As time elapses, the colored disk disappears in a graphic, clear way – making common routines at work, school and home stress-free and enjoyable. The Time Timer MOD is a modern take on time management from Time Timer. The MOD is a sleek 60-minute visual timer with a removable, sky blue silicone cover that looks great on your office desk, in-home learning center, homework area, sitting on the kitchen counter, or in a classroom.

A powerful visual tool that works across all languages, cultures, and abilities. Easy to use: Turn the center knob on the front of the timer counter-clockwise until you reach your chosen amount of time (up to 60-minutes). The timer is now set, and the quiet countdown has begun. No ticking – no distractions! As time expires, the red disk disappears moving in a clockwise direction – providing an understanding of time left with just a quick glance. This tabletop visual timer has an optional alert (on/off) on the back of the timer which controls the sound at the end of the timing cycle.

Delivers just one beepThe media could not be loaded.
I thought all TimeTimers of this size were the same, but unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be the case. The TimeTimers I have seen and heard online had an alarm that beeped four times, whereas the one I received let out only a singular beep. I contacted the seller to tell them of my concern and their response was that the TimeTimer has more than one variation, some come with a softer alarm/less beeps and others with a louder alarm/more beeps. I’m upset I got the short end of the stick, but it gets the job done. It helps keep track of my Pomodoros, I just have to be more attentive to the alarm.

Great, until……it stopped working!When this timer arrived it quickly moved into position as the favorite. It was colorful and clearly indicated time remaining.However, after 27 months it stopped working. It would cruise along for about 80% of the selected time period and would then go no further.I gave it 3 stars based on the service it provided (maybe I should have given it less).Bottom line – I will not buy it again.

Overrated Product & No Customer CareThis is a useful concept, to be sure, but buyer beware.I hesitated a bit to buy a Time Timer because it just seems expensive for what it is, and it’s not like we have a shortage of alarms and timers in our home. However, as I am just starting to help my teen daughter navigate her ADHD diagnosis and address time management, especially, I decided to try it based on recommendations from various experts. Truthfully, my daughter wasn’t into it, so we didn’t try it immediately after receiving it. When we did, I noted that the dial does move, so there is a visual reminder of the passage of time, but the alarm consisted of 3 faint beeps- if it sounded at all. I reached out to the company directly because I noticed that the toggle doesn’t move fully to the left (sound on) but it does move fully to the right (sound off). So, it seemed to be a defective product. The company did not respond, even though the website claims to have a satisfaction guarantee.Fast forward, I am dealing with all of the complex challenges of an adolescent who has ADHD, and finally got around to following up. I genuinely believe this could be a valuable tool, but it is absolutely useless if the alarm doesn’t sound. I learned today that the company will NOT refund or exchange timers bought on Amazon (which, regrettably, I used just for ease) and my window to do so through Amazon has now closed. This is my fault, to be sure. However, it is hard for me to understand why the Time Timer company is unresponsive and wouldn’t WANT to its customers to be 100% satisfied.Truthfully, I would expect this from Amazon, but I definitely expected more from Time Timer. Needless to say, I’m really disappointed that a company that purports to care about its consumers and, frankly, charges a lot for its products would uphold its satisfaction guarantee, no matter what. Were the company to make good, I would probably buy another- perhaps my daughter would want one of the small ones to use in school, who knows? That’s how companies build good will and inspire people to buy again. If I do hear from Amazon or Time Timer, I will update this review, but that’s probably unrealistic and I’m really just typing to offset the irritation I feel looking at the box on my kitchen counter. As a parent of a child with ADHD, life is frustrating enough and this is just another headache. I feel like I was duped into buying a plastic object that will probably end up in landfill, so I would just advise shoppers of Time Timers poor quality control and customer care.

Perfect for those sensitive to sounds!If sounds are a problem, this is the perfect timer. Can’t hear it ticking unless it goes up to your ear, and you can turn off the alarm beeping and just see when time is over. If beeping is on, it only beeps in four quick pairs and quits – no need to run over and turn anything off. Might be marketed for children, but this is awesome for ADHD, deep work, people who get overly focused, and any sound-sensitive person.

Functions poorly.This timer, although easy to read, is so cheaply made that I have to remove the battery after using it to prevent the timer from going off every minute or so. I would not reorder this. Super sad that it doesn’t function well because I was excited to use this my ADHD daughter.

Great for Kids and ADHD!As an adult with ADHD, I have always struggled with being on time for things and with judging and estimating how much time an activity or project will take. It’s called “time blindness”. Once my two boys were also diagnosed, as it is highly hereditary, I decided I needed to get this both for myself and for my kids to help us better visualize time passing.It works simply – you turn the timer and the time remaining is represented by a shrinking red wedge. It has helped me and my kids to better track our time on tasks and to get ready for work/school/etc. It has a durable design, and the silicone “boot” is key to keeping it from being destroyed by two boys that love to fidget with everything. This is the original, per se, and is worth spending the bit extra to get a time timer that will last.

Puzzling way that it operates.PROS: It’s the only timer of its kind that moves clockwise the way that literally EVERYONE on earth reads a clock. Also, the old battery cover that needed a screw (this is based on past complaints) has been replaced with one that’s removable with fingers.CONS: I could only set the disc to 59 minutes (see picture). The company’s website says that this is normal, because the red color doesn’t cover the entire disk, thus leaving a 1 minute gap. Okaaaay. Which begs the question: why? why? WHY? Every other timer on Amazon does not have this problem. If someone can give me a good reason for this I’m willing to upgrade my rating. Also, if you’ll look closely at my picture, even if they covered the entire disk with red they’d still be a tiny gap of white.I can’t speak of durability yet because I just got this, but based on some complaints I’m crossing my fingers that if anything goes wrong, it happens within the return window.

Bummer! They broke it in 15 days.Awesome product. Really liked it, better than the original time timer bc it stands freely on its own. The fun color helped keep things positive-but I left it on the table and tiny hands turned it until it could turn no more, so the red part must have fallen off the knob and there’s no way to get it back on-so I am out $30 after exactly 15 days.

Great timers for kids (and adults!)Okay so I love these timers. I’m embarrassed to say I’ve bought 5 of them now for different rooms/purposes so I don’t have to go looking for them. I have noticed the beep is sometimes shorter than usual or doesn’t go off randomly but it keeps accurate time and the visual countdown is what makes these unique. I love this style and prefer it over the larger black wall hanging model which I also own. They look chic and keep you on track

Love it for my 3 year oldThis has worked great to help keep my 3 year old on track. He gets 2 minutes to brush teeth then it’s “mommy’s turn” and when we are done there, we set it for 15 for the rest of the bedtime routine. It has cut out the stalling when it’s time to get in bed and/or trying to drag things out. “It beeped, we ran out of time for tonight. You’ll have to get your jammies on quicker tomorrow night buddy!”. We also have a rule that if he touches it once the time starts, we lose a minute and that has helped with their instinct to try and add more time. It’s been a great little clock for us.
