Must have for classroom!! Great company!
I LOVE this timer in my first grade inclusion class! They love it too! I love that it doesn’t need batteries or to be charged, it’s like and old school kitchen timer. It’s large enough for me to display on my whiteboard and the whole class can see. That is another reason I love it because it has 2 huge stripes ng magnets on the back that hold it to my whiteboard. It also has a stand for if I need to move it or take it with me to recess. It did start to stop ticking and would not go off after almost a whole school year of using it daily. I contacted the company and they were very quick to send a response and replacement. I couldn’t recommend this timer and company more. I’ve actually talked 3 coworkers at school into to buying them! They love it too! The kids were so sad when it stopped working and were so lost without it. They are going to be so excited when they see the new working timer tomorrow!! Thank you Secura!!!

Found a good one
I’ve had a heck of a time finding a good kitchen timer. This one rocks. Yes, it is big. But once you try it, you’ll wonder why you went with small ones. The magnets keep it on fridge well. But you can use the legs. Battery powered timers NEVER die before you use them. They never die after you use them. They always die WHILE you are using them. This thing doesn’t use batteries. Turn the dial just past 55, then set to anything between 59 minutes and 1 minute. The colored moving dial makes casual readings extremely easy from far away. So you won’t have to go into the kitchen with your reading glasses on and squint at a tiny dial anymore. The bell can be easily heard from 1 room away. Two if the house is relatively quiet. You can hear the ticking, but it’s not bad at all. I’ve been using it upwards of 7 times per week for about a month now without a problem at all. If you want a timer for more than 1 hour, this one is not for you. If you MUST have a teeny tiny timer, this one is not for you.

Perfect!
I love this clock/timer this is my second one. I needed another one for my classroom so I bought the same model in a different color. the clock is very helpful with the color to show the students how much time they have left to finish their task. I love that feature of the clock. I also love the fact that it is magnetic. Overall, it is a great clock/timer.

Good for kids, not kid-proof
This served it’s purpose, which was helping my kids understand how to wait for a set amount of time (under an hour) for something. The visual helped them understand progression. It didn’t stand up very well to my younger child spinning the dial over and over. The green film eventually caught on the rest of the clock face and now it won’t operate. Recently had to throw it away. Not much is truly child proof and that’s understandable.

Perfect for ADHDers
I bought this as a way to stay on track during the work day after my first egg timer broke within a week. I have pretty severe ADHD and the time blindness that often accompanies it. Meds have their limits and don’t do much for time blindness (at least in my experience), so I needed something to help structure my time.It’s common for me to get so focused on work that I will forget to log on to Zoom for meetings, much to my boss’s chagrin. And when I tried to use my phone’s timer, half the time I’d get distracted by something else, like an incoming text or email.I love being able to see exactly how much time is left with just a quick glance. The alarm is loud enough to be heard from the other room (a bonus since I often wander away from my desk during breaks) and it’s lasted much longer than the $5 egg timer.The ticking is very audible, which some people may not like. I don’t mind it; I actually kind of like it because it fades into the background but it’s also an audible and visual cue that I’m in work mode, both for me and my partner. It’s stupidly easy to set and reset if needed. And it even came in my favorite color. I hope this lasts a long time, but if I get only a year’s use out of it, I’d buy another one just like it because of all the time saved from distraction. I’d strongly recommend this to both adults with ADHD and parents of ADHDers, with the earlier caveat about the ticking noise.

Waste of money. DO NOT BUY
BUYER BEWARE:Would rate zero stars if I could. I ordered two timers for my kids. I used this same brand a few years back and loved the product. When they arrived, the first timer had a bent “timekeeping hand” underneath the plastic and would click but would not move to show the time (entire point of the timer is to be able to set it and watch the time run down). It is impossible to use this as a functional timer. It is clearly the cheapest kitchen timer they could find screwed into the middle of a poorly-constructed and designed, cheap plastic frame. Even the ‘time’s up” ring is an old school mechanical twist timer with no volume control. The second timer was completely sealed behind the decorative numbers around the face of the timer so you could not set it or use it as a functional timer. They are 0/2 on this product. It is a horribly designed and constructed, cheap waste of money. SAVE YOUR MONEY. DO NOT BUY. Unfortunately this company has gone downhill from when I last ordered from them and it was a STEEP fall. See my other review for an additional video.

Es muy práctico, lo puedes poner casi donde sea. Es muy útil para manejar tiempos, sobre todo si eres maestro y quieres tener un control sobre el tiempo dedicado a cada actividad.

Love the large size and vibrant blue colour. The magnet is ultra strong so sticks on the fridge without slipping. It also has a stable foldout stand making it great to prop up on a table. We use it as a timer for a 3 year old. Helps him to playfully visualize the concept of time. He now actually enjoys completing simple tasks. Getting dressed was taking 45 minutes plus, now he can be finished up in 10 or close to it. Helps to give him a time frame as to finishing up tub time, or getting ready for bed time. It,s come in very handy as a motivater for our little visual learner.

The 60-Minute Mechanical Visual Timer is an excellent tool for teaching and time management. The mechanical design is simple and reliable, with no batteries needed. It’s been a great help for keeping students on track during activities and managing time effectively. Highly recommend for teachers, parents, or anyone needing a clear visual timer!

Es muy práctico de usar, sus imanes ayudan a tenerlo adherido a algún mueble de metal o puedes usar sus patitas y colocarlo en una superficie. Es muy llamativo para mis alumnos y están al pendiente de la alarma

Excelente producto! Cumple con todo lo descrito. Su tamaño es perfecto y en un salón de clases es visible por todos lados. Me ha servido de apoyo para que los alumnos entiendan el paso del tiempo y cuanto les queda para terminar. No requiere baterías y la alarma es bastante fuerte para ser oído en el salón.
