TIME TIMER Dry Erase Board Accessory —Small Desktop Magnetic Whiteboard for Time Timer MOD Visual Timer — to-Do Lists, Chores, Classroom and Office Reminders, Visual Schedules, for Kids and Adults

We use this to help my son keep time limits in mind, he really likes it. I picked the green one so it is easy to find in a room. The alarm is subtle but you can hear it, it doesn't repeat so it isn't annoying. The red part is very easy to see and give a great indication of the nature of a block of time for those still learning what 5 minutes feels like.

Wanted something to visualize time remaining…I am a call center agent and I would often not notice certain breaks or meetings. This has helped me to stay on track.

Love this timer. I use for work (teacher). Students like the timer too.

What it does: you can set an amount of time, and at a glance INTUITIVELY see how much time you have left in red. The beauty of it being 1 hour is that not only is that usually enough time for most tasks you will use it for, but with use, you will learn to very intuitively read the red space at a glance and monitor your time effortlessly.Great as a tool for using the Pomodoro method or some variation. Essentially, when you are having trouble focusing, you can set it for 25 minutes, starting some focused work you are perhaps avoiding, with the knowledge that after that time you will reward yourself with 5-10 minutes of break time. In my case, that's usually all I need to get started, and depending on how I feel after, I may do more 25 minute sessions, or switch to more organic work blocks and breaks before I start to feel too drained.For not being late, I find it helpful to set it say for 30 minutes during which time I have to shower, dress, etc before leaving somewhere on time. I can put the time on the sink as I shower to immediately see how much time I have when I get out, put it on a table near where I dress etc.

Pros:- Unlike the other reviewers, my timer is still holding up well after 1.5+ years of daily use (8+ uses/day, frequently throwing it in my backpack). The only casualty so far is that my toddler pried off the pointy part of the dial to help set the timer, which makes it a little harder to grasp it- I find the highly visible "time remaining" a much better way / more motivating way to convey time left in a work block than a simple time countdown- Also unlike other reviewers, I like the "twist to set" function. The original Pomodoro Method actually recommends taking some manual "set timer" action like this at the start of each work block. While I'm not convinced it's essential, I definitely don't mind it. It's true that the timer lacks resolution beyond ~30 second increments, but I don't really care if I set my timer for 25 minutes or 25 minutes and 30 seconds.Cons:- It's hard to use this in an open office environment without disturbing others. The only two volume options are LOUD and silent, which is fine at home but unfair to those around me in the office. I'd love some alarm that alerts me at my desk but is less disturbing to those around me, like a bright blinking light on the front clock face. I also think an additional "low" volume setting would make this less offensive in open offices.- Similarly, I'd love some "acknowledge alarm" button on the top that silences the alarm for this block. Right now, I do this by leaping for the alarm, fumbling for the small switch on the back, and sliding it from "volume on" to "volume off". This would probably be less important if there were a better alarm mode for not aggravating others (e.g. low volume or blinking light), but would still be nice regardlessOverall, I definitely continue to recommend this to others.

The media could not be loaded.  I thought all TimeTimers of this size were the same, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case. The TimeTimers I have seen and heard online had an alarm that beeped four times, whereas the one I received let out only a singular beep. I contacted the seller to tell them of my concern and their response was that the TimeTimer has more than one variation, some come with a softer alarm/less beeps and others with a louder alarm/more beeps. I'm upset I got the short end of the stick, but it gets the job done. It helps keep track of my Pomodoros, I just have to be more attentive to the alarm.

Perfect to keep me on track with time on projects. Also love the cheerful colors.

This was a game change for my time-blind gradeschooler. Having a clearly visible countdown has really helped him pace himself when performing various tasks. Time Timer is worth the slight extra cost compared to some other similar offerings on Amazon; it's well engineered and an established brand that has been time-tested in classrooms for years.

Quite satisfied thanks.

There's a button in the back to turn on and off the alarm once the time run out, but it doesn't work. I tried many times, and with no success.Very disappointed.

Es un poco caro, pero reconozco que es muy útil para temas educativos. En mi caso, que lo uso para niños pequeños que todavía no tienen adquirido el concepto del tiempo lo uso para establecer el tiempo de trabajo, tiempo para comer, tiempo de castigo...De todas formas, me ha fallado al mes de comprarlo...

I did not find any desktop free download coupons enclosed with this product.

Creo que es un producto útil para utilizar con niños a los que les cuesta integrar el paso del tiempo, pero lo encuentro excesivamente caro para lo que es.
