TIME TIMERRetro 8 inch Eco Edition Visual Timer - 60 Minute Desk Countdown Clock Made with at Least 20% Natural Plant Material- Green Land

I've been wanting a Time Timer for a while, but I did't want the plastic. This was a great find and I like that the colors are more neutral toned. It is lightweight and has little legs on the bottom to prop it up. It has the option to turn on and off the sound for when time is up. It only beeps for a couple times. My only feedback is that the dial is a bit flimsy, so be careful when moving it to the desired time interval and not press down too hard to not damage it. I would also like to see a handle option to make it easier for my daughter to move it from room to room as she needs it.

Overall, I do love this. It comes with options to mount and some kickstands. I've brought this with me on the go, so the kickstands could come in handy even if you decide to mount it. I used a velcro 3M strip to mount it to my wall so I'm able to quickly take it on and off if I want to take it with me even just to another room. It is probably too big for most people to want to bring with them (e.g., to a coffee shop or something), though they do have smaller versions. This is nice for indoors with how large and visual it is, and I do like the recycled-material-retro look.For sound, there's a switch to toggle if you want a sound to go off when the time runs out. It is quite loud, like a traditional kitchen timer. I've found that if my battery is low it may not go off, or may go off later. After replacing my battery, it's gone off consistently, but also has gone off twice in a row once. Not a big deal for me at the end of the day.

I had to return the first one of these I received because the spot the for the battery was so poorly manufactured you couldn't fit a battery in. The replacement has nearly the same problem, but I was able to get it in (I fear it may not come out when it runs out, though. The front feels really flimsy and I'm expecting it will get broken quickly.

I have used similar products in the classroom, but I have realized that I need something to keep me focused at home. I like that the coloring is subtle unlike the ones I used in class. It is not super sturdy, but as it is for an adult and shouldn’t get much wear and tear, it is fine. My husband even said it would benefit him. It can be hung on a wall or has fold out legs for a table or desk. I felt like it was a good value for the money.

I like the retro design and analog timer. This is a good tool for taking practice tests. It is compact and won't take up much desk space. Highly recommend it.
