Review on πŸ–οΈ BigMouth Inc. Retirement Countdown Timer: Beach Themed Countdown Clock for Retirement, Resettable, Perfect Gift by Jenny Smith

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Be sure to bring a magnifying glass if you're giving someone a gift.

OK I bought this as a retirement gimmick and it really did the job, but I have to say I was a bit disappointed. The picture is misleading and this thing is really tiny. The entire front is about the size of a business card, making the screen very, very small. Batteries are not included (requires 2 "AA") so the seller is making a huge profit for the price as this thing probably costs $0.50 in China. I thought the countdown part would have a larger "countdown" in seconds by clicking, but you set the date and set the current date and it just gets the maximum number of days and then in microscopic text hours etc. displayed somewhat complicated. If I understand correctly, after installation you have to wait for it to count to that date before it can be reset(?), so make no mistake.

Pros
  • Nice touch
Cons
  • Annoying
