As an adult with no time-awareness, I love this product! I carry it around with me during the day (especially while getting ready in the morning & at night) and it actually helps me relax to see exactly how much time I have left to do an activity. Usually I just get focused on whatever is in front of me & forget the time completely. This has been super helpful as a back-up alarm clock that I can leave across the room as a 2nd line of defense for over-sleeping :)

Bought this timer for a gift for someone who has ADHD to help with time management. They said it has been a very good helping tool. Has multiple setting and is a great reminder of time management. Not to loud but loud enough to catch your attention. Would highly recommend

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 ordered two of these, one for me and one for my colleague, they are great ! we love them and find them so easy to use. We use them to silently show that we are busy on a task throughout the workday so that we are not disturbed and they truly do work, everyone can read them easily and knows not to bother us when they are on.I would have said that its slightly on the pricey side, but after using it, i would buy again.

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.

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

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.

This clock, timer and alarm is quite ingenious. As I opened the box, I was surprised to find it was a bit bigger than I expected, but that's neither bad not good, just an observation. I had seen some reviews complaining of a complicated setup and unclear instructions but I had no issues. It was simple enough to figure out how to set the time, alarm, and volume, even without referencing the instructions. I read the instructions after and they seemed perfectly clear to me.The only real negatives are that it feels cheap, and the light doesn't light up the clock. As you can see in my pictures, the light shines red out of the back of the timer, but does not shine through the clock at all. I'd suggest the manufacture simply update to make it glow like the image on the box. Make all the printed time indicators glow in the dark and then give the display a glowing backlight like any wristwatch, rather than a light that shines out the back. I don't expect we'll use this much in the dark, but the adding glow-in-the-dark would look cool, the way the box art does. People may also use this as an alarm clock if they wanted, in which case the glow and backlight could be helpful. The plastic feels light and cheap, and I imagine the two battery doors will eventually end up broken. I don't have much confidence in it's ability to survive a fall from the kitchen counter.But aside from those negatives, this timer is awesome with really great features. An absolutely genius concept with a few minor flaws.Highly recommended for personal use, as well as for gift giving.
