🏖️ BigMouth Inc. Retirement Countdown Timer: Beach Themed Countdown Clock for Retirement, Resettable, Perfect Gift Review

My wife is a teacher and is retiring this year. I thought it would be great to get her a countdown clock. Well let me tell you that she loved the idea and this product. The device is a bit smaller than I expected, but still big enough for reading. Programming is a little tricky, but if you follow the instructions carefully, this task isn't too bad. My wife asked if she could pass this on to the next teacher who would retire after her. Great product to help you count down to the big day of…

I bought this to keep on my desk and count down to retirement in about 6 months. I received it and set it up according to the instructions provided and within 2 weeks the number countdown went completely insane showing inconsistent numbers and dates. Remove batteries, reinstall, same thing. Tried a third time, same thing. So I sent it back for a replacement and when it arrived I set it up and what do you know within 2 weeks it was doing the exact same thing. I don't think I did anything wrong…

This countdown timer looks much better on the website, but don't be fooled. Unfortunately, not only is it not easy to set up, it doesn't support a countdown, and after countless time resets, it continues to be inaccurate. In addition, the LCD screen disappears for hours and sometimes days as if the batteries were dead, which in fact it wasn't. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and put in new alkaline batteries to no avail. I read all the negative reviews about it but thought maybe it was just

I'm not sure what the problem is with the setup described. I got the retirement countdown and barely glanced at the instructions and it was set up in about 30 seconds. This might fall into the "people who remember VCR programming" category, not something like that ;) Anyway, the only downside for me is that it's smaller than I'd like. The only problem is that he loses the last countdown numbers about every week. So let's say instead of 3015 days there are 310 days. And others say it's changing…

Everything had everything I needed and was actually pretty customizable with one slightly annoying downside. Pros: Simple countdown clock, simple and effective. The instructions are also quite simple. There is a plastic lid that sits on top of an actual Countdown to Retirement piece of cardboard. You can erase it, scan it, and then create your own little countdown face. What I did. Cons: As other reviews suggest, installing batteries is quite a hassle. And I mean ENOUGH trouble. But with the…

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…

I'm a smart person. I can read and follow directions. This countdown clock DOES NOT WORK. This is a cheap POS that I will refund. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY or your sanity hoping you will get what works! I tried to program this 3 times and my husband tried 2 times, we both got 94 days, but the retirement date is 03/10/2021, 895 days (as of today 04/22/19). If you REALLY buy one and it doesn't work, reading all those reviews of people claiming it's so easy to program will only make you more…
