Review on Thermopro TM01 Kitchen Timers: Count Up/Countdown Digital Timer with Touch Backlit - Perfect for Cooking, Kids & Classroom Study by Sal Muniz

This is not only a clock but also a timer. You can start from 0 and use it as a countdown timer, or you can set the time and let it count down. The volume can really crank up. My wife was just walking around the house asking me what those "beepers" were. Once it hits zero on the countdown, it will continue to tell you how far you've gone from "0". The display lights up when you touch a "bulb" on the front, and there's a fold-out panel on the back that lets you stand up like a picture frame. This is perfect for me as I work from home and need to keep up with my schedule. It also has two magnets on the back so you can attach it to the medal.
