Time Timer Junior Wristwatch - Light Grey

This clever wristwatch gives your child three features in one comfortable, easy-to-wear design:

• A portable Time Timer that makes time visible and easy to understand—for example, what 20 minutes really means
• A regular watch that displays time in both analogue and digital formats
• Vibrate or audible alert at the end of the countdown

Children really benefit from learning to tell the time and manage their own day—whether it’s catching the bus, waiting for guests, or knowing how long there is until dinner.

But what really makes this watch special is that it’s also a Time Timer.

The Time Timer has a special clock face, originally developed by an American mother who found it tricky to explain what “20 minutes” or “45 minutes” really mean on a regular clock, where the hands count up rather than down. 

On a Time Timer, the numbers count down instead. So right after 12, it shows “55”, then “50”, then “45”, and so on. It’s a bit hard to explain, but it’s incredibly intuitive once you see it for yourself. 

The main idea is this: 

The timer counts down while moving in the same direction as a regular clock—only the numbers count down instead of up. 

It’s actually very logical. If you want to set, say, 25 minutes on a Time Timer—so your child knows there are 25 minutes left in the evening before it’s time to pack lunches and brush teeth—here’s how it works: 

• Set the red disc to cover 25 minutes. Now the clock face is white from “12 o’clock” to where you’d normally see “35 minutes”—because from “35” back to “12” is 25 minutes. 
• This is where it gets really clever: the numbers on the Time Timer are reversed. So instead of showing “35” when you’ve set the timer to 25 minutes, it quite logically shows “25”. And it counts down from “25” instead of up from “35”. 
• So in practice, you simply set the Time Timer to “25” when you want to keep track of 25 minutes. After 5 minutes have passed, the red section will show “20”, making it clear that only 20 minutes are left of the evening. 

Millions of parents, educators, and teachers worldwide love using Time Timer.
