Great visual timer
Great visual timer for home or classroom. The watermelon design keeps it fun! Slight ticking sound but it doesn’t bother us.

Good for time management
Got this to help my daughter (6) with time management skills. Nice and easy to turn, she knows how to set the timer and likes it “as a job” We keep ours on the fridge and if the house is quiet it can be heard throughout the house, not crazy loud though. Exactly what I was looking for, plus she loves watermelon so that was a bonus.

Exceeded Expectations!
Ok, so let me start by saying that I did not read the dimensions and this was a lot bigger than I was anticipating! However, it’s awesome. It doesn’t require batteries to operate, has a magnetic backing, or you can just stand it on your night stand table. When it hits the zero mark, it rings for about 3 seconds (as long as you make sure to wind it to the 55 minute mark first and then bring it back to your time marker counter clock wise). This is going to be great for my toddler to visualize time!

Pay attention to the instructions on how to set the timer
Works great and helping my child stay focused on task. Magnetic power also is good.

Nope
Not worth it. Arrived broken. This is the 2nd visual timer I tried as well ☹️

Extremely big
Might be the perfect size to be seen literally across a crowded classroom, and loud enough to be heard several rooms away. But it was WAY too large for home use, and the bell sounds for a very long time with no way to silence it early, and it is LOUD. Immediately triggered my entire neurodivergent house the one and only time it was tested, completely defeating the point of being a tool to help with time blindness.

Super cute, but loud ticking
I got the orange one for my kids. It’s so cute, and helps so much with time management. But it is really big! So if size is important to you, check the measurements 😆It has a pretty loud ticking sound, so that’s something to consider. It bothers some of my kids, so I might look into other brands as well. Hopefully there are quieter ones?

Easy to use. Kid loves it.
Kid loves it. Magnets are stronger than anticipated, which means it’s not sliding off the fudge.Has an audible ticking sound, which may not be for everyone.

This visual timer is actually quite large! But the magnets on the back are surprisingly strong – I have trouble pulling it off the fridge! It also has a stand, so it can sit on any surface.As someone with ADHD:I like how the numbers are rainbow coloured and are gradient as it goes around. It’s very pretty to look at, and the kiwi fruit part is quirky. It’s quite soothing to look at and listen to.It has an alarm bell when the time runs out, which is loud enough to hear but not so loud that it’s startling. There isn’t an option to turn off the alarm, like some other timers, but the alarm on this one doesn’t make me jump like some other ones do. There is a ticking sound that is quite loud (other visual timers I have don’t make a ticking sound), but it’s fast enough to be like a fast paced song (which makes me want to move), and I actually like the ticking – it keeps me aware that I’m on a time limit. Other visual timers that are silent, I forget about them, and then get scared when the alarm happens, and have not been on task because I forgot I had a time limit. This one keeps me present.If you find yourself dancing to the ticking sound when you turn on the blinker in your car, this might work well for you!Or the sound might drive you crazy lol.

I’ve been looking for a mechanical timer for years. A good one and this is it.Pros:1. No batteries. You just wind the dial to 55 minutes and then set the dial to the desired time.2. Large face at 7 inches wide.3. Magnetic back to stick on the fridge. It is strong – doesn’t fall off.4. Has a notch to hang it on the wall as well.5. Has feet to place on the table if you don’t like the fridge or the wall.6. Our children love it. Helps them set the timer when cooking (i.e: baking cookies).Cons:1. It uses a bell – it doesn’t have that digital beep, but it is loud enough to hear the bell go off. It has a short period of going off when time is up. If you are out of the room, you could miss it. Unlike digital clocks that beep forever, this will ring for about 2 seconds and that is all. You miss it, you miss it!2. Ticking – the ticking is loud and noticeable for people sensitive to the ticking hands of a clock. It isn’t a big issue for us, but can be a problem if your kitchen and sleep area are close by. Sometimes, no a ticking timer is better and just a digital beep is best when the timer goes off.3. Aesthetics – it isn’t the most discrete of timers on the market. The face (which is a fruit motif) can be considered tacky by some.

This Visual Timer ticks!!! It doesn’t run on batteries so that’s nice, but the cost is that it ticks. It’s fairly accurate, I timed it against a 15 minute stop-watch and it was fine. It ticks for a while after the buzzer goes off, less than a minute but it’s a bit of a surprise at first.

I just love this time timer! I work in a school and these come in super handy. I’ve never had a magnetic one, so this one is just amazing! It’s pretty too!

While the Secura Fruit Magnetic Timer looks adorable and has some nice features like a magnetic back and stand, its core function — keeping time — is flawed. The timer often doesn’t go off at 0, and worse, sometimes doesn’t ring at all. The ticking sound even continues after it’s supposed to be done, which is confusing and defeats the purpose. It’s a nice decorative piece, but not dependable if you actually need accurate time tracking.
