Frequently asked questions
Still have a question? Get in touch
How many minutes is 70 seconds?
70 seconds is 1 minute 10 seconds. The timer shows it as 01:10 when it is ready to start.
Can I pause the 70 second timer?
Yes. Pause holds the remaining time and Resume continues from there. Reset returns to the full 70 seconds, and asks first while the timer is running.
How do I set a timer for 70 seconds?
This online timer is already set: open the page and press Start timer, and the 70-second countdown begins at 01:10. Nothing to install, and no sign-up. It is the same countdown people look for as a 1 minute 10 second timer, 70 sec timer or 1:10 timer.
Is a 70 second timer the same as a 70 sec timer?
Yes. 70 seconds is 1 minute 10 seconds. You may also see it written as a 1:10 timer. Use this page for either; the countdown is identical.
Can I use the 70 second timer for kids?
Yes. Use Full screen for large numbers, choose a gentle alarm sound and press Test sound first. For younger children, the visual timer shows the time left as a colored disc that shrinks, so they can see the time passing.
Is this the same as the Google timer for 70 seconds?
No. Typing “timer 70 seconds” into Google shows Google’s own built-in timer. MinuteTimer is an independent website with no connection to Google. Use this page for a 70-second countdown with a choice of alarm sounds, a full screen view and a page you can bookmark.
Will the alarm work if I leave this tab?
Keep the tab open. Switching to another tab is usually fine, but browsers can slow down pages in the background and may block sound that was never enabled. For the best chance of hearing the alarm, keep this page open and visible and press Test sound first. Closing the tab stops the alarm.
