Westminster Magnetic Sand Timer

I bought this magnetic timer because I was playing with one that our secretary had on her desk at work and I dropped it and it broke, it looks and functions the same as hers so I replaced the one I broke

Glass is thin, and there are some contaminants in the mixture that are non-magnetic. You get what you paid for.

This is awesome. My daughter loves and it's fun to see how the filings fall each time. I would advice only using it supervised with small children.

I am a teacher and I use this in my classes. Students use it and I use it in my classes when teaching about magnets

Magnet not strong enough filings just end up in a domed pile

The media could not be loaded. As an adult with a crazy life style I am working on ways to calm down life a little and try to relax to focus on becoming more mindful. Well I bought this thinking it would look cute on my new office set or meditation area, and I cant keep it away from me. I find myself flipping it to just watch the magnetic sand and it stops all the crazy wondering thoughts and for that moment I am mesmerized from this amazing product. I can't believe ive gone so long without owning one. I want more. And I hope others experience the joy that this simple little object brings me.

It wasn't great quality. Bought it as a replacement for one my daughter broke, and it wasn't as sturdy. The glass is very thin.

Love it. Very entertaining. Fascinating to watch.
