(More customer reviews)I use this timer for my personal or group Zen meditation. It is adequate for the task. However, at just shy of $100 I might expect a bit more. Pluses: Nice sounds with good volume control, chosen ring sounds twice at end of last interval, attractive "enso" brush stroke circle that is less intrusive than a clock face, three programmable time setting buttons, carrying case, generally light weight and easy to take with you, seems sturdy. Minuses: Programming requires somewhat of a learning curve, sounds only at end of an interval, only one kind of sound permitted at a time. The latter two points mean, for example, that you can not begin with a get ready clapper sound such as zendos use, followed by a bell or ringing bowl to begin actual meditation. Minor point--on timer, to get rid of stopwatch numbers and have only the circle you need to press an extra button once the timer gets going rather than before the timing begins.

Salubrion Enso PearlThe Enso Pearl was designed to be the ultimate timer. Use it for your meditation, yoga, or reiki session or during therapy, teaching or traveling. Salubrion created an innovative method for conveying time using the Japanese Enso. Enso, which means circle in Japanese, symbolizes enlightenment, elegance, and the universe. Traditionally, the enso is painted with a single clockwise brushstroke. The Enso is gradually brushed on-screen as time progresses. You can glance at the Enso and see the relative amount of time that has elapsed, eliminating the distraction of focusing on the exact numerical time that remains. The Enso Pearl features Interval Timing in which you can create sequential timers that run one-after-the-other to compose an overall session. Set a custom sequence that mirrors your personal practice to guide you. The Enso Pearl also features a new Repeat Timing function for multiple repetitions of a single timer. You may also count-up like a stop watch with the Enso Pearl. The timers may all be set in hours, minutes, and seconds.At the end of each interval or timer, one of several available soothing chimes is played. Chimes are recorded from Tibetan and Japanese singing bowls as used in traditional meditation sessions. Using the latest audio technology, the Enso Pearl's reproduction of the singing bowl chimes is of the highest quality and virtually indistinguishable from the original. In addition to the Timer, Salubrion's clock can be used as an Alarm Clock, featuring the same soothing chimes. The clock can be placed flat on the floor in front of you for use during seated meditation, or propped up using the elegant hinged stand that folds out of the back of the clock to place on your night stand. Each Enso Pearl includes a convenient carrying case with an integrated cleaning cloth that both protects and polishes.
