![]() ![]() A time cube, on the other hand, can use two AAA batteries, either disposable or rechargeable. And while the TickTime is much smaller and lighter than a Time Cube, its integrated battery means once the lithium-ion battery dies, you’ve got to throw it away. On the downside, the TickTime costs two to three times more. ![]() And on top of that, time cubes are oversized and feel like cheap junk. That means the TickTime has a wider range of uses and more flexibility for cooking and tracking activities. Time cubes perform all the same functions as the TickTime, but with one major disadvantage: they only have four functional sides for tracking time. The closest competitor in the personal-timer space is the TimeCube Plus and its clones. Toggl (which we officially recommend as the best time-tracking app on all platforms). Combined with its fast charging speed of around 3o minutes, and tiny size, the TickTime is the best personal timer for mobile usage on today's market.Ī smartphone or WearOS watch, on the other hand, can be configured with an army of applications, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. For for those concerned about carrying a charger around, the Micro-USB port inside of the TickTime allows you to charge using any smartphone charger. And running a timer app all day long would leave your phone with little life left at the end of the day. Had TickTime used a monochrome LCD screen and dispensed with the blue LEDs, its battery life could have been far greater.Ĭompared to a smartphone's battery life, though, it's not as bad. Even the cheapest of digital timers can get months of battery time, rather than days. But compared to other dedicated timers, like a TimeCube or digital kitchen timer, the battery life is poor. I managed to finish two eight-hour workdays and most of a third before the battery needed recharging. The illuminated LCD screen and blinking LED lights give it no more than three working days of battery life. In Normal mode, its usage time isn't great. In its suspended mode, the timer can get weeks of standby time. For those concerned about battery life, the TickTime does not automatically shut itself off, although it does drop into a low-power state when not in use after a period of inactivity. ![]()
