5.0 out of 5 stars Aesthetically pleasing
Great function and presentation.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent visual cue for multiple purposes.
Pro's:Hourglass arrived well packaged; an important feature for glass.Accuracy is very good, running at 30 minutes, 14 seconds -- Close enough for my purposes.It's attractive and well made. Glass does not appear to be fragile, with the thinnest spots being on the flat ends.It's quite stable on both ends and has scooted across my desk rather than tipped when gently bumped.You can stop the timer by placing it on its side. It will rock, but not roll around and doesn't need to be chocked.Sand appears to be fairly consistent in size and low in moisture content. Very little residue remains in the upper chamber when the sand runs out.The price is excellent at $9.99 with prime shipping.Uses:Whatever you desire of course. I use mine in the office for two different purposes.It's terrific for reminding me to stop and stretch every half hour or so when focused on computer work yet it doesn't break my concentration with an audible alarm.I try to conclude most office meetings within 30 minutes or so. Many people ask about the hourglass then tend to self-regulate as the sand flows. This provides a gentle way to bring meetings to a close, especially for people with disabilities or those who illustrate with stories. Some people will flip the hourglass themselves as a meeting begins which helps us both to be more respectful of each other's time.I plan to order more to help me keep track of the passing of time as I focus on home projects.Cons:None really. The attached tag was crunched and folded making it less suitable for gift giving. But at this price I'm not really concerned.
5.0 out of 5 stars Cute and a great desk ornament!
I love this object! I was looking for something cute and helpful and I found it. I use it to time me on tasks and when not in use, it looks great sitting on my desk! I definitely recommend it!
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect
Just what I wanted to time my music practice sessions. No batteries required = no fuss. Looks great when not in use.
4.0 out of 5 stars NOT 30 minutes precisely...
Very good timer overall.... but...My timer is about 25 minutes. Which is still fine for my purposes, I'm using it for pomodoro and 25 minutes is actually the traditional pomodoro duration.One other imperfection, a tiny bit of sand clings to the glass as the timer runs out. It actually makes some cool looking patterns and knocking the glass will cause it all to fall down and finish draining in seconds. But it doesn't look perfectly clean to have some sand stuck up on the edges of the glass. Easy to knock off, but the sand won't all drain entirely by itself.I got the white sand version and it looks very classy, the sand has a slight sparkle to it. I have noticed some extremely tiny black flecks in the white, but they are hardly visible and don't bother me. The glass is clear and sturdy, but it can get fingerprints on it from repeated use. I plan to build myself a wood frame for it, so I can keep the glass perfectly clean.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Hourglass!
I absolutely love this hourglass. It's surprisingly fairly accurate where it would give or take a few seconds to an actual hour. Time is one of my favorite topics to discuss and think about and this hourglass helps me in this. It also provides me a bit of entertainment just watching the sand slowly pour down the neck of the hourglass and no batteries required! It's very well constructed and a great product overall. I would absolutely recommend.
5.0 out of 5 stars Useful, fun to watch, and surprisingly accurate
I spend a lot of time at home sitting at the computer working and thought this would be a useful item to place on my desk next to me to remind me to take a short break every hour. I selected this one because the price was right and it looked like it would do the trick.The hourglass came well packed. Sitting on my desk it is surprisingly elegant.The first time I turned it over I timed it and it ran out at exactly 59:55 an amazing five seconds shy of an hour. I don't know if they're all this accurate, but I consider that to be outstanding for a sand timer.About the only complaint I have is the brown sand is not as easy to see as some other colors might be, but I was pretty sure that would be the case when I ordered it anyway, so I'm not knocking any stars off because of that, besides, over the long haul a warm earth tone (and this is a pleasant shade of brown) is going to be more easy to live with than some of the bright colors I've seen used in some of these hourglasses.If you're looking for a one hour sand timer it would be difficult to improve on this one, unless you need a cage around it for protection.
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and useful
Aesthetic hourglass. Nice size, beautiful shape and sand color. It runs smoothly for 60 minutos with +- 2 minutes which is pretty good. I totally recommend this product. Just be careful. It’s fragile. If it falls on itself it shatters.I wanted to buy another one but there no longer available. I hope they have it again.
Cute!
The "inspired" tag is a little tacky, so I threw it out.But the hourglass is nice. And it kept to 60min with +/- 5min.Really like it
Muy lindo y funcional
Es un lindo reloj decorativo y además funciona para temporalizar actividades con mis pequeñosBuena calidad
