[–] INTPenis 12y ago ↗ And it sounds just like my nexus 7 timer.Google - it's the little things. [–] techaddict009 12y ago ↗ Said it true. Same sound in my Nexus 4.
[–] cliveowen 12y ago ↗ Real cool, it's actually useful when you query it like this: "timer 16:40". Way to go Google.
[–] dallagi 12y ago ↗ It does not work for me :( I see nothing special [–] techaddict009 12y ago ↗ Are you using it on google.com or some other domain ?I think it works only on .com and in chrome. [–] stack0v3erfl0w 12y ago ↗ It works on Firefox (using the Nightly build 25.0a1). [–] millerm 12y ago ↗ No worky worky on mobile Safari either.

[–] GravityWell 12y ago ↗ Nice, timers are always handy. Some things I noticed:* Shortcuts: hr min sec* Supports countdown or clock: timer 10 sec, timer 14:00* Clock mode supports am/pm and 24hr format: timer 2pm* Set a bookmark for a 10 second timer: https://www.google.com/search?q=timer+10+sec* Timer stops beeping after about 30 seconds* If you try to close or navigate away from the page while a timer is active, you will be warned that timer will be stopped
[–] stroebjo 12y ago ↗ Google may redirect you to an other local than english in wich this function doesn't seem to work. With this link you enforce the english local: https://www.google.com/search?q=timer+10+seconds&hl=en
[–] terabytest 12y ago ↗ It kind of screws with my timezone. It's 5:50pm and if I query for "timer 6pm" it'll set up a timer for 2 hours and 10 minutes instead of just 6 minutes. Does anyone experience this? Is there a way to set my timezone?
