Jayron Retirement Countdown Timer - 9,999 Days Digital, Loud Alarms, Magnet Adsorption Stopwatch, Battery Operated, Replaceable, for Event Reminder, Pregnancy, Wedding, Kitchen (Black)

I bought this countdown clock in July 2024 as a fun way to watch the time go by as I moved toward my retirement in June 2026. I can say, this has been the best $$ I've spent on Amazon for fun, for laughs, for friends, family, and co-workers teasing me about how much longer. Yes, it's ridiculous and I've enjoyed every second of it! (ha ha, get it? every *second*?) The fact that this counts down to the second is literally what makes this clock so ridiculous and so much fun. I did have a crisis on Christmas Eve when I looked up only to find the batteries had run down, but fortunately, I had some CR2035 batteries on hand. No way was I hitting a store for batteries on that day! Yes, I had to reprogram the clock, but it was easy enough. Batteries lasted about as long as the manufacturer said they would - ~1.5 years. I can't speak to the buzzer when the countdown ends, but that will happen in 178 days, 23 hours, 58 minutes and 50 seconds. (SO much fun getting to say that!) Size is nice, it's easily readable, and I keep it on a shelf over my monitor. It's made of inexpensive plastic exterior, and it has magnets if you are so inclined to mount it but I haven't. I love to grab it and show it during online meetings, as I'm often asked for the countdown.... or how I can estimate to such accuracy for the rare few who don't know about my countdown clock already. I do wish I had got a clock that also shows the actual time, but I have my computer, phone, and other things for that. And it is exactly what I wanted - a countdown clock to my well-deserved retirement! (178 days, 23 hours, 54 minutes, 37 seconds now.... ) :D

This is one of few counters available that can count the number of days to my retirement. Works great. Magnetic back is a plus.

Magnet is not super strong but the set-up is easy and is a good bargin.

Doesn’t say retirement on the black one we purchased, which Ilisnwhat we wanted as we used it for a Disney countdown! Have already repurchased as we have made more as gifts!

It’s too hard to set! Once you get, it said it works fine.

If it did, I would not need this timer, but it's compact and has a magnet in the back. My only reservation is that, in order to set the timer for six years in the future, when I will retire, I had to hold down the set button for several minutes. If the were a separate button for years, I would not have to use those precious minutes this way. Especially since letting go of the set button takes you back to zero. Maybe they don't expect anyone to think this far ahead. Still very handy.

i use this for my insomnia cause i don’t usually know how long i’m awake and it works

Easily track days, hours and minutes.
