I have been using a timer to study in 45 minute units since graduate school. I usually use a timer on my computer, but wanted to unleash myself from that procrastination-inducing machine. I needed a timer that a) would easily repeat my 45 minutes so that I wouldn't be too lazy to set the timer b) wasn't so loud I would have a heart attack when it went off and c) didn't have a sound like my house was on fire.

This timer costs about twice as much as most of the kitchen timers out there. But it is worth it because of the features that make it different: It really is easy to use. It has a volume dial that goes from silent to loud (but not earsplitting). And the sound it makes is a sort of electronic chime. Other reviews say the chime is "eerie." It isn't eerie in a spooky or chilling way. It is just a sort of electronic sounding tone. It certainly isn't bothersome or off-putting, especially compared to the alternatives.

By the way, I went to the company website [...] before I bought the timer. There is a preview of the sound there, so have a listen.

I find it so handy I am going to use it for other things too so I can kick the procrastination habit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Peaceful Meditation, April 22, 2010

I was so happy to find a solution to my dilemma... I had tried several ways to close my private meditation sessions, and nothing felt right. Other timers were shrill and jarring and the polar opposite of peace, using no timer at all and allowing my practice to end naturally was causing me to constantly wonder what time it was. The Blue Moon Timer has a quiet tune that is adjustable and in no way objectionable, and could not be easier to use. I am very happy that I bought it, it suits my practice perfectly. I only have two small issues... I wonder about the tune itself. It's a little eerie, and I'm a little curious about the choice, where it came from. I don't mind it, it will work fine, my husband and I were just a little suprised by it. Also, the battery cover does not close after there are batteries in the chamber. But the cover isn't necessary for it to work.
All in all, I'm glad I bought it, because I think I got exactly what I paid for. It will suit me and my meditation practice just fine.

I love this and use it during meditation as a peaceful way to return from my meditative state. The alarm is very subtle and could be described as a calming tune. I like that it has volume control. Very reasonably priced.
