These timers are being used in a sped type classroom.They’ve been thrown and continue to work!I highly recommend them

Nice compact size, Magnet on back, big display

These little timers are great!I have been trying to do things to help myself to keep on task and be more productive. One trick I've tried is to use a timer to do unpleasant tasks. One task I really hate is washing the dishes. Yes, it has to be done, but I hate it.First, I tried setting timer on my phone for, say, 10 minutes. I told myself "I can do ANYTHING for ten minutes!" This works, but the problem is that, somehow, I don't associate the multi-function phone with doing work. I just don't remember to set the timer.So then I thought "Let me get an external timer to see if this helps."It did! Surprisingly, having a stand-alone timer makes all the difference. It must be psychological--- just seeing the timer sitting there motivates me to start work. I learned I can get a heck of a lot done in ten minutes!Originally, I bought a different brand timer. It worked fine for a while, but then it got hard to press the buttons and it started acting weird--- like just deciding to stop timing something whenever it felt like it. (I burned my dinner once because of it.) So, then I bought these timers. I like them a lot!As you can see in the picture, the timers are fat and chunky--- big buttons, very big numbers, easy to press the buttons, nice bright colors. There is a little stand on the back so you can stand them up if you're at a table. Unlike other timers, they have an on/off button to save on battery life. Every time you press a button, there is a loud "beep." I personally like this feature. (Other people seem to hate it.). You can count how many minutes you are setting by listening without having to look at the timer. When the timer goes off, it beeps for a while-- LOUD! I like this. You can hear it from another room. Like if you're cooking something, you can hear it go off in the kitchen. I didn't have any "duds" in the box I bought. They all work.I oringally bought two of these from another vendor before I bought the 12-pack. The one small negative I would say about these timers is the the magnets are weak. Compared to the apparently identical timers I bought from another vendor, this 12-pack has thinner magnets on the back. Like, you can see the magnet is thinner. Practically speaking, this means they BARELY stay on the fridge. The magnets are JUST strong enough to hold the timer on the fridge... but if you knock the timer, it will go sliding down the fridge. Since I mostly use the timers in other locations and don't use the magnet, this is not a deal-breaker for me. I mean, they DO stay on the fridge if you don't knock them. But... if the manufacturer is reading these: You need to up your magnet game!Anyway, these little timers have made a positive effect on my life... so much so that I took 15 minutes out of my day to write a review for them! (I've given them as gifts, and they have really helped the people I've given them to as well.).Give 'em a try!UPDATE 2024The timers work great-- as I just explained--- until they DON'T. Within a year and a half, almost all of these timers have fatal flaws. Some of them will just auto-reset to 0 minutes at the slightest touch. Some of them the digital readout just stopped working. Some of them work OK, but the sound of the alarm is so faint now that you can't hear it in the next room. Some will still beep, but with this weird, disturbing sound link a dying animal. Some just flat out won't work at all. So, in summary: The design of the timers is great, but the quality control is extremely poor. I think I'm going to have to spent extra money now buying more robust and well-made timers.

These timers have been helpful to me. I use three , one encourages less smoking, one encourages more work and less sitting, one is a task timer I carry around. I use the Orange timer for the one I carry around; easier to see where I put it! Buying the twelve pack makes sense. Lower unit cost and they don't last for ever. They do seem to last for a few months, though. By the time one breaks, it will have paid for itself many times over!!! I have also handed one out to all my friends. Amazing how many people don't seem to have one! And they do report finding them usefyl!

I love the size of the timers. These are easy enough for my students to use.

This timer only records minutes and seconds up to 99 minutes - don't purchase if you need it for hour purposes. Also, the magnet is not quite strong enough to hold the timer on a fridge. It slowly slides downward.

Bought these for student use in my classroom. Students love using them. The beep is a bit loud for my small classroom, but I've trained my 2nd graders to turn them off after the first beep sound. Out of the 12 pack, I had 1 timer not work at all. The battery cover on it was also flimsy and did not close entirely. Overall, I am happy I bought these. The colors are fun and easy to use.

It was exactly what I wanted.

Soy Panadero, el producto cumple lo que requiere en cuestiones de tiempo, lamentable que el sonido sea muy bajo, respecto a mi area, tenemos mucho ruido de maquinas, hornos y batidoras, tengo que tenerlo en tablero para poder escucharlo, a los imanes les falta mucho, no se adiheren tan facil a las maquinas, batidoras y hornos, son comodos de llevar en el bolsillo pero fragiles si desempeñas trabajos pesados, me gusta que tengan su soporte para montarlo en mesa, en todo caso, por el precio no puedo quejarme pero si esperaba tuvieran mas sonido, a como leia las reseñas de otros compradores.

I will use them in my restaurant.Excellent item.

Brilliantly designed, great for netball timers as of the on/off switch

Me agrado el producto, por el precio, cumple muy bien con el uso... esta genial

Best product in market
