Sand Timer Sauna Wooden Hourglass Sand Timer 15 Minutes

This item was purchased for a Finnish sauna as we had no sense of time when in sauna bathing. Metal objects like a watch get extremely hot and will burn skin. They also don't last long in the hot humid environment. We had to find a way to establish how long we were staying in the sauna. This item fits the bill. It's made of wood, glass and sand and is rudimentary in how it works. You flip it over to restart the timer in 15 minute increments. The hourglass is filled with fine pink sand. It's big; over 11 inches long so you can't miss it. You do have to remember to check it every 15 minutes (and flip it) or the time gets confused. Shipping was fast and efficient. Quality is good; no bells and whistles.

If I had a choice I would give no stars for rating. The sand gets stuck making this timer useless. Very cheap quality. I would not recommend this product.

Gets stuck at times.

Purchased for our sauna. Within 6 weeks the sand was getting stuck and it did not work properly.

Titles explains it. The timer arrived in a timely manner (get it???)and perfect condition. When used in a functional sauna the sand got stuck. Tried it for several sessions and it worked less than half the time. I had to return it and will be trying to find another one with better reviews.

works great

Mine came with about 3 minutes of sand missing. On top of that, the sand would get stuck about half way through. The whole thing feels very cheap. Will be returning.
