KT8 Digital Kitchen Dual Timer & Stopwatch, Backlight, Ultra Loud Alarm, Mute Function, Quick-Set Buttons, Hang Hole, Magnetic for Cooking and Classroom with Lanyard

I have tried so many ways to time my soccer games and this is by far the easiest and best. The timer on my phone is ok, but it turns off and other apps take over right when I need it. This timer counts up or down, is easy to set and reset without pushing 50 buttons and even has a second timer visible at the same time for a sub timer or whatever you want. It hangs on a lanyard upside down so is easy to read at a glance when you grab it. I have only owned it for a couple of weeks so cannot address durability, but it seems to be built well.

I had this for a day and so far it's worth it. I'll be using it for tasks at work, tracking study times and breaks, workouts, and cooking at home. I got it because I find smart phone timers to be unreliable and unwieldy. Too often do the smartphones simply quit timing. Or they simply don't sound an alarm because of some glitch. Even if they don't glitch I still need to fiddle with unlocking the phone and then switching back to the timer app. Smartphones are too heavy and delicate for workouts, too distracting for studying, and I dont want to get grease or risk liquid on my phone while cooking. This device is so much more convenient and probably much more reliable. All of the descriptions I could find (even on competing sites) don't say clearly what battery it uses, only implying it uses AAA batteries but it really uses CR2032. It is very light weight and feels like it is fairly durable. I haven't sat on it like the other reviewer but I imagine if I have something in my pocket pressing on the screen, then i sit on it, I could see it cracking the screen. So I guess don't sit on it. The colored plastic feels like it is slightly rubbery so the grip feels nice. It comes with a removable clip but I don't see many use cases. When the clip is attached it gets in the way of the magnets to stick to metal things. Without the clip the magnets are strong enough to stick to all the metal surfaces I tried, except stainless (magnets do not stick to stainless). The alarm is loud enough I easily hear it two rooms over in a quiet home. It might be sufficient in a professional kitchen or other loud environment but I don't work in a kitchen anymore so I can't really try it out. It'd be cool if there was a low or high volume setting but there is only on or mute. The screen flashes its light when time is up so it has visual alerts as well. When time is up it starts counting up. There is no way to stop the alarm without stopping the count up. so far it's a great product and the only things I wish it had is water resistance and some sort of alarm volume control besides on or mute.

This little timer is exactly what I wanted. I like the fact that you don't have to put in the times by 1 minute at a time and it has 5 or 10 minute increments. It's plenty loud for me to hear from the other room and also small enough that if I want to stick it in my pocket I can and take it with me. It comes with a lanyard but I won't really use that. The lanyard clip keeps the magnets from working well but we took the clip off and the magnets work great now. There were some other reviews about the magnets not being strong enough, but they actually are as long as the clip is out of the way. If you want to use the clip and the magnets you're probably going to have to add some magnet power. For me it works perfectly though and I got rid of my stupid timer that I have to set one minute at a time! And the color matches my kitchen which is an added bonus.

I bought this as I was frustrated with the standard design of stopwatches. #1 issue is I can't find one with a backlight. This item is being promoted as a stopwatch with a backlight because that's what some of us use it for! I don't use it as a kitchen timer. As a stopwatch this is pretty straightforward functioning. I only wish the window was larger and the screen was more stark in contrast. I don't understand why the soft tone. The START/STOP and the RESET below that is easy to ref on the top and to the right. Use the start to begin (TWICE, once to turn on then once to start the clock) then the same button to stop. Then hit reset in order to zero out the numbers so you're clear. The remote turns off on its own. The left/bottom button is the backlight. The backlight functions for 60 second intervals. The remote is a smooth/comfortable grip. I haven't dropped it though the item is lightweight. Is this perfect? Of course not. But it does the job and the stopwatches out there are too inadequate for anyone whose exercise might be after sunset or before sunrise, depending on your schedule or the heat of the day.

This is a great kitchen timer. Works great. Easy to read. Good size to throw in a travel bag. Has two separate timer functions so you can run two timers at once. Count up or down, and the quick-set buttons make it very easy to set and use. One addition I would like to see is a magnet on the back (it does not have one) so that you could put it on a vertical surface where its easy to see. I don't like counter clutter! Still, …. a great product.

Finally, a kitchen timer that gets it right. The UX is simple and efficient, the alarm is loud enough to hear from upstairs (even through vacuum-sealed packaging), and unlike an iPhone or other timers, it keeps alerting until It’s addressed. Exactly what a timer should do! Points for improvement would be having 2 more alarms without making the unit bigger maybe a toggle switch to change between timer 1/2 and 3/4.

Got it for work so I can keep track of sweeps. Sleep is when you walk the store make sure there's no spills in the store got in trouble for using my cell phone so this is good way to use a timer what I really like about the timer is that it turns off after 10 minutes not being used

I really like the lanyard feature I like the volume Of the alarm as it’s very easy to hear in a loud kitchen. And having to timer is really nice. If you need a timer that you carry with you, I highly recommend this one.
