Home & Office Timer with Clock, 5,15, 30, 45, 60 Minute Preset Countdown Timer, Easy-to-Use Time Management Tool (Black)

Didn’t know I needed a little plastic object to yell at me while I work/study, but let me tell you this is a lifesaver. If you’re looking for a pomodoro timer that doesn’t live on your phone (hello, distractions) then the options are slim to pick through. I’ve purchased either four or five different ones, but this one is the best by far. it is really easy to use and set up – I like that it has multiple timing options depending on what you need. Once a countdown and beeps angrily for 30 seconds to a minute, it starts counting back up, so if for some reason you left the room and came back, you could see how much time has elapsed since the timer went off. Its also very satisfying to slam the snooze or reset button when the alarm goes off. It does run on batteries, and because of this I have found that if I slam it a bit too violently, or if I throw it in a backpack/purse and it gets jostled around, the clock on the front will reset. to me this isn’t a huge issue as I mainly use it as a timer, so I just live with the fact that the actual time on the front is wrong, but the timer always counts down correctly. The front screen is not super bright, but even with my janky eyesight I don’t have an issue seeing the display properly. It’s just not lit up in your face. It does have a funny little rattlesnake noise to it, but apparently this is on purpose and it’s why you can change the timer by flipping it- this little weight inside is the mechanism it uses to reset It is a little bit bigger than expected, I thought it would be about the size of a clenched fist when I purchased it. When it came in the mail, it’s actually about the size of a small coffee mug, or about twice the size of an iPhone, just in a hexagonal configuration. My main thing is that when I’m working or studying, I either get way too distracted, or I get so deep into my work/projects that I go waaaaayyy over time. This has been a lifesaver when it comes to my studying habits. I started off with 15 minutes of intense focus, and overtime was able to graduate to the 30 minute, 45 minute, and then 60 Mark – and now I am working on doing multiple 60 minutes in a row with a bathroom break to prepare for some long 6 to 8 hour examinations. It really is priceless in this regard for me, because I am trying to build up test taking/study stamina. I have tried other more aesthetically pleasing timers, but they don’t work as well, or Are frustrating to set up, don’t have the time-change flexibility, or don’t have the alarm function, and the ones on my phone get me distracted with notifications every time. So overall, I wish it were smaller, I wish the screen were a little bit brighter (I don’t really use it as an alarm clock) and I do wish that it didn’t make a rattle snake noise when you carry it in your backpack, but overall it is my favorite plastic-countdown-smashy-study-thingy, and I’m ready to purchase a second one for my little brother.

I did not realize how much I needed one of these in my life. Even my husband thinks it is handy. I am time blind these days. So I use the timer all day long. I carry it with me from room to room to keep myself accountable and on task. Using this consistently is helping me get external feedback as to how much time has passed. My time blindness is a characteristic I'd like to change or at least substantially improve in the long run. So what is working for this timer is that it is big but not so huge that it is cumbersome to hand carry from one space to another. It is easily portable, but substantial enough that you might not want to carry it around in a purse or backpack due to it's hexagon shape and awkward size for packing. If you do travel with this timer, make sure you turn off the sounds or you'll be hearing beeps all day. I use the 45 minute preset for napping when I get fatigued, it takes about 20 minutes for my mind to stop racing...so things even out to just over 20 minutes of actual sleep. Also the 15 minute preset is what I use to monitor how much time is left for nebulizer treatments. It is really hard for me to sit still, but when I see the count down and only "x" amount of time left; it helps. Deadlines help; even artificial ones. I think this one works because it is large enough to spot in an inevitable mess. The wall of awful/ inertia threshold for tasks is lowered because you literally flip the hexagon to the preset you want and it starts counting down. It is no fuss. The design is simple clean lines; so it is handy. I wish there was a smaller and more affordable version that I could travel with. It would be useful to carry one in my backpack, purse, or pocket. This one is a little too big for that, if you are into minimalist styles. Because it is essentially analog or at least disconnected from your phone or computer, I seem to be less distracted when muddling through tasks and other administrative projects.

I just love this timer! I use it for so many things: cooking, productivity, motivation to clean the house. I also bought it three other times as gifts for my brother for productivity, for my nieces for studying and using the pomodoro method and even for my therapist so I (or other patients) would stay within our session time limit. It's a great gift that I also love using. I have ADHD and sometimes just setting up this count down timer helps me get motivated in starting a task! Plus it has a slick design, prefect size, a stylish hexagon shape and multiple colors to choose from and a cool blue light lits up when setting the timer. It's very easy to use, you just have to add batteries and turn it sideways to set up the required count down time. It doesn't use up too much battery, and is very functional. It shows the actual time when the timer isn't being used.

