Secura 60-Minute Rainbow Visual Timer 6-Inch Mechanical Countdown Timers for Teaching, Meeting, Cooking, Working - Timer for Kids with Magnetic Backing (Blue)

I’m a childless adult with ADHD. For decades, I’ve used kitchen timers to set work intervals and stay on task. The ticking always helped, but the alarm was usually jarring and often made me jump. I recently learned about visual timers, and loved the concept—but most products list silence (not ticking) as a feature. The ticking is part of what I love! I searched high and low for a visual timer that ticked, and this one checked every box. And it’s so much better than I expected! The display is BIG. You can easily read it from across the room. It is fully mechanical, so the tactile feedback of setting the time is just *chefs kiss* so satisfying. Cranking the dial feels sturdy and feels like nice mechanics inside. Unlike the timers I was using before, the bell is much softer. It’s a lower pitch and not so jarring—it’s still loud enough to function as a kitchen timer, but it doesn’t make me want to jump out of my skin! The visuals are nice. The numbers are large and crisp, and the hashes within the 5 minute marks are clear and easy to see. The color of the visual component is perfect—I have the blue one, and it’s enough tint to see from far away, yet light enough to easily read the numbers and hashes. TLDR: it’s perfect for my usage at home! Alternatives don’t quite fit the bill, and I think this one is a really great price since it checks all the boxes! For those not used to using kitchen timers, just remember you have to turn past 55 minutes (to activate the bell) before selecting the desired time. I have to remind my husband when he uses it! I would love if this company made similar timers of different time lengths, like 20 minutes.

This is great for setting time limits! It doesn’t require batteries - which is a huge bonus!! It is colorful and shows the time moving as the color disappears. The numbers are large so kids can easily see the time expectations. The ticking noise is minimal but may annoy some people. It has a strong magnet on the back so it is placed on our fridge (but also has a stand so can be propped up in a table or dresser) and we can hear the ding easily in another room.

Works great but it's a bit loud. Scares the daylights out of my kids and me when it goes off.

Works great. Nice visual cue for transitions.

My timer stopped working a little over a month after I purchased it and therefore I missed the return window!! It stayed stuck on 3 minutes and I could not get it to reset. Also, it seems that these brands of timers if set on 5 minutes or less it will not sound. I recommend trying a different type and brand!!

I bought another one of these for my home because it was so helpful at school. It is a great visual at school and students want to work to beat it. It is also great at home to help kids and adults stay on track with tasks.

Easy to use, ticking is not super loud, but is useful for those who need to hear the timer is on/running. Ring isn't too loud. It is loud, but not jarring. Tried silent count down timer before and child forgot it was on/didn't pay attention to time passing. This one is helping child with focusing issues.

Love it! But unfortunately after maybe four uses the sun disconnected and I can no longer use it:(

This timer has been a great way to keep the children aware of how much screentime they have had and how much there is still to go; timing showers so they can know how much time before they have to hop out, and for warning of time until we leave for an outing, or have to leave a fun place to go back home. Very loud ringer which did initially scare small children, but they've become accustomed to it. Good sturdy build- has been dropped numerous times and still works fine!

Clock is great, visual is super useful, just a bit loud ...

Minuteur assez grand parfois visuellement. Évitez les crises pour la fin d'une activité, ou temps d'écran, permet à l'enfant de connaître son temps pour jouer ou se préparer, permet à tout le monde d'être plus zen sans mettre la pression. Idéal et permet à l'enfant d'être acteur de son temps sur sa journée ☺️

The alarm bell is not very loud and it doesn’t ring oh enough.
