Polder TMR-530-95 Digital Rotary Timer, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It seems like a good idea...a timer you set by rotating the ring around the outside with a lanyard to keep it handy while you are working. But this timer is a frustration and a big PITA!!
First the "pros": It keeps time and the alert is sufficiently loud. The lanyard is a good idea. The magnets on the back seem strong enough to hold it to most surfaces.
However, the design is poor. First of all, this thing is big, 3" in diameter and 1.5 inches thick.
Second, it is shaped like a flying saucer and is slippery even when dry. If your hands are a bit wet or greasy it is nearly impossible to hold. If you have small or ham hands you would do well to look elsewhere.
Third, it is difficult to hold in one hand and rotate the ring to set the time, and just as clumsy to use two-handed.
Fourth, the ridges in the ring are shallow and not of much use.
Lastly, and the worst "feature," is the location of the buttons. The stop/start button is just to the right of the loop on the top, and the reset is on the left of the loop. When you pick it up you almost invariably hit the start/stop button...which starts it counting up unless the countdown timer is running. In that case you will stop the timing.
The lanyard connects to the top of the timer, but when you wear it around your neck the timer is upside down. When you pick it up to check the remaining time and turn it around...and there's those d@%# buttons again!
I wanted to like this timer, and the Polder name was a selling point, but they really blew it on this one.

Invisible Clock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really like the features available on this clock. It is a bit smaller than I anticipated. With small size comes small parts. The buttons are fine, if a little close together. The hardest part to work is the little switch on the side. When you think you have it in place, it actually isn't. The off setting is in the middle, so if you don't have it set just right, it will beep or vibrate at you. I keep in my desk drawer at work, so it sometimes goes off and startles me.

The Invisible Clock-II has a silent or an audible alert, with a switch on the side so you can choose which alert you want. So you can keep time discreetly. It's small so you can easily wear it on your waist with the garment clip, or keep it in your pocket. It can be set in just about any way imaginable so you can time just about anything. It has 5 Powerful timing features, plus a stopwatch, adjustable vibration intensity and beep volume, a quick release belt clip, illuminated display, auto button lock to protect timing events in process, and uses one AAA battery which lasts for about a year (has backup to save settings while changing battery), and auto-daylight savings time adjustment.Uses: General Reminders; Meditation - the vibration can be set to low, medium or high - on low, it is perfect for meditation as it is very quiet; ADD/ADHD; Special Needs Kids - it's often used for kids who need help remembering certain things such as paying attention in class; Wake Up Without Waking Your Partner - place it under your pillow and it is very effective for this; Medication Reminder - use the 12 alarms for medication reminders; Psychotherapy or Meetings - use the Meeting Timer to see clients without ever needing to look at the clock; Doctors and Chiropractors - Use the Custom Timer; Talks and Presentations - use the Timer or the Custom Timer for timing talks; Learning New Habits - use the Invisible Clock for learning new habits by setting the Timer on repeat to any time; Game Timer - some games need an exact timer that can be set in second increments - the Invisible Clock has this feature; Travel Alarm - with its light weight, lighted display and choice of silent or audible wake up, its great for this use; Time Management Tool - for anyone who needs help managing their time.

Now & Zen E-tone Digital- Bamboo Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I don't know what waked up the two grouchy reviewers here, but I woke up to a nice calming bell. I'm clearer when I start the day gently.
I have had three Zen Alarm Clocks for at least a dozen years, and I can not imagine waking up another way, except when I am naturally done sleeping.
I have the travel clock, too. The clocks eventually wear out, yes. They're not Rolexes. But I've gotten years of use before that happened. I have had no problems. Maybe I'll even get their doorbell and phone ringer -- it would probably bring another level of serenity.
That calming bell changes the whole atmosphere. This product is lovely. I've given a couple as gifts over the years, and my friends have been happy too.
I know no better way to start my days in such a kind, gentle way!