I bought this clock because the Pomodoro method helps me focus at work, and, since I work in a quiet workspace with other people, I wanted a clock that didn't set off a noise and had easy preset timers. This clock is great for that, and I use it every day when I'm at work. When the timer is up, the screen flashes a light, which I like. Once the timer is finished, it also counts up, which is also very convenient for me as I can just let it count up to whatever time I need for my break. HOWEVER, I don't understand why it's marketed as a Pomodoro clock when the Pomodoro method is clearly 25 minutes/5 minutes or 50 minutes/10 minutes. The timers are all preset, and, as far as I know, there is no way to set your own custom timer. So if you are a Pomodoro purist, this is not the clock for you, unless you are willing to do your own math with the timers and counting up feature. If you don't see yourself using exactly the preset timers, then this clock is also not for you. This four star review is NOT because I dislike this clock. I find it very useful, and it definitely helps my productivity and focus. It is 4 stars because the marketing is inaccurate, and it is not a true Pomodoro clock.

It is always a pleasure to write positive reviews. This clock/alarm/timer deserves one. It is just perfect for me. I use Cube timer at home and it is good for pomodoro technique and my kitchen, but this hexagon timer turned out to be a way above my expectations. What especially I love: 1. Digits on the clock are large and easy to see. 2. You have pause buttons for timers! Two of them! 3. It is also a clock - that is so nice!.. Well, and an alarm, if you need it. 4. Perfect intervals for my pomodoros (30 minutes in my case with 5 and 15 minutes breaks). 5. Wow design. Just love it! Large numbers, large digits, black color with an orange Zero. 6. 2 Levels of alarm/timer sound. Ohh! Finally, it does not scare me when I am concentrated and then suddenly BEEP. Not with this one. The only couple of things I wish it would have (but don't) are (1) a choice for a melody for the alarm/timer that starts quetly and increases in volume gradually. (2) I also found that digital digits on the clock are less sharp when it is in a timer mode. But regardless of that, I have no words! People who designed it and created it made it with passion. Thank you so much! It came in a very nice box you expect for $100+ gadgets, on time, and well packed. Ahh. No batteries in the box. You need 2 AAA on your own. PS. They remind don't rush if you cannot figure out immediately how to set up something. It is sometimes requires you to read their manual. I could not figure out how to reduce the sound just by pushing buttons here and there. Well, it is well described in the manual. So no complains, really. PPS. Perfect gadget!!!! Correction: I purchased 2 more clocks for different locations I work at. New clock doesn't have the problem I indicated in my review. Now, all numbers are bright and nice even in timer mode. I guess they are improving each next version of the timer. Great job!!!

Very helpful. So convenient to just rotate the clock to set a short time. VEry helpful for keeping me on schedule and accomplishing a specific task. Without this could spend too much time on a task.

This is a simple but very good execution of a Pomodoro-like timer. I find the action of rotating the timer to be very engaging and novel enough to keep my interest so that I do end up using it for time management . Once it is set up, it is very easy. I appreciate the fact that the alarm will turn off on its own eventually if I can't get to it, but not before giving me plenty of incentive to beat the timer or turn it off manually, as the sound of alarm increases in intensity over time. It is also possible to change the volume of the alarm. It is not possible to change the tone of the alarm, but I appreciate this because it makes it a simpler product. A small negative is the fact that the settings buttons are on the back, so you cannot see the face and the settings buttons at the same time. But setting up is a fairly rare action, just to adjust the time or set the alarm. But for this reason, I would not say that the alarm feature is a primary feature of this device. It is more a timer with an included alarm than it is a clock/alarm with timer functionality. *By the way, this doesn't come with batteries, so order some separately. It takes 2 AAA batteries.

I have adult ADHD so need a timer to help me stay on track. As we speak this review is a divergence from what I probably should be doing and I should probably set my timer right now. Brb. Ok just set max 15min to write this and putt about before I refocus and get on with the day...and that's how I use it. I also use it for study pomodoros and time chunking. What's good about it is it's ease of use. The motion of flipping and setting it does something for my fidgety mind and it's like my brain gets the message it's time to get ready to switch tasks soon. Transitioning between tasks is especially difficult for me so the timer is really helpful with that. It beeps and lights up and you can choose no beep only light if you like. I haven't had issues with it keeping track of time so I suppose they fixed that or I lucked out. I wish the display was clearer, the numbers are small and murky. I wish I could also set a custom timer as opposed to only using the 5-15-30-45-60 options. I often want a 10 minute timer but that's a no-go. I feel like it's slightly overpriced. For the price I really would have liked a better display. One thing that bothers me most is that a lot of times when I tilt it to start a certain timer, the little mechanism inside doesn't catch and I have to re-tilt repeatedly in order to set it. Sometimes I just smack the top but regardless it's annoying. That said, the benefits outweigh the detriments and it IS easy to use which makes it functional and helpful.

ADHD timer, it works great

Good product, easy to use

Good product

If you have trouble with procrastination this can be one of your tricks for getting going. So easy to set - just turn it round - no fiddling with buttons. Rather expensive for what it is, but I expect to get my money's worth. They could cut costs by having a less luxury box - doesn't really sit with the plastic item haha

The batteries last only a few days. When I want to study and need it, it never works, always out of battery and then you need to set everything up again. The timer sound is also very disturbing, goes faster after a few seconds and is very annoying. Definitely not for studying/pomodoro.
