2010 10:00 AM) Post Extras:       Tea Bag Tiger Talk Pro Reged: Sep 16 2004 Posts: 1423 Loc: Canada Re: My new metronome [Re: Tea Bag]       #47078 - Thu Oct 28 2010 04:38 AM (129.42.208.183) Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   Tried it last night with my band and it worked flawlessly..was able to keep the space in between songs down to about 4 seconds or less in some cases. The visual flash is very good.. for now I'm using 4 beats to watch and 4 beats to count in the band.. so basically 2 bars of time. This is definitely the best $2 I've ever spent!
