Timer Card — +/− Placement Exploration

All three break the play → time reading flow, confuse primary vs. secondary actions, or give +/− too much visual weight. Here's why each fails:

Time and +/− are fused into one input-like component. Play stays separate. Clear that +/− adjusts the value, not playback. Reads left→right: action, then value.

+/− are borderless, low-contrast ghost buttons next to time. They're discoverable but clearly secondary. Keeps the row clean and uncluttered.

Small up/down arrows sit beneath the time like a numeric stepper. This unmistakably reads as "adjust this value" and takes almost no horizontal space.

Eliminates +/− entirely. The time is directly clickable/editable (dashed underline hint). This is the cleanest option — ask yourself if +/− is even the right interaction.

Similar to A but rounded/pill-shaped. The whole thing reads as one cohesive "time input" widget, clearly separated from the play action. Dividers reinforce the segmented affordance.
