Default Stylus usage timers

I have no idea how I found these today, but there are two products out that are designed to help keep track of hours on a stylus. I know some people have used clickers doing one click per side, but these seem a bit more accurate. There is the KAB Stylus Minder and another product called StylusTimer. There's a bit of a price delta (small change in the grand scheme of this hobby), but I like the 20 minute feature on the KAB, though the StylusTimer looks nicer. Has anyone picked either of these up?

I make a mark on a piece of paper after each side and count a mark as 22 minutes. It works out over time.

The old ways are usually the best... My father did this.
