Secura 60-Minute Visual Timer 6-Inch Mechanical Countdown Timers for Teaching, Meeting, Cooking, Working - Timer for Kids with Magnetic Backing, Foldable Legs, Hanging Hole (Blue)

I bought another one of these for my home because it was so helpful at school. It is a great visual at school and students want to work to beat it. It is also great at home to help kids and adults stay on track with tasks.

Easy to use, ticking is not super loud, but is useful for those who need to hear the timer is on/running. Ring isn't too loud. It is loud, but not jarring. Tried silent count down timer before and child forgot it was on/didn't pay attention to time passing. This one is helping child with focusing issues.

I got This timer to help my three-year-old toddlers understand the concept of time when it comes to things like eating dinner or to get ready for bed, clean up, etc. it seems to be working well, I have had it for approximately four months now and my kids like and expect it to be set before bedtime lol for it to actually work, you have to wind it all the way between 11 and 12 then release it back to the time you want to have set. It isn’t bothersome at all except that it is quite loud. The magnet is really strong and sticks well to our refrigerator. It is also easy to see thanks to the blue portion of the timer.

I’m a childless adult with ADHD. For decades, I’ve used kitchen timers to set work intervals and stay on task. The ticking always helped, but the alarm was usually jarring and often made me jump.I recently learned about visual timers, and loved the concept—but most products list silence (not ticking) as a feature. The ticking is part of what I love!I searched high and low for a visual timer that ticked, and this one checked every box. And it’s so much better than I expected!The display is BIG. You can easily read it from across the room. It is fully mechanical, so the tactile feedback of setting the time is just *chefs kiss* so satisfying. Cranking the dial feels sturdy and feels like nice mechanics inside.Unlike the timers I was using before, the bell is much softer. It’s a lower pitch and not so jarring—it’s still loud enough to function as a kitchen timer, but it doesn’t make me want to jump out of my skin!The visuals are nice. The numbers are large and crisp, and the hashes within the 5 minute marks are clear and easy to see. The color of the visual component is perfect—I have the blue one, and it’s enough tint to see from far away, yet light enough to easily read the numbers and hashes.TLDR: it’s perfect for my usage at home! Alternatives don’t quite fit the bill, and I think this one is a really great price since it checks all the boxes!For those not used to using kitchen timers, just remember you have to turn past 55 minutes (to activate the bell) before selecting the desired time. I have to remind my husband when he uses it!I would love if this company made similar timers of different time lengths, like 20 minutes.

This was just delivered yesterday and we used it right away this morning to help my almost 4 year old get excited about getting ready for daycare instead of fighting the whole process like most mornings.Well. It worked!! He loved being able to see how much tome he had to "race" getting dressed, shoes on, teeth brushed, etc. I ordered the rainbow one and it's perfect and easy to see! I love that we can take it anywhere because it had a spot to hang it, a magnet and a kickstand.

I just received this item, tried to use it, and the timer does not beep. There is ticking but no sound to indicate that the time is up.

This large comfortable timer is great for keeping kids on track. It's easy to use and I don't have to worry about batteries

This is great for setting time limits! It doesn’t require batteries - which is a huge bonus!! It is colorful and shows the time moving as the color disappears. The numbers are large so kids can easily see the time expectations. The ticking noise is minimal but may annoy some people. It has a strong magnet on the back so it is placed on our fridge (but also has a stand so can be propped up in a table or dresser) and we can hear the ding easily in another room.
