Product Description

This hang-around-the-neck timer weighs in at a mere 1?? ounces, so you'll barely know the timer is there until a soft staccato of beeps issues from its trim, slender body to signal the alarm. It counts up as well as down, measuring as much as 9 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds, and when you're not using it as a timer, it functions as a clock. Reliable and comfortable, this is a timer you'll use more than most others.

Amazon.com Review
Hanging from a 36-inch strap, this timer provides clock, timer, and stopwatch capabilities, allowing you to keep track of culinary delights along with your 6-minute mile. It measures up to 10 hours, and you'll use it to time a Thanksgiving turkey while letting the 30-second alarm remind you when it's time to return to the kitchen. Magnetically mountable, freestanding, or hanging from the 36-inch-long chord, this timer can be placed wherever necessary. When not in use as a timer, it may be used as a convenient 24-hour clock or a stopwatch that tracks up to 23:59:59. --Madeleine Miller

A timer you can hear
I wanted a timer I could hear over the TV or if I left the room. I thought the lanyard would make this possible. But the ring is loud enough that I haven't needed to use the lanyard yet. I just hang the timer on the refrigerator with it's magnet. A very handy, easy to use, easy to hear timer. I may order another.

Very handy!
I think this is so handy when grilling and cooking! Works great and a good value!

How to set the clock
Not perfect, but close -- I am on my second one (it's not a good toddler toy), and if anything happens to this one, I'll get another. Only two minor complaints:

1 - Sometimes I bump it while wearing it, and without being aware of it, stop the timer.

2. It took me forever to figure out how to set the clock -- hoping to save you some time, here's the trick: Hold the clock button down until the display disappears, then enter the time. The secret is that you must enter six digits: hhmmss. Which means that anyplace you have a single digit, you must use a leading zero. 00 is ok for the seconds, but you must enter them.

Other than that, you don't need directions -- it's all pretty staightforward.
