Love the tick but didn't get the marked one.

Other reviewers said it ticks loud so I bought it. I really like how the ticking every second reminds me of the task completion. With other timers I usually set it up and then in the middle of my task I forget about being spotted and then get distracted by the computer doing something else. Ticks are a great reminder for me as long as I can hear them. I removed the asterisk because I didn't see the color shown. Instead of red and silver, I got green and black. This doesn't match the rest of my…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • It makes me nervous

Decent design, poor construction

I had high hopes for this, especially as I like the size, the magnetic back and it's a lot cheaper than timers. Despite some other poor quality reviews, most of them reported that their faulty units were replaced without much hassle. Ours literally fell apart within a day with no falls or rough handling. I briefly thought I could just put it together, but it turned out to be more effort than it was worth. When I thought I would have to deal with a replacement that was about to break again at…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Sad hardware

Great visual timer. Suitable for children

I really like this timer. I've had it for about a month and use it about once a day. I originally used it for my kids so they could see how much time they had left for classes etc. I know it's hanging on my fridge and I use it to quickly determine cooking times. In the past few weeks he has survived several falls and throws and continues to work. Sometimes it keeps ticking (quietly) for a few seconds after the time sounds, just like cheaper egg timers sometimes do. This is noticeable and does…

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • No power

My daughter has dyslexia and it is very difficult for her to determine the time and hour that we gather in the morning. I bought it to help her better manage her school prep time. The glasses really help her a lot. I specifically bought this timer and not the others but with the minutes counting backwards on this timer because my daughter, being dyslexic, struggles with time and counting. I didn't want to teach her how to tell time backwards (although it makes sense to me. This product has…

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

Contact customer service!

I bought this product after reading all the negative reviews and decided to keep my fingers crossed because I liked the design and Timers have the same or worse ratings. Once opened the timer worked but no call came when the time was up. There is a phone number on the back of the package which I called and received a quick response and was put through to the person responsible for replacing the product. It was after hours so her voicemail instructed me to either leave a message or email her…

Pros
  • Solid build
Cons
  • Damaged

Timer for Kids with Autism

My 8 year old daughter has autism and this timer works like magic, keeping her on track and letting her know that her school lessons won't last forever. Many autism timers set the numbers backwards and this is not very visually appealing as the numbers run counter-clockwise as expected. It's hard enough for my daughter to tell the time. When she first started using the countdown timer we bought first, it really messed up her timing technique (switched numbers). She had to relearn the direction…

Pros
  • Beautiful
Cons
  • Some Mistakes
