Large LCD Digital Countdown Clock - Up to 999 Days - Countdown and Retirement Timer, Count Down Clock for Retirement, Big Display Large Digital Timer for All Events (Black)

This is a great little countdown clock. I used it to countdown to retirement which happened last week! I stayed counting around 18 months before my retirement date. It was fun and encouraging to see the days slide away. About a year after receiving the clock, the display started blinking and acting weird. I reached out to the seller who was wilingl to replace or refund but I figured out it was the batteries. I changed the batteries and it continued to do it's job.

Works great ! Using to count down to my retirement.

Does what it is supposed to do wish the instructions were a little clearer using it for plant grow from veg to flower so it's a count up timer

Bought it for my boss. Had some software licenses at work that were due to expire, so I bought this for my bosses desk to keep him aware of the time we had until D-Day. Would frequently ask him in meetings how long we had, and he would send me a picture from his phone of the countdown. That day has past, so he set it for the next deadline he has coming up. What started as a joke has actually become quite useful.

I ordered this to give me a little hope when I am having a bad day at work. I am planning to give up the corporate rate race in about two years and live a more simple life without a paycheck. Some days, I don’t think I am going to last that long. So, I got this countdown clock to make it look like I am making some noticeable progress to that end. The size is perfect and the device can either stand on your desk or be mounted on something metal, like your fridge. Unfortunately, the magnets don’t hold well because they are set into the device about a millimeter and that’s just enough to diminish the magnetic hold. The display is simple and easy to read. It’s simple and modern and won’t look out of place no matter what décor surrounds it. Setting it up is intuitive and the instructions are fairly simple. The only thing I don’t like about it is that you can’t enter the date and time of your event and let the device figure out the distance to it. You have to manually enter how far in the future it is. What I did was go online to a web-based countdown timer, enter the time and date of the event online, and then match the device to that online timer. The timer is therefore independent of the device’s own clock so if you are like me and like things to be exact (I mean, what’s the point of a timer if you can’t be exact) and sync it right up to the second, it will take about 5 or 6 tries to match everything up depending on your math skills and finger dexterity. That said, once you set it, you can forget it. It has two large puck batteries and since this timer can only go up to a couple of years, I am confident the batteries will last at least until your first event.

Got this for one of my coworker who recently just retired. They used it and it was an easy set up and worked perfectly for the 1 year they had it set up for. Would recommend it to anyone in need of a long countdown clock.

Display is dark and hard to read. Easy setup

Bought it for a friend who is counting down the days until her husband is back home! She LOVES it!! Makes the days seem to move a little quicker
