So far so good! I’m a teacher and my students absolutely love this timer. I have a large visual timer (the one that shows the color on the clock), this one is good for shorter count-downs, and it turns red once it gets to 59 seconds, which is a great visual that time is almost up. It’s holding up to abuse from 500+ students between 6-10 years old, and the battery being rechargeable is a bonus! It stinks having to find batteries last second. It works as intended and on the highest brightness is very visible from across a room. Read more
Good clock being used for pickup basketball. Was using a phone as a timer before. However, started using this clock because of its large display. Now it is easy to see how much time we have left. Read more
I use this timer daily to keep my online classes running on time. I teach back-to-back sessions, so staying punctual really matters, and this clock has been a huge help. It also adds a nice look to my workspace. The big display is easy to see at a glance, I can read it clearly while teaching. Setup was very intuitive—I didn’t need to read the instructions. It’s quick to set and reset between activities. I plug it up to my outlet and don't have to worry about a battery life. One feature I really appreciate is the sound options. You can choose a beep or music when time is up and adjust the volume across three levels. You can also turn the sound off completely, and the timer will blink instead. That’s my favorite option because sometimes I don’t want my learner to know when time is up. Overall, this has been a smart buy for me, easy-to-use, and I reach for every day. Highly recommend.

Very large numbers, easy to use, and like the option of ringtones! Can use it on counter easily with its stand, or on refrigerator with its magnets. Read more
This is a fantastic timer. I love it. I use it for a kitchen timer. And for those that might be wondering, it comes with an AC adapter so that you can plug it into a wall outlet as well. I believe it is a smart charger because you can leave it plugged in indefinitely. The charging symbol disappears when the battery is fully charged. The large display is wonderful because you can see it from across the room. I highly recommend this timer. Read more
An overly thoughtful device with a lot of quality of life features baked in. Pros: -Giant with good viewing angles. Sometimes even with 7 segment displays like this, the viewing angles can suck, which I don't know why, it's an LED through a diffusion layer. This helps since as I later go into, my kitchen is long, like 50ft deep, long. Not even a slight exaggeration. So, having a giant display means I can peak from around the living room, and glance at the time remaining without straining. -Mounting features a plenty. I forgot this had magnets in it. You can wall mount it as well, has a built in kick stand. Also like that the magnets have rubber feet on the back so it won't scratch whatever surface you put this on. -REALLY THOUGHTFUL quality of life features. This timer turns itself off after its done running through a timer. The alarm goes off after a minute, so if you're using this to be mindful of something like a load of laundry, this will beep for a minute and then shut up. Which can be a bit of a double edged sword. Different alarm sounds, most of them not great, but if the beep drives you insane there's some other song blurbs to change it up. I think there's 4, a reverie style, a calypso one, the classic beep, and a different style of beep. While annoying, that this doesn't have an up and down feature for time adjustments, it does have a five minute and 1 minute increment button while also having a reset feature to start over again from the beginning, instead of waiting to loop around. Cons: -Quiet: Now this isn't SUPER QUIET, don't get me wrong, but I live in a big house and the place I would use this the most, the Kitchen, takes up a 1/3rd of this house, it's an obnoxiously large kitchen (about 20ft x 50ft in a house with a 20ft x 150ft foot print) so, the timer sits on the fridge to let me know to check on the pot of boiling eggs or check on the pizzas since the built in oven timer is inaudible if I have both the 60in Kitchen TV on and the living room TV on. I can hear this but the beep is JUST audible, but nearly able to tune out or block out. If I had to put a dB rating on it, probably around 70dB. Feel like my custom PC is louder when the fans are on full tilt. -Hour Minute, or Minute Seconds, can't have all three. There's only two modes, though it is nice that Hour mode does go up to 99 hours, if you need that. I think you'd have to plug it in for that to work. But it is annoying you can't have hour: minute: second set up if you need something precise. -If you're adding minutes or seconds to something, like say you're in the minutes/seconds mode, and you hit 59 seconds, if you press the 1s button again, it's not going to tick that as 1 minute, but go back to 00s. Conclusion: More than pleased with my purchase, and more than surprised with how many thoughtful quality of life features are built in. Definitely would recommend. Read more
It’s not as big as it appears in the pics IMO. But it’s large enough it works for our needs. Easy to use. Read more
Almost perfect- it just needs a low battery alert/beep. Otherwise, It can turn off during a timing session. Read more
