60 Minute Wind Up Timer, Visual Mechanical Timer, from 0 to 60 Minutes, for Kitchen, Hair Color Processing, Tanning, Kids' Home and Classroom Activities or Timeouts, Black

This is the timer I grew up with. I purchased one of those digital timers and it is now at the city dump. For those of you that are having problems with this timer, READ THE DIRECTIONS! Turn the timer all the way till it stops, and then back it to the time you need. It is very easy to do. Perhaps it is because I used this type of timer from my early days (60s) but it works and it works well. Yes, it will only do an hour at a time, but it is much more trustworthy than the newer ones. I used a digital one and after a year, it wouldn't do anything but tell me the time - the timer stopped working all together. This one is tried and true.

These were actually bought to be fine out timers. They work pretty well. We do have to turn them past the desired time and then back to it if it is less than 3min though. But I think they is normal from my past experience.

As best I can tell seems like a scam product. Some cheap trinket designed to try to make money inappropriately. There is a bell in it so that the vendor can say it has a bell. I can tell when I shake it. The bell does not work at all. The product looks extremely cheaply made. A complete waste of my time. I think Amazon uses it's customer base to do quality control on products which I am not happy about. So the seconds click off then nothing happens. So, I am returning it. I have also learned that I think vendors change their names when they get bad product reviews and sell it under a different name. I won't buy anything that even looks like this. Yes, some things require going to the store to make sure they work. So, Amazon I am getting trained not to buy through the web site but go to the store instead to make sure the product works. You (Amazon) really need more quality control then this. Don't bother buying this product.

This is like the one I had many years ago! It does have a loud tick, but like the one years ago, I put it across the house. The ring is nice and loud. I don’t have to listen carefully for my stove timer now. When I was younger, I used it to time my naps, cooking and exercising. I got it for exercising since I’m starting back up. Go all the way around with the dial then back track it for the time you wish. Like right now. I back tracked it to 55 the back around to 15 minutes. (Time to check on our pumpkin pie.) it’s a good purchase. I’ve had it one day. It’s just very slight not as sturdy as years ago, but very close to the same. The dial isn’t as easy to turn, but no big deal just different.

Easy to use Keeps correct time Loud bell Easy to read time

***Important Update! Turn timer dial to 60 minutes, then set your time dial to what time you want. The bell will work then. I tried to set the time to 5 minutes for making tea and the bell would not ring. Come to find out after watching some videos online, you need to wind the timer (clockwise) all the way to load the spring up to ring the bell. Then turn the dial counter clockwise to the desired time that you want. Worked every time I did it that way. Hope this helps someone.

Works as expected. I Like the color Black.

Good: Tics and keeps time. Bad: Does not have a bell to alert when ticking stops. You have to be very near it to know when ticking stops. Other than that, it is ok for a cheap little timer.
