Large LCD Digital Countdown Clock - Up to 999 Days - Countdown and Retirement Timer, Count Down Clock for Retirement, Big Display Large Digital Timer for All Events (Black)

Bought it for a friend who is counting down the days until her husband is back home! She LOVES it!! Makes the days seem to move a little quicker

I have this countdown clock sitting on my desk, counting down to a trip to Greece. The instructions are fairly simple, but you have to find an online countdown clock to set the initial time; it doesn't have a way of calculating the time between today's date and the date you're counting down to. The timer and clock are separate from each other, so if you want the timer to match with the current time, you have to start the timer at a time that makes them match up. Doing so took me 2 or 3 tries. Once you set it, you can forget it.The back of the clock has magnets, so it can stick to something metal. It also comes with a stand, so you can set it up on a horizontal surface. However, there's no built in way to hold onto the stand if you're using the magnets. Being a small piece of plastic, the stand would be easily misplaced if not in use.Despite these downsides, I gave this 5 stars because the value I'm finding compared to the price is worth it to me. It helps to temper, yet also build, my anticipation in productive ways. After the Greece trip, I'm definitely going to use this to count down to the next big trip or event I'm excited for.

I used this timer to countdown to the election and then to the Inauguration. Unfortunately, the countdown only goes up to 999 days, so I can't do one for 2028. I wish I could just enter a date and time and have the clock do the math, but you have to do it yourself. It also would be nice if it was backlit. It's hard to read around dusk.

A friend of mine is retiring soon and I decided to get her a countdown timer. I first looked at the big neon colored LED lighted ones which are quite expensive if they count days to 3 figures or more. I was certainly looking for something which would count more than 99 days. When I came across this I decided (max 999 days) it had all the features I needed for a one time use AND I could hand it over mysteriously and discretely rather than in a huge box. It worked out really well. She LOVED it!! I actually set the countdown myself before handing it over. Sat there trying to figure out how many days, hours, minutes until the end of Jan, subtracted 7 (no one works till midnight on their last day of work ever!) and got Alexa to validate my math. I didn’t even use the instructions, it’s that intuitive. I also set the current time in the left hand corner - equally easy. This thing is simple, small (6x2 inches?). a fun gift for anyone who is counting down to an event whether a pregnancy, kids or adults birthday, Xmas or retirement etcStick it on a desk (comes with a little stand) or on your fridge (it has magnets on its back).Comes already “on” by virtue of 2 included watch type CR2032 batteries. (I thought this a bit odd considering most such devices have a pull tab these days which needs to be removed to start the batteries functioning).Great value and a fun gift!I hope you found this information helpful 👇

Display is dark and hard to read. Easy setup

I finally purchased this little clock after searching in vain for a larger affordable countdown clock for my office to count the days and hours down to the opening of the polls in my state for our nation's presidential election of 2024. I was looking for something large and bright that I could hang on the wall, but for some reason most large countdown clocks are close to $100 and up even though large digital time-telling clocks are much cheaper! (Note to sellers: a larger, affordable countdown clock is an item that I think would be very popular.) In the meantime, I chose this little clock and it is a great substitute. I put it on my desk in a prominent place and people do notice it. It is an attractive neutral style and appears to keep good time. It comes in several colors; I chose black to fit in with my formal office. The only drawback is that this clock is quite difficult to set if you want to set it accurately to the second using something like a phone to sync it. Setting it to the second took me quite a few tries and even then it's still off by a second or two due to my reaction time delay in pushing the start button when I saw the time change on my phone. Oh well, who cares... it looks quite nice and it's a great reminder that the Election of 2024 is only days and hours away!

First Impressions of Countables Large LCD Digital Countdown Clock and Timer - Up to 999 Days - Countdown Timer, Retirement Clock, Count Down Clock for Retirement, Large Digital Timer for Events, Big Display Timer(Black)⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐4.5-stars✅ Easy to Use✅ LCD Design✅ Built-in Magnets✅ Includes desk foot stand✅ Well build, sturdy✅ Has a regular clock display✅ Inexpensive, affordably priced❌ Magnets could be stronger (minus 1/2 star)I ordered this timer as a gift for a friend who is retiring in a few years. I thought it would be fun for him to set the timer and watch the days tick away. This device has a regular clock along with the larger prominent countdown timer – which makes this more useful because I can tell time with it as well. The timer has a maximum setting of 2 years and 9 months. The magnetic back struggled to stay attached to my refrigerator. I got around this by attaching larger round neodymium magnets in between the clock and the magnetic surface. Although in some instances, LCD screens are more difficult to see especially in dim lighting; they are much more power efficient and thus the batteries last a long time.If over long term use, my feelings change about this product, I will update this review. Thanks for reading and hope this helps.
