Secura 7.5 Inch Visual Timer, 60 Minute Oversize Visual Countdown Timer for Kids and Adults, Durable Mechanical Time Management Tool (Green)

Great for the classroom.It does tick quietly like an egg timer, but it's a great visual cue.Magnets are super strong. Perfect for a whiteboard.

Pink was not as bright as anticipated- but the functionality of the product hits the mark. Visual Timers are a life saver when it comes to me actually "getting the thing done". It has helped me achieve my mini goals and relieved a ton of stress!

Love this timer for my 2.5 year old! It is easy to use and made it so he could easily see how much time left there was before we needed to clean up/move on/etc. You do have to rotate the timer to 55 and then to your time if setting it for a small amount of time in order for the buzzer to go off- not a big deal, just something to keep in mind when using. Strong magnets made it secure to the fridge. Unfortunately, the color disc broke after about a month of use and it is no longer usable. But I contacted Secura customer service and found out the visual timer has a two year warranty and they immediately addressed the issue. Very happy with this purchase!

After a couple months it started not buzzing 100% correctly. Very loud and great visual, fairly accurate in timing. Doesn’t buzz for short times- still works for littles though!

This is great and with the stand AND heavy duty magnets can be used on a table or nightstand or stuck on the fridge. The only negative (which might not be for other folks) is the alarm sound - the special needs child I was working with loves the timer (and especially loved that it was blue), but he's very sensitive to sounds. This one sounds like a loud old ringing timer. (My dogs aren't fans of the alarm sound, either, but have gotten used to it). I highly recommend it though for size and durability.

I ordered this product for my classroom (in or around August 2024) and it was a great tool for time management. However, it is the beginning of April, (not even 1 year of owning) and the timer is not working. I have used it like I always have, it is hanging on the wall where it has always been, and the timer will slow and/or stop around the 4 minute mark. If I shake it, it will sometimes restart the countdown, but will either slow, stop, or finally make it to the ding. I have not found anywhere easily how to contact the seller.

I ordered one green and one blue. I have used both for up to 5 minutes at a time. The timing is accurate enough for my purposes. Both do go 10-20 seconds beyond the actual time set when compared to a stop watch, but it is not easy to be exact when setting the timer so this time difference may be due to that. They make a ticking sound while operating, but it is not incredibly loud and has not been distracting for my purposes (I work with adults). They are relatively small, so are easy to pack up and take with me for off-site use. I really like that they do not require batteries so I don’t have that added expense or worry. The colored disks are bright enough that you can easily gauge your time visually even from a distance. For me, the biggest issue has to do with operation of the bell. The blue timer will "ding" several times between minutes 4 and 3 and the green one between minutes 3 and 2. This random "dinging" is problematic, as it distracts people from their work because they erroneously think their time is up. The second problem is the fact that neither timer makes a noise when the entire time has elapsed - the ticking just stops. Because the ticking is relatively quiet, I can’t hear it unless I am pretty close by. Therefore, I have to repeatedly look at the timer to know when time is up, which takes my attention away from the work I am doing while the timer is running. If I turn the knob to 0 manually, the timer sounds, but it does not sound at all when operating on its own. If this issue were to be corrected, these visual timers would be perfect for my purposes.

I bought this for my classroom, and it is SO helpful for my students AND me! We try to “beat the clock” when we have our phonics UFLI lessons (supposed to be 30 mins on the dot), and it helps them SEE how much time is left since it’s not digital. I’m so glad I bought this. It truly is a game changer. Also, I love how it is magnetic. The magnet is so strong it is literally almost kinda hard to pull it off my whiteboard (which means there’s no chance it can get knocked off!). Fully recommend.
