Equity 14075 Black Analog Wind-Up Alarm Clock

This little wind-up clock is great! We bought it in case the power goes out so we never miss letting our chickens out on time and it has been very effective! We live in a very remote location and never know when or for how long the power might go out during any time of year, so this was a must have for us. It is very easy to operate, and the ringer is definitely loud enough to wake even the most sound sleeper. You just have to remember to wind and set it each night before bed. Worth every penny spent!

The media could not be loaded. *6 mo review is 1 star! I didn't expect a lot for the price but at least 1 yr minimum. Last couple of weeks it would jump time by 15-20 min when it wanted to over a 24hr period. Then it started stopping intermittently. Last night it would run for 10 min then stops. Internals are what I expected and even winding at this point only gives a few ticks. The binding is somewhere in the gear train. The fork and wheel hairspring and balance wheel move freely and are not bound up. Just the gears. No plans to lube or try to fix. Just FYI for others. For the price, no complaints. It took a few days to a week to settle in as far as time and me getting the adjustment good enough. I figured it needed that long anyway to exercise the spring. Lume is underwhelming, but I expected that. The tick is apparent and not obnoxious to me that is actually what I wanted. Winding was quite stiff at first but again after the first week or so it loosened up. Seniors may have issues if they do not have hand strength. It's not tuff but would be difficult for someone with arthritis. You could always make a winder extension so it's easier to grab and turn. Video attached to hear the alarm sound. Read more

Have just opened the box, set the time and wound up the clock. It's great! There's been ticking clocks in my family for generations. They soothe kids, adults, and animals. This one is larger but can be seen from across the room. The design is simple and will go with various décor. We'd like to see other models; when we run out of batteries and the power's off, the ticking clocks are reliable. Recommended. UPDATE: Am sorry to say that this wonderful ticking clock does not keep good time. I have to actually touch it before I'll hear ticking again and the 'second' hand moves. Am very sad. This was placed in a room we don't go in often, but a clock is needed. I'd like to think the clock sent us is an exception. Read more

So far so good but it's hard to wind. It's real tight. I have not used it enough to make a complete judgement. I bought it in case the power goes out. Read more

alarm sound can barely be heard! numbers are bug and readable.if you need an alarm do not get this ! For telling time it is Great! Read more

I like the size. It did say to not overwind. I’m still trying to figure out how much to wind for 24 hours. Easy to read and not a loud ticking. Read more

They stopped working - both of them, within days of each other - just 2 weeks after the return date expired. For the last week, neither one would take a full wind and now they stop running within an hour of winding/shaking. Everyone should understand - you get what you pay for; these didn't cost very much . . . Read more

This clock does not have Luminous hands or hour dots. There is no power source. It is a wind up clock. I knew this upon purchase, however, the parts that are supposed to illuminate should illuminate if placed in the sun for a few hours each day. My nightstand gets plenty of sun so the clock should have illuminated as advertised. The face is completely dark after being in the sun for hours. Note that the clock is advertised as having Luminous Hands and Hour dots. I called the company and was told that the clock “ is only meant to illuminate for a few minutes “. What good would that do if you wake up in the middle of the night and want to check the time? I was trying to avoid having to check my phone at night just to get the time. I do not recommend this clock if you need to check the time at night in the dark. The clock seems to keep accurate time, at least for the one day I used it. PLEASE READ ADDITIONAL INFO BELOW! Addition to review: There is a WARNING on the paperwork that came with the clock. This is the warning—— “This product can expose you to chemicals including acrylonitrile, 1,3-butadiene, and styrene, which are known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm”.
