Review: Beautiful and delightful item - Looks great, feels nice
Review: Time Flows Upward, Just Like Your Energy - I gifted this magical little timer to a friend as a gentle nudge to prioritize herself and recharge. She loved it so much, it earned a spot on her “happy shelf.” But here’s the twist—the liquid flows upward. Yes, upward! Defying gravity, it’s like a tiny meditation on life: when you take time to breathe, rest, and reset, your energy doesn’t run out—it rises. It’s not just a timer; it’s a spiritual metaphor in a bottle. Perfect for classrooms, kids, or anyone who needs a quirky reminder that life’s best moments often come when you let time flow…up.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you're using it for a timer . . .
*by D***Y on December 5, 2024*

If you're using it for a precise timer, you should check the time. Mine is actually about 12 minutes (for most of the blue stuff to get to the top, there are still lots of stragglers that I don't count in the total time). My son uses it for his homework timer, so it's not necessary for precision, but it does claim to be +/- 10% accurate, which it is not. Nevertheless, it is fun to watch.
