MeesMeekDigital Visual Timer - Max 11H 59M Rechargeable Countdown With VA Display, Clear Digits, Adjustable Volume and Brightness, Magnetic for Kitchen, Classroom, Office (Black)

Bought one to help the kids keep to time in the bathroom and ever since then, I do not have to worry checking time for them. This is good quality with perfect timer and it functions very well. The display is well lit and easy to see from afar. The alarm level is just perfect to prompt the kids.

It is easy to use, with a clear digital display and a red circular indicator that can be read at a distance. It also has an adjustable beep that can be changed from quiet to loud. No batteries are needed, as it is recharged by USB and a cable is supplied. I am pleased with this timer because it is aesthetically well-designed.

This Countdown Timer (or "count-up" stopwatch) is pretty useful but there is a slightly inconvenient "non-viewable" angle from about 30 degrees below, so if you put this on a shelf above your eye-level then the display can appear distorted and dim. Bizarrely it's clearly viewable at all other angles except this one, which actually might be a quite common use case in practice.It takes a bit of time to get used to the rotary control wheel but I actually like the way it works, for people who don't remember a time before touch screens it may be a frustrating experience at first since it relies on timing the speed of rotation to switch between seconds minutes and hours, but I found it pretty easy to use after a bit of practice. Many people will have alternative means for timing activities and I guess you can use a similar app on your phone but it's nice to have a simple standalone device just for this timing task, since you usually want the countdown display constantly on and it would be a drain on your phone's battery. I got this for my daughter to use over the Easter holidays when revising for upcoming exams as she was using her phone previously.

The media could not be loaded. 5 star because it's exactly as described and does what I need it to. Got the idea from someone online who said a visual timer helps them focus better - obviously YMMV regarding this but the screen size is decent, it sticks to the fridge, the stand works perfectly, timer controls are intuitive, battery life seems good etc - it's a well thought out product for a decent price.Overall, highly recommended, even if you just need a basic timer/stopwatch.

Great timer, easy to use and just so happy I bought it. I use it for my 10 minute cleaning sessions. As a working mom it’s hard to fit cleaning in so this works for me- yes could use the phone but just really like the display, visual I see when countdown is happening. Highly recommend to keep on task.

The media could not be loaded. Got this for work focus / pomodoro timing.Me: Ooh, here's my Amazon parcel, I bought a timer for pomodoro sessions.Better Half: Why? I just use my phone.Me: But I'm trying to concentrate... isn't my phone best in another room?BH: Hmmmm... yes, probably.My thoughts on this timer:+ Nice design, not Apple-level aesthetics, but looks fine. Reassuringly chunky feel.+ In theory, setting and using it is easy, rotate a click wheel to set time, press it down to start/stop.+ Can adjust the volume, or turn it off (just flashes the display on and off when it's done).+ It temembers your last setting, if you're using it for say a regular 25 minute time.+ Magnetic back plate, good to stick it to a magnetic whiteboard, kitchen appliance.- Only slight bug for me... it can feel a bit fiddly to set the time. As you rotate the wheel, after a few clicks in close succession it switches to bigger time increments. This makes sense in terms of getting to where you want faster, but also makes it feel like it has a mind of its own, sometimes! And when pushing on the wheel, it's possible/easy to rotate it a click by mistake (similar to a clickable mouse wheels).Still giving this 5*s. It's a nice product, and I'm happy with it.

does not charge.

This timer doesn’t have a seconds function, despite what was shown in one reviewer’s video. It is not possible to select seconds using the dial. This is otherwise a well made, quality item.
