About the Rings Timer
Concentric color rings — one for each minute on the clock — drain clockwise from twelve as time passes. The outermost ring goes first, then the next inner ring, until the bullseye empties at zero. A drained ring fades to a faint trail in the same color so you can see at a glance how many minutes have gone and how many remain.
How It Works
For a 25-minute timer you'll see 25 rings; for a 10-minute timer, ten. Each ring covers a full minute. As that minute elapses, the ring sweeps clockwise from the top — like a circular clock hand — until the ring is fully drained and the next inner ring takes over.
