Secura 60-Minute Visual Timer 6-Inch Mechanical Countdown Timers for Teaching, Meeting, Cooking, Working - Timer for Kids with Magnetic Backing, Foldable Legs, Hanging Hole (Blue)

I’m a childless adult with ADHD. For decades, I’ve used kitchen timers to set work intervals and stay on task. The ticking always helped, but the alarm was usually jarring and often made me jump. I recently learned about visual timers, and loved the concept—but most products list silence (not ticking) as a feature. The ticking is part of what I love! I searched high and low for a visual timer that ticked, and this one checked every box. And it’s so much better than I expected! The display is BIG. You can easily read it from across the room. It is fully mechanical, so the tactile feedback of setting the time is just *chefs kiss* so satisfying. Cranking the dial feels sturdy and feels like nice mechanics inside. Unlike the timers I was using before, the bell is much softer. It’s a lower pitch and not so jarring—it’s still loud enough to function as a kitchen timer, but it doesn’t make me want to jump out of my skin! The visuals are nice. The numbers are large and crisp, and the hashes within the 5 minute marks are clear and easy to see. The color of the visual component is perfect—I have the blue one, and it’s enough tint to see from far away, yet light enough to easily read the numbers and hashes. TLDR: it’s perfect for my usage at home! Alternatives don’t quite fit the bill, and I think this one is a really great price since it checks all the boxes! For those not used to using kitchen timers, just remember you have to turn past 55 minutes (to activate the bell) before selecting the desired time. I have to remind my husband when he uses it! I would love if this company made similar timers of different time lengths, like 20 minutes.

This is great for setting time limits! It doesn’t require batteries - which is a huge bonus!! It is colorful and shows the time moving as the color disappears. The numbers are large so kids can easily see the time expectations. The ticking noise is minimal but may annoy some people. It has a strong magnet on the back so it is placed on our fridge (but also has a stand so can be propped up in a table or dresser) and we can hear the ding easily in another room.

I really liked this timer and so did my 3.5 year old toddler. It helped me implement and enforce a 30 minute quiet time every day (this is a kid who refuses to nap or spend any time alone). We had it a few weeks and it worked great but then I guess he was playing with it and the inside mechanism broke so it doesn’t work anymore, and I can’t figure out how to get inside it to try to fix it. I thought, oh well maybe we don’t need a visual timer anymore for quiet. Turns out yes we do, quiet time has been harder to enforce the last few days but I’m going to shop the market for maybe a different model that won’t be so easy to break. I did love this one, and I liked that it didn’t require batteries, but lost one star because it’s not very durable.

Easy to use, ticking is not super loud, but is useful for those who need to hear the timer is on/running. Ring isn't too loud. It is loud, but not jarring. Tried silent count down timer before and child forgot it was on/didn't pay attention to time passing. This one is helping child with focusing issues.

Do not buy. It worked fine for 2 months until one day the indicator just stopped working. The rainbow part seemed to have dislodged. This is the second one it happens to. Also it's complicated for kids because the have to turn it all the way then go to the number they want. It also doesn't hang on the wall nicely. Very loose. When i bought the first one and this happened i thought maybe the kids did something, but then it happened again. You can't even open it and put it back

I bought another one of these for my home because it was so helpful at school. It is a great visual at school and students want to work to beat it. It is also great at home to help kids and adults stay on track with tasks.

This was just delivered yesterday and we used it right away this morning to help my almost 4 year old get excited about getting ready for daycare instead of fighting the whole process like most mornings. Well. It worked!! He loved being able to see how much tome he had to "race" getting dressed, shoes on, teeth brushed, etc. I ordered the rainbow one and it's perfect and easy to see! I love that we can take it anywhere because it had a spot to hang it, a magnet and a kickstand.

My students nearly destroyed this in the first few days of having it in class. It was a small behavioral needs classroom and they were definitely still struggling with respecting other people's things and playing way too rough when they knew it wasn't a rough play toy but a lesson aide. For my own studies, I've had luck with a smaller pomadoro flip timer with a dial read out and color countdown bar, but even if it's got the volume up I'll sometimes forget it's there. This is painfully loud and startling, so you definitely couldn't ignore this and it's hard to stop one it goes off. So it lost a star for the abrasive bell and difficult stopping it, something that can be a huge interruption in class. I think if you have space for this or a classroom that doesn't throw things, and you/your students don't jump at harsh alarms, then this could be great. It seemed a little off, as in slow one use but fast the next, even with fresh batteries, but I don't think that it's a major impact for most things. Still, lost a star there as it was the only option I had for a benchmarking assessment day and had to figure out if it was fast or slow which made it all the more stressful. These are my pros and cons, decide for yourself but double check the seller because some won't return or exchange a broken in the box clock as a colleague of mine discovered.

This timer has been a great way to keep the children aware of how much screentime they have had and how much there is still to go; timing showers so they can know how much time before they have to hop out, and for warning of time until we leave for an outing, or have to leave a fun place to go back home. Very loud ringer which did initially scare small children, but they've become accustomed to it. Good sturdy build- has been dropped numerous times and still works fine!

Clock is great, visual is super useful, just a bit loud ...

The alarm bell is not very loud and it doesn’t ring oh enough.
