Secura 60-Minute Visual Countdown Timer, 7.5-Inch Oversize Classroom Visual Timer for Kids and Adults, Durable Mechanical Kitchen Timer Clock with Magnetic Backing (Blue)

I didn't look at the dimensions so I expected something a quarter of this size. These are really large which is great for my kids to be able to see across the room. The magnets are super strong so my kids can't remove them from the fridge without help. No batteries required, which is great! I've been using them a lot and mostly instead of saying "you only get an hour of TV time" I'll say "you get to start TV time in an hour" so that when the timer goes off it's been a positive thing. Simplest thing to use, even a 2-year-old can do it. The only thing I don't love is how annoying the ticking sound can be.

I LOVE this timer in my first grade inclusion class! They love it too! I love that it doesn't need batteries or to be charged, it's like and old school kitchen timer. It's large enough for me to display on my whiteboard and the whole class can see. That is another reason I love it because it has 2 huge stripes ng magnets on the back that hold it to my whiteboard. It also has a stand for if I need to move it or take it with me to recess. It did start to stop ticking and would not go off after almost a whole school year of using it daily. I contacted the company and they were very quick to send a response and replacement. I couldn't recommend this timer and company more. I've actually talked 3 coworkers at school into to buying them! They love it too! The kids were so sad when it stopped working and were so lost without it. They are going to be so excited when they see the new working timer tomorrow!! Thank you Secura!!!

I use the Secura 7.5 Inch Visual Timer in my classroom, and it has been a fantastic tool for both my students and me. The large, clear display makes it easy for kids to see how much time they have left, which helps them stay focused and manage their work better. I love that it doesn’t rely on batteries and is very durable—perfect for everyday classroom use. The dark green color is also a nice touch, giving it a calm and professional look. Overall, it’s simple, reliable, and effective for teaching time management. Highly recommend for teachers and parents alike!

Just arrived today and I was very excited to see it! My initial impression is that this is a durable item. It is a bit heavier than I expected, but the frame is metal and it feels like quality components. I like that it has 3 ways to hang/set up. I used the magnet strips to put it on a magnetic whiteboard and it feels secure - I was kind of wondering how well it would actually stay there.Tried it out and the alarm could be heard across the house in a different room (small 1 level house). I think it went off about 1 minute early. Note: there is NO SWITCH FOR THE ALARM. Maybe because I looked at so many choices that had that option, I assumed it had one. But it doesn’t. I think this will still be great for my intended use, but wish I could adjust the alarm to softer or off.Will update after a few months of use.

This timer works as expected. I needed something to keep me on track for how long kids get to play before i need to give a 5 minute notice that they'll be cleaning up soon. This works perfectly and is loud enough to hear outside. I love the variety of colors it comes in too.

This click is so useful for kids with autism and ADHD. They are easy to use and understand and are a great visual aid. The timer is easy to use, to start and turn off and is clear. The quality is fantastic! I’ve recommended them to many clients over the years and bought this one for my niece’s fourth grade classroom.

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.

This served it's purpose, which was helping my kids understand how to wait for a set amount of time (under an hour) for something. The visual helped them understand progression. It didn't stand up very well to my younger child spinning the dial over and over. The green film eventually caught on the rest of the clock face and now it won't operate. Recently had to throw it away. Not much is truly child proof and that's understandable.
