Digital Countdown Timer for Home & Office - 5/10/15/20/30 Minute Presets, Easy-to-Use Time Management Tool with Clock (Yellow) - Perfect for Cooking, Workouts, Meetings & Study Sessions

This is a simple but very good execution of a Pomodoro-like timer. I find the action of rotating the timer to be very engaging and novel enough to keep my interest so that I do end up using it for time management . Once it is set up, it is very easy. I appreciate the fact that the alarm will turn off on its own eventually if I can't get to it, but not before giving me plenty of incentive to beat the timer or turn it off manually, as the sound of alarm increases in intensity over time. It is also possible to change the volume of the alarm. It is not possible to change the tone of the alarm, but I appreciate this because it makes it a simpler product.A small negative is the fact that the settings buttons are on the back, so you cannot see the face and the settings buttons at the same time. But setting up is a fairly rare action, just to adjust the time or set the alarm. But for this reason, I would not say that the alarm feature is a primary feature of this device. It is more a timer with an included alarm than it is a clock/alarm with timer functionality.*By the way, this doesn't come with batteries, so order some separately. It takes 2 AAA batteries.
