The advertised here "hourglass three minutes ..." runs exactly 2 (in words: two) minutes! Measurement error on my part absolutely excluded, repeated several times. I therefore an hourglass with Running time 3 minutes was looking for, it runs here, 2 minutes exactly 1 minute short (yes, dear producers, which is higher mathematics). The product number on the packaging complies with the here shown in the Amazon - that happens to avoid any confusion. Did you here perhaps saved the sand for the "remaining minute"? So dear Amazon and prefer manufacturers: please adjusts the product description.
To repeat for all schoolchildren: So who looks for an hourglass with exactly "2" minutes duration may immediately strike here. Those one with "3" minutes duration have want (like me), unfortunately, have to keep looking.
Oh one more thing: on the display above the packaging is "Hess toy for kids eyes shine," below is "decoration - not a toy". Yes what now - "toy" or not? 1 star so for at least varied coloring of the clock, otherwise it does not serve its purpose for me * * in absolute terms and is therefore a case for the return mail.
