Time Tracker Mini Visual Timer, Classroom Timer, Hand Washing Timer, Auditory and Visual Cue, Ages 3+

I have a four-year old who loves to dally. When she wants to get a task done, it only takes her 3 minutes, but sometimes she can go for 3 hours and still not have it finished. Trying to set limits on her is difficult, because she doesn't really understand the concept of time yet. Using other timers, even cute ones, has always resulted in a major meltdown, because she feels as if her time is almost up from the moment we press start - even after repeated assurance that she has more than enough time to complete the task at hand. This timer has worked miracles in our house. . . she knows she's being timed, and that when her time is up there will be consequences, but as long as the light is green, she stays on task and doesn't freak out about it. Being able to set a warning bell/light is genius - she understands that now is the time to rush to get it done before it goes red, and though from time to time we do have orange-light meltdowns, they've been far less frequent than with our old timers or with no timer at all. It has made a huge difference. Having a concrete thing to mark the end leads to much less arguing and begging for a little bit more time. You might be able to sway mommy with tears, but a timer is a machine - when it turns red she can't plead with it for more time. Life has gone on much more smoothly for us since we got this awesome little timer! You'd think she'd hate it, but she actually really loves it, and ASKS us to set it for things that we wouldn't normally. I DO wish that it could be set for smaller increments - at least that the warning light could be set in single minutes instead of increments of 5 - so that we could use it to mark when it's time to give someone else a turn with a toy, but as it is, I love it and highly recommend it to anyone going through a similar problem. We use it mostly for room cleaning (it doesn't take 4 hours anymore!), getting ready to leave the house (be ready in 15 minutes, shoes and all!), to set limits on time spent on her computer, and to keep her in her room during quiet time - she doesn't come out every 3 minutes anymore, because she can see that it isn't time yet!

I read all the reviews and found them to be true to a point. When I first got it and put the batteries in... It didn't work like in other reviews... Changing the batteries didn't work... Flipping them around didn't work... but then I rubbed/cleaned the battery contacts and boom! Worked like a charm. The other issue is that the green and yellow dials are not intuitive as mentioned in other reviews when it comes to setting times but it becomes less of an issue the longer you use it. As far as what I got it for and how functional it is... Well, I am using it to help myself and patients maintain timeliness during appointments. With some prefacing and education, it has been well received by patients... both during the appointment and in how patients like being seen on time. It gives both auditory and visual queues that may be internalized at future encounters as it anecdotally appears Later visits are easier to maintain timeliness and we have time to spare to address other issues. Another physician recently bought one and we are looking at doing a quality review and patient survey. If it objectively shows improvements and good patient reviews, we may implement this in the whole clinic.

First, Its simple to use imo - it has two circular bands which you can twist to set timer, the upper band is for the total time of tracking say, T (e.g 20 minutes), and lower band is the time remaining when you want the warning alarm/siren to start sound, say e.g you set the lower band to 5 minutes. So you will get a warning sounds (like a quick horn) at, T - 5 = 15 minutes later. That isn’t so hard , is it ? After T = 20 minutes you get another sounds/siren to indicate time off. It starts to blink with yellow light after warning time, i.e at T = 15 minutes in this example. The light is green when you set the alarm, and its red before you start the timer ( just turned on mode but not in use). You can adjust the sound volume. Also want to mentioned it takes 3 small batteries ( AAA I think, just confirm) My use case - Its not only for kids, I am an adult and I am using it everyday, I will mention my example how it is helping break one of my bad habits. So I used to spend a lot of time in restroom in morning, mostly browsing quora, Facebook and other news apps while doing big job and then pondering what I read during shower, wasting almost an hour and eventually missing my trains and not be in office at time I wanted to be. I deleted bunch of apps like Facebook which helped for a while but eventually I found something else to waste time. I carried phone with me as an excuse to be aware of time, check my schedule for the day etc. I tried using phone timers, alarms etc none of which actually worked because none had a way to warm me. So solution really was to not carry my phone with me but still get my time tracked and something with a warning so I can be time bound and rush up when warning sounds. I looked for a solution and luckily I found this. Now I don’t take my phone with me, just this mini tracker, set it to 20 mins with a 10 minutes warning and to my surprise I am all ready before 20 mins most of the times lately and able to shut it off before the final warning kicks in (after 20 minutes). The only concern some might have is this that the minimum unit of time is 5 minutes and you can't be more granular than that. This company has some more digital time tracker products which you can set at minutes/seconds level but I really wanted something very simple to not distract myself and it really fits my use case. As some of reviewers mentioned it to be a cheap quality, its actually not for the price. Overall I am very happy with this product and will highly recommend it. I have just started to use it so will update how it turns out in long run in terms of product lifecycle.

I bought this instead of the lakeshore similar timer because I thought the lights were steady instead of flashing and bright. But this one does have a flashing yellow light for the warning time.
