Kitchen Timers for Cooking, Chef Cooking Timer Clock with Loud Alarm,100% Mechanical Desk Timer - No Batteries Required - Magnetic Backing, Exquisite Stainless Steel Body - Countdown Reminder Magnetic

Back to basics...this is a perfect little timer. Looks good (no magnet) but sits on counter safely. No batteries or digital settings to deal with. Just turn the dial all the way to 55 minutes and then turn back to desired time. Rings loudly enough. Also price is right. Highly recommend!

Great timer! Works as it should, easy to use. Loud enough to hear from another room.

I use a timer between sets when weightlifting. Because I do heavy compound lifts (powerlifting), sometimes I'm waiting several minutes to ensure that I've recovered enough to complete the next set successfully. But I also don't want to wait too long because a gym session can really drag on if you don't mind the clock. I wanted a simple, non-electronic timer that would be loud enough to hear with earbuds in. This is it. I bought this because it's completely mechanical, has no batteries to leak or go bad in my garage gym (which can range from 40 degrees F in the winter to over 90 in the summer), has good reviews, is inexpensive, and is very simple to operate. I really like the magnetic back on it because I can stick it to the side of my power cage and it will stay on there even when I'm racking a heavy bar. I have found that, to ensure accuracy for short time intervals, you need to turn the timer fully clockwise, then turn it back to where you actually want it. For example, to set it to 5 minutes, turn it to 60 minutes, then back to 5. I've checked it and it appears to be within 30 seconds or so of a digital stopwatch, which is fine for me. If you want anything more accurate, a digital timer would be a better choice but I doubt 30 seconds will make a different for most uses (including cooking). I've already had this thing fall to the ground once and it didn't break, so I'm going to call durability "good enough." For the price this is an excellent buy.

This timer is easy to set and is loud enough without screeching. However. It rings once for a short duration. It's nice that it doesn't keep ringing for minutes but longer than a couple of seconds would be nice.

This is so easy to work..Just turn the dial past the time you need and back to that time to set. It has a strong magnet on the back so I store it on the side of our refrigerator for easy to grab. I use this alot during busy baking seasons when both oven timers and the microwave timer are all in use! Especially useful this Christmas when I baked chex mix and needed a timer for 15 minute stirring. I love that it is SIMPLE, no modes, ect to figure out! I would definitely purchase again.

Great Timer. Loud enough to hear, it's durable and a nice size. No battery needed. The function is nice and value for the money.

This is awesome timer with a good magnetic hold. The alarm volume is great and sturdy!

Works great. The magnet feature is handy. Looks good too.
