Hexagon Flip Timer with Mute & Alarm - Easy to Use - Pomodoro & Classroom Timer - Magnetic Cube - Black

It is very easy to use and reset. I mostly use it for workouts and timing myself so I don't lose track of time when I get sucked in a book.

It was easy to set up, easy to use, the alarm is a little loud for my office where I planned to use it for productivity reasons so I wish it had a vibrate function. I’m going to keep it on silent mode and figure out a way to put it more in my line of sight so I can’t miss the screen flashing when the time is up, but basically exactly as it’s advertised is how it functions and it’s a pretty cute little thing.

Worked well, but then suddenly stopped working after two months

I know I can easily use a phone timer, but there are times where I like a physical timer. I am recovering from surgery which requires me to force myself to get up and move every hour. I find it too tempting at times to ignore my phone/watch timer, but if I have a physical timer across the room, I have to get up and turn it off. Also, I will be soon doing a lot of stretches and exercises for 1 or 5 minutes, so using this will be easier than continually asking my phone for a 1-minute or 5-minute countdown. So, I am really glad I found this updated version of my old trusty timer. This one is hexagonal, with sides for timers of 1, 5, 10, 25, 30, and 60 minutes.You do need to provide your own pair of AAA batteries. There is an on-off-mute switch (I don't see the value of the mute switch myself, it doesn't vibrate) so you can turn it off and prevent accidental timer activation. Once it's on, simply turn the number side up for the number of minutes you want a timer. Once you do, it will do a short beep so you know the timer is activated. For example, turn 5 up to get a 5 minute countdown. There are also minute up/down buttons on the bottom of the timer. So, if you wanted a 20 minute timer (which isn't one of the sides), you could put 25 up, and then press the minute down button 5 times to have a 20 minute timer. You can also pause the timer by turning it top-down and then back on by returning to the side you selected. Also, if you have a timer running and want to cancel, you can simply stand the timer right-side-up and it will cancel.The timer is loud enough to be heard across a room, but probably not in the rest of the house if you have the door closed. I expect to use it as a nap-timer before long... The timer is very light. It has a plain but polished look.This hexagonal timer does exactly what I'm needing it to do. I may not use it every day, but it's very handy for me to get a 1, 5, or 20 minute countdown without having to talk to my phone or press buttons on a digital timer.

It truly is a brilliant invention!In spite of the instructions being slightly incorrect, the timer is extremely easy to figure out how to use AND, kinda fun also!The instructions say it should be “placed on a hard-flat surface with the chosen time facing up.” (the implication being a HORIZONTAL surface)Also….. “A red light will flash until the selected time limit is reached.”I quickly discovered that it also works by just holding the timer IN MY HAND or, it even works when it’s attached to a VERTICAL metal surface due to the internal magnet.In my picture it’s magnetically attached to the range hood above our stove.In my brief video you SEE the timer WORK without being placed on a hard-flat surface.However, you WON’T see a red light flash until the selected time is reached, because there IS NO red light. But, you WILL see a blue light flash WHEN the selected time IS reached and this blue light ISN’T mentioned in the instructions.Just bear in mind that your selected time MUST face up to count down the minutes you want timed.Also, the magnet isn’t very strong, so on a vertical surface like the refrigerator, it tends to slide down which is annoying but, I think the position I put it on the range hood above the stove will be its perfect home due to the underneath support from the angled part of the range hood where it can’t slide down due to the weak magnet.So I’m really not complaining, just providing information to you other folks out there who purchase it and might get a little frustrated at first but, I’m pretty certain when you use it, you’ll enjoy this timer just as much as I do.
