Znewtech Hexagon Rotating Timer (White)

I saw this in a Lifetime movie (the bad guy wakes up and uses one) and I said, "I need to have that." Lo and behold, I have one, and I love it! I have been deepening my meditation practice and I use the preset intervals, depending on what I want to do. I believe you can manually set other time intervals, but I'm good with the ones provided. I love an item that is functional, attractive, and just fun to use! Great product at a very reasonable price!

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 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

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 resetIt 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.

It works, and is just about the best product of its type that I've yet found but the sensor for detecting orientation is a bit janky and needs a shake to set / reset it.Relativly cheap and it shows - would have liked to pay more for a better product.
