The watch beeps each second of the final 10 seconds before a countdown reaches zero, and at zero. The first five beeps (seconds 10 through 6) are higher pitched than the final five beeps (seconds 5 through 1). The watch emits a longer beep to signal when the countdown reaches zero.

Progress Beeper
The term “progress beeper” actually includes two beepers: a reset time beeper and a reset period progress beeper.
