Review on Teacher Created Resources Minute Timer by Jennifer Mitchell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great for what I was looking for

Bought these for office use for various "time checks" and they are big enough to be seen and the colors are clear enough that you don't have to look up from across the meeting room (30 feet) to tell which duration you're using. They can't tell the exact time left remotely, and they "suffer" from the usual hourglass issues (can't reset them quickly. They don't notify you when they're done, and it's hard to tell how much time they have is left). judging by the looks), but I was looking for these features, so I got what I expected :-) They seem to be quite durable (survived drops from 3-4 feet onto a carpeted concrete floor) As for some cons (the only reasons are 5/5 stars) One of mine (1 min) has end caps that don't "align" (in this case the timer is on its side, one end is on the edge and the other one on the side) AND the end caps are "glued tightly"" so I don't want to risk fixing it myself. That's really the only reason I gave it a 4/5. The 1 -Minute timer is 50 seconds and the 2 minute timer is 2:09 I didn't expect them to be super accurate but the 3, 5 and 10 minute timers are very accurate This doesn't affect mine Needs but may be useful information for others I will definitely buy again.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as others
