Functionally what I wanted - but Very Flimsy Mar 31, 2008
By Lisa Shea
"medieval swordfighting enthusiast"
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2YPGV0F2W69LI There is both an alarmed (two quiet beep) and a non-alarmed version of this timer. I got the non-alarmed version since the "alarm" is so meaningless, but the review is pretty much the same for both. It is the only visual timer on the market, really, so if you want something of this style, you have to buy this one. It is great for glancing over and seeing immediately how much time you have left in a visual "pie chart" sort of way, without having to look for numbers or dots or anything else. That being said, this is VERY cheap and flimsy and you pay 4-5 times as much as you'd pay for any other timer. So I'm really looking forward to other people coming out with similar products that are higher quality and more reasonable in price.

 Time timer Oct 14, 2007
By Julie
"monstiesmom"
This is a very useful tool we've been using with my 4 yr-old son with Autism. It helps greatly with transitions so he can see how much time he has left with an activity and when the time is up. As far as that goes, it's GREAT. I think it is expensive for the quality. It looks, in the picture, to be more durable than it is. The little face and the red timer part is just a plastic sheet. Not something you'd want a child to play with because it wouldn't take much to break it. Also, sometimes the battery slips and then it doesn't work. I have to make sure that the battery is always in place. Because it's been SO helpful, I gave it four stars, but it probably only deserves 3. That being said, it's been so helpful, I'd still buy it again...

Good for time visualization for children Dec 14, 2007
By M. Jones
At my son's kindergarten parent-teacher conference, we found out that our son had a hard time staying focussed on his school work. He was distracted by this other students and activities around him. We bought this clock for the teacher to set on his desk while doing his ABC worksheets to help him stay focused and have a visual idea of how much time he has left. It's working fairly well. However, it's not the most durable thing: 1.) if you drop it, the battery becomes dislodged and it doesn't work until you realize this and re-install the AA battery and 2.)the red part is a circle of thin red acetate, and if someone spins it all the way around past 59 minutes, it will come out of it's track and need to be tucked back in again. This clock is completely silent, no tick tick tick-ing. And the alarm is two very soft beeps, then it shuts off. I thought it was a little expensive for what you get, but there's not a lot of alternative products to choose from when trying to easily help a 5 year old visualize time. Since there is not really another competing brand for this type of clock, I would buy it again.

 Piece of junk Mar 10, 2009
By Rita C.
I've used this timer probably a total of 10-15 times, and it is completely dead. It has not been dropped or in any other way damaged. Brand new battery. It simply doesn't advance. This was intermittent for a while, then it stopped working altogether. There's nothing more frustrating than relying on something to help your morning get-ready-for-school routine and realizing five minutes after it was supposed to go off that it didn't budge at all. Talk about a nasty transition tantrum! My hopes for a peaceful morning autism miracle were crushed in a nanosecond.
On top of that, the beep is so incredibly silent (and it only does two quick "beep-beeps"), you couldn't hear it eight feet away over the crunching sound of two children eating cereal in an otherwise silent room.
Don't waste your money.
In theory a working visual timer with the audible beep at the end would be more effective in helping my son self-monitor time spent on daily living skills (i.e. promote independence). It also would remove the issue of Mom having to prompt him through something when time was up, creating an oppositional battle in a time crunch. But it's the only one on the market (regardless of dealer...check out the bottom of the face in the picture where it lists the patent numbers and registered mark for "Time Timer").
So, now what?
My suggestions: just use the much less expensive audible timers. There are some that will do a quick beep when there are only 10 minutes left, then five minutes left. Use pictures to support the transition. And if necessary put a little teaching clock up on the wall next to an analog clock (find the teaching clocks at the dollar store or at Wal-Mart). Tell your child "When our clock looks just like this clock, breakfast time will be done."
Then save your money for other therapy or updating your picture schedule.

Didn't Work -- Horrible Customer Service Mar 23, 2011
By Laura
I had such high hopes for this product after seeing one in use at my son's school. I ordered two 3" timers and neither of them worked. When I tried to return them to the company, they refused to exchange them. All I wanted to do was exchange the defective timers for working ones, and the customer service representatives were rude. These timers are expensive, and as consumers, we should expect the products to work. I had a horrible experience with both the product and the service.
