The accuracy of this Kikkerland Extra Large timer is “right on”. I checked it against our atomic clock. It’s 8 and 5/8 ths inches square and protrudes about an inch. It will stick (magnetic) to any metal surface…like your refrigerator. We have all metal kitchen cabinets so we have loads of places to put it. So we bought 2…another one after we found how accurate, easy to read and always ready to use. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I purchased this for an academic contest, so students could see how much time remains during the contest. I chose not to use it due to its many shortcomings.
First, in order to get the clock to ring an alarm, you have to wind it past a certain time. This is not indicated in the instructions. So, for a five-minute class assignment, the timer never rings. Second, the ticking is quite distracting, audible from across a classroom. Third, the timer doesn’t accurately register the time. It’s hard to discern where exactly “ten minutes” is, and the bell doens’t ring until thirty or forty-five seconds after the time limit has expired (testing with a smaller digital timer.) The timer’s hand even goes beyond zero, to 59 minutes, before the bell rings.
I had an immediate need, so I paid the next day shipping (shipping from Amazon is almos always great for me,) so I paid more for shipping than for the item. Sadly, that indicates the quality of the timer. You get what you pay for. My loss, I guess.
If you’re cooking or have some other timing situation that doesn’t require a great deal of accuracy, this timer should be fine if you’re willing to handle it’s quirks. For any semblance of accurate timing, please avoid this item.

I thought this was such a great idea for my mom who’s vision is not what it used to be. (purchased one for my husband also) The problem with both was they didn’t ring when the time was up! A waste of money
