Works as expected, has good sound and battery, works as advertised.

I had my eye on this for a while to help with focus sessions at work. I had seen the complaints about flashing and also the sellers’ response to a few questions saying that they’d have a new model with no flashing after a certain date. I waited until that date passed before I ordered, but unfortunately my model still came flashing (which, the other reviews were right, is super distracting especially as the two separate parts/displays are flashing at different speeds.... defeated the focus purpose I bought it for). However!!!! I emailed customer service and not only did they respond SO quickly, they also did in fact immediately and without hesitation send the new model. When I first got it today I was nervous it was accidentally another flashing model because the model number on the back was the same as the first one I received, but nope - it is an updated one and I LOVE it now that it is no longer obnoxiously flashing. The noise level options are great and I appreciate that it has the pre-set times as well as allowing for you to set other amounts of time and a timer function if placed upside down. The only thing that could potentially make this better is if the time display stayed centered regardless of which side you lay it on (on some numbers it’s sideways). Hardly matters in the slightest though, it’s not like you’re having to bend over backwards to see it or anything lol maybe takes an extra .002 seconds of processing time so not really an issue. I also do think the battery seems to wear down slightly quicker than anticipated BUT these things are truly hardly problems at all - overall, I’d recommend this product in a heartbeat. Especially for anyone wanting to utilize the pomodoro method!! Seriously perfect for that and genuinely can’t beat their customer service. Thank youuu!

UPDATE: Still 4 stars. Been using for a couple of weeks constantly. I just use the "52" and 5 minute timers.The flashing and volume and countdown screens are just what I wanted and I'm pleased with them both. The "hold" feature is essentially worthless because unless you have the hand-eye coordination of a safe cracker, when you try to restart the time, you will "roll" it to another timer and just start over. I was thinking the battery is fine because it shuts off pretty quickly when not in use. However, just now, I'm getting the low battery warning, and I just charged it the other day. You can for sure get three work days of use between charges.INITIAL REVIEW:Using this product is pretty simple. It is well built and feels like a quality product. However, I've taken one star off because the timer numbers are, in my opinion, upside down. One side of the timer has the color countdown clock. This is great! However, when the device is pointed where you can read the countdown clock, the big numbers are upside down. That means that I use the "52" all the time instead of 25. It is only an aesthetic thing now. Also, undocumented as far as I can tell, is that when the timer goes off, it flashes and beeps a few times then shuts up instead of beeping forever until you shut it off! Then after a period of time that I've not measured, the device turns off automatically thus saving the battery. OH, it also only took less than an hour to charge when I first got it. It blinks when it is charging, and stops blinking when it is charged.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Easy to use, and size.

Ah man - this was so close, but yet so far!Okay so the positives:Compact Design: The small and compact design of the TickTime Pomodoro Timer perfectly suits my needs. Its unobtrusive presence on my workspace allows for easy integration without taking up much space.Magnetic Flip Focus Timer: The innovative magnetic flip focus timer is a standout feature. It provides a simple and intuitive way to select different intervals, adding a level of customization that enhances my productivity.So - why so far? The Deal Breaker:Pause and Resume Functionality: Unfortunately, the absence of a pause and resume function has proven to be a significant drawback. In the midst of a busy work environment with numerous potential distractions, the inability to pause the timer and later resume where I left off is a deal breaker. Instead, I'm forced to start a new timer, disrupting the flow of my Pomodoro sessions. This limitation significantly impacts the adaptability of the TickTime Pomodoro Timer to real-world work scenarios where interruptions are inevitable.In summary, while the TickTime Pomodoro Timer offers a compact design and an innovative magnetic flip focus timer, the absence of a pause and resume function may hinder its effectiveness, especially for users with dynamic work environments requiring flexibility in managing their Pomodoro sessions.

I really like using this little timer. Once I got down how it functions, it's much easier to use than setting a timer on my watch whenever I make tea, time stretches, etc. The interface is easy to use once you understand a couple things:To turn it on, just press either of the buttons. You can also manually turn it off by sitting it with the screen facing up and holding both buttons for a moment. It will also turn off on its own after a moment with the screen facing up.Once it's on, set it on any side to start the timer. Whichever number is facing up is what it will count down from. Set it with the screen facing up to stop the timer.To set a custom timer, turn it on, set it with the screen facing up, and press the M+ and S+ buttons to set the minutes and seconds you desire.To set the volume, set it on any number-side down and press the V+ or V- button for whichever loudness you want.To count up, turn it on and set it with the screen facing down. Stand it with the screen facing up to stop the counting.Alarms and the counting-up cannot be resumed, only started again.I hope this helps! I really like this little device.
