How do timers look on different devices?

As an e-commerce store owner, I'm concerned about how our time-limited discount offers will appear across various devices and screen sizes. I want to ensure that our promotional timers look professional, are easily readable, and create a sense of urgency regardless of whether a customer is using a smartphone, tablet, desktop, or laptop. How can I design responsive countdown timers that maintain visual consistency and effectiveness across different device types and screen resolutions?
