I am looking for a digital timer for an enlarger, not a timer with sweep hands like the GraLab 300 or GraLab 2000 (I already have a 300 for film processing).

Whatcha got for sale or trade?
 
On my Durst enlarger, I use a Labotim.

This general purpose digital timer is what I use in my darkroom for enlarging and for UV printing alt process prints. It covers from 1 second to 24 hours. It is fairly straightforward to use this way, although not designed specifically for this. Cost is about $18 new here in US. I used it to replace my old analog timer that started sticking and getting inaccurate on shorter exposures. It's also very accurate on whole seconds, but no fractions of seconds.
 
I had an electronic timer fritz out on me. My favorite is an Omega ART (Audible Repeating Timer) that’s basically a Time-O-Lite that has a clicker/metronome feature.
 
When I still had a darkroom besides my Gralab I used a small kitchen timer that I found at Goodwill. Had three different timers with red LED's. Look for kitchen timers. I'm assuming your not looking for one with 125 vac power switches built in.

I suggest to get an f/stop timer, digital or analog, instead!
 
I have a gralab 450 with foot switch I don't use. I'll message you.

That said, I just can't imagine using a linear time increment timer anymore. Fstop timers are a lot more intuitive to use.
 
I'm a strong supporter of f/stop timers, including @Nicholas Lindan 's product.
It is nice though to see a few alternatives making their way on to the market.
 
How "digital"? I've got a Unicolor Division Unitimer 10x #496 I'm thinking of selling.
 
I used to have the Gralab 900 which is digital. But if I need one now I build one.

If a linear timer would be all I had. I'd use at least an f/stop timing table.
