There are a couple of cons for this clock but it's still the best I've ever had. It's simple and sensible functionally, looks nice and the batteries last a very long time (Over a year I think) even with the backlight on. The cons are that the backlight is not quite bright enough for me to read the clock easily at night and if I push the top button to really light it up it's too bright and hurts the eyes at night. The words on the back for the settings are hard to read in any light. I could probably fix that myself somehow. Read more
Clock has a nice look, and although another post said it was plastic, I believe the front bezel and sides are wood. Back is plastic. I wanted this for use in a rustic bathroom and it fits in great. I made a small shelf so that it sits at eye level and is very clear and readable. One thing to keep in mind, as you move the clock above or below eye level, the display washes out fairly quickly, especially when viewed from a close distance. The further you move away from it, the wider the usable field of view becomes. That could be an issue if it were placed on a tall dresser close to your bed. Contrary to a few other posts, I found setting time, date and temp functions straight forward - I never looked at the instructions until afterwards, and that may be the source of confusion for some that found function setting confusing. They appear to have been written in that wonky English translation dialect. The buttons on the back pretty much indicate what does what. Didn't bother to set alarm or test that feature as it is a bathroom clock. The light sensor works as it should - display in the dark is not overly bright but does act as a nightlight. Pressing the snooze button does increase display brightness significantly but the normal backlighting seems adequate, and can be disabled if desired. Like it, and hope it last a long time Read more
I like that this clock is made of real wood, not plastic. It's made of two different colors of wood, and it's nicer and more interesting looking than in the picture. The clock's features like time, date and temperature, are what you would expect, but it does have a feature where the clock face lights up a tiny bit so that you can see it when it's in the dark. You can turn this feature off if you want. The only thing I really didn't like was that the controls, which are on the back of the clock, are really hard to see because the entire back panel is a medium brown color, even the printing that identifies the controls. It would be nice if the text was in a different color so that it would be easier to see. Read more
I needed a clock in my therapy office that was easy to see from across the room, could sit on my desk, and was nice enough looking to add to my decor. I love the two tone wood of this little clock and the buttons are brown to blend in. It looks really beautiful. The un-lit display screen can adjust to the lighting in the room so that the contrast increases and makes it more readable. The temperature and date are nice features and the light up feature is bright. The only thing that might be an issue for people is that the light only comes on when you push the snooze button and turns off after a few seconds. Overall I'm super satisfied with this purchase!

This is advertised as having a calendar display, it does not. This appears to be only on available on the natural wood color model, which is priced exactly the same. This is not made clear at all to the consumer. VERY DECEPTIVE !!! Read more
Everything is great! The layout has all you need. Great if you don’t want to always wake up to your phone first thing in the morning. It’s simple. The backlight you can have on or off which is nice. I like mine off because I don’t like a lot of light at night. It’s for batteries only, no chords yay! Would be cool if they have like a solar recharge, or a plug in to charge like a phone. The alarm is your basic alarm clock sound. Would be cool to have some volume settings or alarm choices. The snooze button is a great size for both snooze and light. And the wood is a really nice addition for some warm tones to the room. Have had it for a couple months and it works great! Read more
Good construction, attractive. A few problems -- When you need to read the clock at night you press the button at the top. However that causes a very bright light to turn on behind the display. It's painfully bright for dark-adapted eyes. -- If you happen to drop the clock, or bump it a bit too hard, it resets completely. You have to re-input the date, time etc. I haven't had this problem with other alarm clocks. -- The alarm function is always in "snooze" mode. If you don't want it to ring again five minutes later you have to turn off the alarm function. -- The lettering on the back side which tells what the various buttons do is small and hard to read. Hope this helps. Read more
Very nice alarm clock. The sides are wood. Got it for my daughter to wake her up in the morning for school. The color matches her room perfectly. The dim is perfect as I like it to be very dark when sleeping at night, the less light the better but you can still see the time if needed. The one I have in my room is too bright for me and I was concerned this would be the same but it's not. Read more