CDN TM15t Design TM15 Extra Large Big Digit Timer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was looking for a good basic timer and this fit the bill. It allows you to count up or down and shows time elapsed after the alarm rings (to see how much I screwed up the cookies).
One feature I was looking for but wasn't apparent from the descriptions or photos is how the back is set up. I use the magnet, not the easel and attach it to the stove hood. With some timers the magnet is on the easel and the easel comes out from the back of the timer. Then when you push the timer buttons, it rocks back and forth on the easel, and usually falls into the soup. However, this timer has has the easel flush with the back of the timer. When attached to the hood, it does not rock back and forth when pushing the buttons. Big plus in my book. Sometimes it is just the small details.

Salubrion Enso Clock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this excellent clock back in March of 2008, and have been using it daily since then.
In my opinion, the key strengths of this device revolve around flexibility and looks. It allows you to choose from a number of wonderful, rich sounding chimes and other sounds (they actually sound better than the real bells & chimes built in to other meditation timers I own). You can set the tones to repeat "forever" after your meditation period has ended, or sound only twice at varying volumes. Good stuff.
You can also create very complex "programs" for yourself (Chime after x minutes, then y minutes, then z minutes, etc. etc.)
I also find the clock very attractive, but that's just personal opinion.
The flexibility that this clock gives you comes at a price, however - setting (time, alarm time, etc.) the thing is a bit complex. The first thing I normally do with any new electronic gizmo I purchase is throw away the instructions - it's an ego thing, I admit it. Anyway, 3 months later, I'm guarding the instructions to this baby with my life. While setting up a basic timer is easy as cake, doing more interesting programs will take a bit of trial and error.
The backlight button on the clock has also been hit or miss for me. I have to touch it just right or the backlight won't come on. I'd also like the ability turn the backlight on and keep it on. In it's current incarnation it only stays on for 5-ish seconds.
Finally, it would be nice if the buttons had some sort of tactile "nubs" attached (this comment is stolen shamlelessly from another reviewer). At 4AM in the morning, I need all the help I can get making sure I have actually activated the timer.
So, this clock isn't perfect, but it is the best one I've found so far, and it is fantastic for travel - packs really easily.

The Enso Clock began with a ground-up conceptualization and design for a new timer and clock to be used for meditation and yoga. Salubrion focused on creating an innovative method for conveying time to the user, resulting in the use of the Japanese Enso.EnsoEnso, which means circle in Japanese, symbolizes enlightenment, elegance, and the universe. Traditionally, the enso is painted with a single clockwise brushstroke, beginning and ending at the bottom. The central display feature of Salubrion's new clock is the Enso that surrounds the screen and is gradually brushed on-screen as the timer progresses. This way, the user 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.Interval TimingThe Salubrion Enso Clock allows for Interval Timing in which the user can set sequential timers that run one-after-the-other to compose an overall session. At the end of each interval or timer, one of several available soothing chimes is played. The Enso Clock's chimes are recorded from Tibetan and Japanese singing bowls as used in traditional meditation sessions. Using the latest audio technology, the Enso Clock's reproduction of the singing bowl chimes is very high quality and virtually indistinguishable from original.AlarmIn addition to countdown timing, Salubrion's clock can be used as an alarm clock, featuring the same soothing chimes.The beautiful satin champagne finish along the sides of the clock is complemented by a black rubber coating on the backside of the clock. 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. Each Enso Clock also includes a convenient carrying case with an integrated cleaning cloth that both protects and polishes.

Now & Zen Tibetan Digital Zen Alarm Clock (Walnut finish) E-Tone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought one of these a couple years ago. It quit working after a few months. I mailed it back (at my expense) for a replacement. The replacement quit working after about 8 months. I mailed it back for another replacement. This third clock quit working after about 14 months, two months past the warranty. The company refused to replace it, and was quite rude about it. I can't believe they can get away with this level of unreliability for a $140 dollar alarm clock. The previous listing for these clocks had dozens of complaints about the clocks breaking. For some reason, Amazon allowed the company to simply reset their entries for these clocks, and start over with all the fake reviews seen here. (If it wasn't obvious from reading the reviews that they're fake, check out the way each new "reviewer" goes through and recommends every other positive review, and dis-recommends every negative one. Or, witness the fact that none of the positive reviewers have ever reviewed any other product. Amazon, will you get on this? This company is a scam.)

Salubrion Enso Pearl Review

Average Reviews:

(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.
