'Time' vs 'timing'

[Tom]

Hi

Could you please tell me which of the following sentences is correct and most natural?

1- The timings of the meeting are 3:00pm to 5:30pm.
2- The timing of the meeting is 3:00pm to 5:30pm.
3- The time of the meeting is 3:00pm to 5:30pm.

Hi Tom,

Of the three I would plump for number 3. Isn't it simpler to say: The meeting is from 3 to 5?

Timing is used more to suggest calculating how long something lasts or the speed and pauses associated with the delivery of a speech or the appropriateness of when something happens.
