Our verdict

A timer that shows time as a red disc getting smaller, a different thing from watching numbers count down.

Why we recommend it

Digital timers tell you what the number is. This one shows you how much is left, as a coloured area that shrinks, and for a lot of people that difference is the whole point: you can see the remaining time out of the corner of an eye without reading anything. It is silent while it runs, there is an optional beep at the end, and there is no screen, no app and no account. Sixty minutes maximum, one dial, a cover to protect it in a bag. It carries nearly ten thousand ratings at 4.5 stars, which for an object this simple says the design has been left alone long enough to get right.

Buying advice

Put it where you can see it without turning your head, which usually means beside the monitor, not behind the keyboard. If you already set timers on your phone and then pick the phone up and lose twenty minutes, this solves that specific problem and nothing else, and that is a fair description of why people keep buying it.

Frequently asked questions

Is it silent?
Yes while running. There is an optional tone when it reaches zero, which you can leave off.
Can it run longer than an hour?
No. Sixty minutes is the full dial. For longer work, people usually run it twice.
Does it need batteries?
It takes a battery, so there is nothing to plug in and nothing to charge.
