Znewtech Home & Office Desk Timer with Clock, 10, 20 Minute Preset Countdown Timer, Easy-to-Use Time Management Tool for Classroom, Meeting, Cooking, Study, Homework, Workouts (Purple)

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

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.

Extremely happy with it. The clock is functional. The screen could be a little brighter. That's not an issue for me as I can see it just fine on my desk and I'm more interested in the timer aspect, which works brilliantly. I was using a pomodoro timer app on my phone, which I found very helpful but there were a few too many steps. Unlock phone, open app, start timer. I like the physical mechanism of starting the timer and that I can immediately start it with a single action and no phone related faff!

For £20 I really would have liked a better facade on this item, it's very cheap looking plastic. The numbers are quite dark and ask such are hard to read in dim light. Additionally the lcd is hard to read in dim light, the back light fixes this however you can't push the button when using a 30m timer duw to the product design. The timers are also prone to resetting when you carry the item or if you bump or knock it. Overall its a decent product for productivity timing and a good little item for my desk. However I would like to see any future versions have better back-light options, a "lock screen" button to stop accidental timer swapping and slightly better build materials if sticking with the £20 tag.

Love this clock. We use it for housework, homework, power naps etc. Makes life easier. Bit expensive but worth it.

A brilliant gadget to help you structure your time. Super easy to use and looks good too. Love it.

I bought it for my yoga teaching class to keep my timing in track and it’s awesome you just turn it and it counts down no sound or it’s a normal clock amazing

To stop burning my food in oven

ADHD timer, it works great

Didn’t know I needed a little plastic object to yell at me while I work/study, but let me tell you this is a lifesaver. If you’re looking for a pomodoro timer that doesn’t live on your phone (hello, distractions) then the options are slim to pick through. I’ve purchased either four or five different ones, but this one is the best by far. it is really easy to use and set up – I like that it has multiple timing options depending on what you need. Once a countdown and beeps angrily for 30 seconds to a minute, it starts counting back up, so if for some reason you left the room and came back, you could see how much time has elapsed since the timer went off. Its also very satisfying to slam the snooze or reset button when the alarm goes off. It does run on batteries, and because of this I have found that if I slam it a bit too violently, or if I throw it in a backpack/purse and it gets jostled around, the clock on the front will reset. to me this isn’t a huge issue as I mainly use it as a timer, so I just live with the fact that the actual time on the front is wrong, but the timer always counts down correctly. The front screen is not super bright, but even with my janky eyesight I don’t have an issue seeing the display properly. It’s just not lit up in your face. It does have a funny little rattlesnake noise to it, but apparently this is on purpose and it’s why you can change the timer by flipping it- this little weight inside is the mechanism it uses to reset It is a little bit bigger than expected, I thought it would be about the size of a clenched fist when I purchased it. When it came in the mail, it’s actually about the size of a small coffee mug, or about twice the size of an iPhone, just in a hexagonal configuration. My main thing is that when I’m working or studying, I either get way too distracted, or I get so deep into my work/projects that I go waaaaayyy over time. This has been a lifesaver when it comes to my studying habits. I started off with 15 minutes of intense focus, and overtime was able to graduate to the 30 minute, 45 minute, and then 60 Mark – and now I am working on doing multiple 60 minutes in a row with a bathroom break to prepare for some long 6 to 8 hour examinations. It really is priceless in this regard for me, because I am trying to build up test taking/study stamina. I have tried other more aesthetically pleasing timers, but they don’t work as well, or Are frustrating to set up, don’t have the time-change flexibility, or don’t have the alarm function, and the ones on my phone get me distracted with notifications every time. So overall, I wish it were smaller, I wish the screen were a little bit brighter (I don’t really use it as an alarm clock) and I do wish that it didn’t make a rattle snake noise when you carry it in your backpack, but overall it is my favorite plastic-countdown-smashy-study-thingy, and I’m ready to purchase a second one for my little brother.

Good product, easy to use

Good product

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.
