I had some timer caps from the pharmacy I buy my pills, but they discontinued them. Because I work nights, and my schedule varies, I needed an option that told me how much time had passed, not the kind that set an alarm (and I see everywhere).
These work fine for that. I am disappointed they won't securely fit the top of my orange pill bottle. I have to use the bottles that come with them. That's going to be a problem when I travel, but I guess I'll deal with it when I get there. For now, my pills are kept with a "time since last opened" timer on them, in the white bottles, so I know how long it's been since I took them. Good enough
I was on the fence at first because I didn't want to put the money out for it - as there were cheaper caps, similar caps etc... Glad I did! -I'd say do it if you're thinking of it!
A real life saver for people like me who are so rushed in life and A.D.D. - I can't remember if I just took the pill bottle out and was GOING to take it.... or if I already DID take it.When you're dealing with meds that could be dangerous if you took too many - it's a great great tool.
I opted for the "senior" cap - as in it doesn't lock. I thought it would be best as my hands sometimes won't allow me to grip or open things.. but next time I'll go for locking. Simply because it doesn't have such a tight "click" or seal. There have been 2 times that the lid either wasn't put on right or it came off - I'm not sure which.. but the lid was off and therefore the timer was blank and '' (expensive ) pills were spilled out into my purse.
I'll get the child lock next time for sure.

This company is amazing and the timer caps are too.
I accidentally dropped mine in the parking lot and backed out, over the bottle with my pills inside. A friend ordered and sent me a replacekmentext but with a DIFFERENT brand. .but I had already ordered a replacement of THIS BRAND. Now que warpy,trippy fast forward music to today .......the display on the OTHER brand is faded and dead....but this timer looks brand new
I recommend this product for anyone who has to take meds at certain times of the day or meds that can only be taken a certain number of times a day. I recommend it for either young or older individuals. Young people can forget too, especially with how hectic schedules & either work, school, or life in general can get. I like it bcuz it's simple to use. Doesn't require an app like some timer caps do. This product comes highly recommended. I wish I would've thought of it.
Very useful to know just when you last opened the pill bottle if you have meds with different times and frequencies. Be careful to look at the timing before you loosen the cap once it's on, because it stops timing immediately and reverts to a blank screen until you screw it on again. Then it starts over immediately. Don't yet know how long these will last, but they do the job of sorting out the schedule for meds. They do NOT have any alarm--best use your mobile device clock or a kitchen timer for that.
What a lifesaver
What a lifesaver!! Now that I take medication throughout the day,
I was forgetting too often the last time I had taken a pill,
Until the timer caps. I carry 2 containers with me and it,s working perfectly.
The strain of wondering and worrying is no longer there.
We need more products like these dealing with life's everyday problems.

I used it for a while now and it’s absolutely worth it. I don’t have to worry whether i ate my pills or not. It starts counting for the time I close the lid, there’s a 10 seconds wait then starts counting. Perfect for those who take many frequent pills per day.
This product is great for the absent minded. Did I just take my pill?
This little guy will tell you if you opened the bottle, making your day a little bit easier. The LR41 battery it came with went kaput after 6 weeks of use. LR41 batteries are cheap on Amazon, not at the drugstore, so stock up. Also, make sure you have a tiny screwdriver kit and some strong eyeglasses to unscrew the tiny screws. Your other option is to take it to your local jeweler or watch repair shop to have them change it with what should be a fresher battery.
I needed a solution on how to keep track of my medication since they are a strong narcotic. My only wish is that I wish you could use the lid on an actual prescription bottle. I'm afraid to have a bottle of my meds in my purse without the prescription label.
I love this thing. I have rheumatoid arthritis and it is so handy to be able to keep track of when I last took medicine, instead of having to write it down each time. I took a star off because only one lid worked. Luckily I only needed one, but be aware if you need both.
Works as advertised and has a replaceable battery, which is great. Be advised however, if you over-tighten the cap it will pop and open up again, so this may not be suitable for bottles that are transported regularly, as they could get jostled enough to pop open. Also does not fit onto other bottle caps (I tested on bottles from CVS), so you will need to use the bottles that came with the product. Would definitely recommend with those caveats.
