The admission ticket says it can't exceed 4 in x 4 in and it must be silent (no alarm function).
I have been looking all around, but haven't found anything. I guess I could use a wrist watch, but it would be nice to have something that stands up and that I wouldn't have to squint to see.
Thanks for your help everyone! Best of luck!

My husband managed to find me a men's wristwatch at Target with a fairly large face (about 1.5 inches in diameter). Black background and large yellow numbers/dials. The contrast in colors makes it easy to see at a quick glance. $25. Hope that helps? Good luck!
I have not taken the CA bar....but I bought a digital egg timer (honeywell i think) and disabled the speaker by unscrewing the back and cutting the wire.
I'm surprised they don't have clocks in the room. When I took the bar in Florida they had giant clocks everywhere. The only problem was it took a bit of refocusing to read it after looking at the test for 1+ hours.
Caution: The rules state that you are allowed "silent analog watches, timers and clocks measuring 4" x 4" inches or smaller".
Also: "They cannot have a digital display, must be absolutely silent and are not to exceed the dimension of 4" by 4"."
(emphasis mine)
I don't know if they really enforce this, so I just bought an analog watch to be safe.
Okay guys, I settled on this one
Buy a watch but don't take it off the display stand. It will stand up on its own. I bought one at Rite Aid when I took the exam.
Great idea! Thanks for the advice everyone.
