I wanted a clean and simple clock (time only) that would be readable when I looked over on a shelf at the opposite side of my bed on my sailboat. While sleeping on my boat in preparation for a watch, it is nice not to have to put on glasses and find my phone or watch to see the time. I like that it is red so it doesn't destroy my night vision and it alters brightness automatically from day to night. I'm super picky, and anything that doesn't pass muster gets jettisoned off the boat. This one has earned a place on our boat. Very happy with my purchase. Read more
I bought this about eight years ago and it has worked perfectly...until now. One of the lines has burned out and so it's time to get a new one. It is easy to read, day or night. Easy to program. Keeps very good time until the batteries are about to die, then it slows down a bit but not by enough to make one late. It's also light enough to attach to the wall via Velcro strips, making it easy to rehang after changing the batteries. Read more
We traded in our old cable DVR for a new, higher tech one and, to our utter dismay, the box doesn't have a clock on it. Just displays the channel number! We depend on that clock to know when to change the channel and what time it is when we are watching TV. Yes, we have phones, clocks, etc. but THAT clock was the one we always looked at. After two days of trying to get used to it, I was done. I came on here looking for the simplest clock in the world. I didn't want any bells and whistles, just the time. I found this one and, although it's kind of expensive for being just a plastic battery operated clock (but it does have an alarm on it so there is that), it was the simple, easy to read clock I had been looking for. Our most watched TV is in the family room which is super casual. This clock is fine above the TV. It takes 4 AA batteries and works. It keeps time accurately so far and is easy to see in the dark or dim lighting as well as natural daytime light. It dims itself at night which I would prefer it NOT do but the assumption is that it is to keep from disturbing people who actually sleep at night. The pics I posted are with just the TV on and I was across the room zooming in. There is a small stand in the back with two pull out plastic legs but we don't use it. We Alien taped it to the wall. We no longer are going crazy looking at the DVR box that fails us by only displaying the channel. This works fine so far. I will update if it starts losing time or killing batteries real fast. I have not tested the alarm feature but will next time we have to put batteries in it. It's not worth $27.00 really but it DID save our sanity so I am not complaining too loudly. Read more
I bought this for use in my RV, after the very inexpensive clock from Ikea revealed it's ugly side -- that constant ticking every second at night. The RV is a closed environment, so any small repetitive noise at night can be irritating. Plus, I could not see the dial at night -- this one has red LEDs. Great! You might think, at fiorst, that the LEDs are a bit dim. But at night, they are just right. Seems like a very large housing for such short numerals, but it fits well on a wall in my RV, makes zero noise, and provides instant readability in the dark. I did NOT get paid for this Review. I did NOT receive a free product as a bribe. Read more
The clock has a non-selectable function that dims the clock between 8am and 8pm . If there is the slightest amount of sunlight coming into my garage it is not possible to see the numbers unless you are right in front of the clock. I would rather be able to turn this dimming function off even if it meant replacing the batteries more often. Will probably just go back to having a standard analog clock. If you are using this clock in a dark room then it works great. Blue light numbers are easier on the eyes in my opinion. Review update: Operator error on my part regarding the dimming function. I failed to notice that when I set the time initially it was on a.m. instead of p.m. dimming function is working correctly now and auto dimming when it is night time and not daytime. Read more
It's a very large display so I can read it without my glasses. It does not put out a lot of light so it does not bother me at night. Perfect clock in my opinion. Read more
Simple and straightforward. Plenty bright that it is still visible at night but not too bright that it gets annoying. Battery operated. Read more
I own two of these great clocks. They are well-made. Brightness is easily adjustable. Batteries last for more than a year. We have them mounted high on a wall facing our bed. We keep the bedroom dark. The clock is easily readable without disturbing our sleep. Read more
