So cute. Fits in your palm. Accurate timer. I live by it now

This is a great timer. I use it to time almost any task sedentary task I'm performing (like doing chess tactics exercises, musical exercises, writing exercises). Because the audible alarm is not loud, I don't think it is good for loud or physically active tasks (like a kitchen timer or timing physical exercises) ... you need to have the timer in your field of view (to see the flashing light) or the environment needs to be quiet enough that the vibration or quiet beep can get your attention. But there are plenty of tasks that are compatible and this timer is the simplest way to time them.Tip: The numbers embossed on the sides are hard to read in low light, and so it can be easy to set the wrong time interval. if you are in a low light situation, use a sticker (e.g. a small post-it is fine) to indicate which side you want to put on top to start/re-start the timer.Charging requires a USB-C cable that is connected to a USB-A power source. A cable that is USB-C on both both ends will not work. I've tested a number of different cables and as long as the charging cable has a USB-A connector on one end, then charging will work. I've even tested with a USB-C charging port, but added a USB-C to USB-A converter cable and then a USB-A to USB-C cable connected to the timer and that worked. It is only USB-C direct to USB-C that doesn't work. No clue why, but at least you can use other cables to charge the timer if you misplace the originally provided cable.

Muy útil.

The timer works exactly as advertised. There's no count down screen, but that's not what this is used for. The point is to train yourself to forget about time while you're using it. It's great for getting 10 minutes of productivity on some task you hate, but my favorite use is giving myself creative space that's time bound. I can let my mind wander and not worry about being unproductive or spinning out into procrastination. Sometimes I use it to race against myself and last performance on a repeated task. I use it a little more all the time.

This is a great timer - but after 3 months it stopped charging. There's no way to replace the battery, so now I just have to throw it out.
