Retro Hourglass

This is a lovely piece of decor for my dining room area. It’s a working 30 minute timer but mine is not accurate. I like it for the way it looks in my room which is why I’m giving it a 5 star review. It’s a good size and is durable.

Looks nice and appears to be well made. I don’t know how accurate it is but I use it to time my guitar practice sessions.

I love this hourglass timer! It's beautiful, looks great on my desk, and as someone that struggles with ADHD, it really helps me stay focused when I need to get an important task done. Especially when I don't want to do it. If I can actually sit down and get myself to flip it, something about it keeps me from doing anything else but the task at hand until the sand runs out. And by the time it does, I'm so engrossed in what I'm doing that I don't even realize it's time for a break until well over 30 minutes has passed.

Beautiful turquoise color. Just as pictured. I use this at my desk to make sure I am conscientious of how long I’m working on one project. It helps with the flow of my day and it’s really pretty. The only issue is it is about a minute off, so if you need an exact timer, this isn’t quite there.

The yellow hour glass is perfect size to place on shelf

Accurate enough. After buying this I learned that even calibrated 30 minute units are only accurate to within a minute or a half or so depending on static electricity, humidity, movement, etc. Mine timed at 31:02. That’s closed enough for me.

THIS SAND TIMER IS VERY HIGH QUALITY AND DEADLY ACCURATE!! THE DARKER COLOR OF THE WOOD OFFSETS THE PRETTY ALIVE GREEN SAND!! THE GLASS CRYSTAL IS VERY CLEAR AND HIGH END!! ABSOLUTELY WORTH EVERY PENNY!! I BOUGHT THREE!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! 5+++++

This is my 2nd one and this one works as it should. I have a 60 minute version and that one sticks occasionally. There is no sticking of the sand grains in this one and it runs smoothly to the end of the time. It also looks fantastic on a shelf if you want a purely decorative item.
