I have a West Bend timer that lets you time 3 different times in hrs,
mins,&secs about 3x3" sq. and 1-3/8" high.

For some reason, even having it for a number of years, and keeping the
battery replaced, I don't have very good luck with it, pushing it once
instead of twice, etc., you know, the setting your digital watch routine.

And, of course, I don't seem to be in the room when it does go off.

I wouldn't mind having one that "hangs on my neck" except I'm afraid that
the numbers you have to much in might be too small; you know, like a PDA.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me that works well for them or
recommendations?

Thanks,
Dee

I use the count-down timer on my cell phone. Just set time, clip phone to
belt and the alarm can be heard wherever you are. I guess most phones have
the count-dowm facility - I know that Nokia does.

I use a mechanical timer that I carry with me. The one I use now is
a plastic Homer Laughlin Fiesta pitcher timer.

I had never heard of such a thing, but googling it I found this -- the
world's record holder of timers.

Here--I narrowed it down a little for you :-).
Mine is like this except it is yellow. You can put a
neck strap on the handle. (I have no association with this auction/seller)

I have the Polder one that hangs around your neck - the numbers aren't very
small for me (and I have horrid vision). It's really easy to use, and
having all the numbers available makes it quick work to type in your time.

I use that same one -- very useful indeed.
