Sensory Wrist Timer for Kids, Teachers, Students, Simple Reminder Watch with Silent Alarm Clock Wristband, Classroom Countdown (Green)

I bought this sensory wrist timer for my 7-year-old who sometimes struggles to stay on task, and it has been such a helpful tool. The design is simple, lightweight, and comfortable to wear all day, so my child doesn’t mind having it on. The silent alarm feature is perfect—rather than making a loud sound that could distract the whole classroom, it vibrates gently as a reminder. This helps my child transition between activities without relying on me or their teacher to prompt them. I also appreciate how easy it is to set and reset the timer, even for younger kids. It has made a big difference in teaching responsibility and independence, and it’s especially great for children who benefit from structure or sensory-friendly reminders.

This wristband timer is exactly what I've always been looking for! 48 years ago, when I started my first school-teaching job, there was a boy in my 4th grade class who wouldn't do even one simple math problem or write even one word on his paper. I said, "Kenny, let's see if you can do one math problem in two minutes." I set a timer. He quickly did the problem. We switched to TWO problems in two minutes, etc., etc. Soon he was getting his work done. (I also had other desirable and undesirable consequences going, which all helped.) I decided to use a timer on myself for all of the things that were hard to get going on. It helped me tremendously. I've tried many different small timers on ropes to wear around my neck, but that is quite annoying. I've tried the digital watches that have stopwatch features, but I always wanted just a simple count-down timer on a wristband. This is it! It's finally been invented, and interestingly, by a school teacher. It's so unobtrusive and simple to operate. Several other reviews said the wristband was too small. One reviewer said that she was small-boned with a very thin wrist, but that the band barely fit on its last slot. Not so for my timer. Mine has tons of extra slots left. Update: one week later: The timer just quit working! I noticed that it didn't vibrate after about 5 minutes, then checked it, and nothing showed digitally. I kept trying---all black. I'll return it.

Edit: Nevermind. After going through the washer, it does indeed still work but it came back Different. I didn't notice until I left it by my bedside and it woke me up, but now it will take input and count down, vibrating as expected, but in the absence of my input, it will cycle through 1 to 60 and apparently choose at random a time to count down from, vibrating the alarm and going through the normal process before starting it's own countdown again. I'm going to let it run the battery down and retire it to backup for my other one (green band instead of black, so hopefully I'll notice it before I turn on the washer...) It works great as described, and is pretty tough - I accidentally put all of it (electronics and band) through the clothes washer on high heat setting; the display was a little fuzzy coming out, but I let it sit for 24 hours in our Dry Caddy (hearing aids size), and it's back to keeping a charge and working like it's supposed to. Given the price, that's impressive.

Ease of use was great, fits my adult wrist (typically kid watches fit my wrist), and was comfortable without irritating my nickle sensitive skin. My only issue was I was under the impression that I could make the timer go off in increments such as setting a timer every 10 minutes but I must have misread that. So I wasn’t able to use it in that way, but I do plan on keeping it anyways because it is comfy and hope it still helps with time blindness.

It broke within the first 24 hours of wearing it. The strap completely tore apart, which makes it unusable. I also wish it told the time along with the timer capability. Overall, had it not broken, it would have been really useful for what we needed.

* edit* (I bought this on July 1st of 2024, today is May 10th of 2025) I still use this everyday, I wake up and put it on my wrist and start my day. To me it is a game changer and I would not be without it!!! I absolutely love this!!!!!!!! I purchased this for a discreet timer while I was house cleaning (think Dana K White), it works absolutely WONDERFUL for that. It also turned out to be much more useful then just for cleaning!! Cooking, kid time outs, naps and a work break/lunch timer are just a few ways I use it. It is so discreet and convenient as a bracelet that I use it for almost everything that needs timing. I wake up in the morning and put this on along with my bracelets and wear it all day until I go to sleep, after just one month this now joins my coffee pot as a "must have at all times" item!!! I will purchase this immediately again if it ever stops working!!! Please make a waterproof version!!!

I'm an adult with a 6-inch wrist. There are 8 holes on the band. I wear it on the 6th hole, with the 8'th being the tightest it will go. I wear this to help keep me from playing games, reading, etc. for too long. The simplicity of this timer is what sets it apart from anything else I saw on the internet. I like everything about it. I like that the countdown isn't visible because I think it would be distracting and nerve wracking to see that; plus, it's a nicer look without that showing. I love that it's chargeable, so I don't have to buy batteries. It has a nice sleek look. It's comfortable. I'm glad I made the switch from the complicated watch with multiple alarms and counters to this easy-to-use timer.

I like the timer for the gym but after buying two these I will not buy more. The band breaks and cannot be repaired. Happened twice - smh! Poorly crafted.

Fine, only for school .....
