Sharper Image LED Word Digital Clock, 7.75", Black Finish, Light-Up Desk & Wall Clock, Modern Time Display, Shelf or Wall Decor for Home Office, Living Room, Kitchen & Bedroom, Housewarming Gift

This clock gets so much attention on my mantle! People either immediately understand it, or it takes a second (pun intended) for them to get it. It only works in increments of 5 minutes. So, if you are looking for a clock that is less of a statement piece and more of a timepiece, then this is not for you! You can see the letters perfectly and the setup was super easy. I love the design and fun of this clock. It is accurate in time (in those increments of 5 minutes) and I do not see too much variance from the initial set up of time. Seems to be of great quality.

This clock is Extremely cool and definitely a conversation piece. Worth the purchase. It will brighten up a dark room.

A beautiful addition to my clock collection, a real conversation piece!

The clock is very unique. Very much a conversation piece. For those who want absolute up to the second time, this product is not for you. It only updates every five minutes. The clock does have some good features. There is a battery backup, so if the power should go out, the clock does not lose its setting. There is also a dimmer function that helps keep the clock from keeping someone awake at night. At the highest brightness setting, it's very bright. The reason I did not give it 5 stars was because, while the clock is powered by wall current via a USB cable (supplied) there was not a power brick included. Perhaps I over looked the fact that a "brick" was not included, but I don't think so. I had to go a buy a "brick". Not very expensive, but still an inconvenience. Overall. a delightful novelty. Easy to set up. Looks great on a desk or nightstand. The clock could also be hung on the wall, but the USB cord will show. Would make a great gift to someone who might not see very well.

So I was snorkling laughing gas in the dentist's chair as she drilled and fracked for the oil in a big molar. My dentist is a tricky one, she had this mounted on the ceiling. In my gassed state, I stared at it. And, stared some more. It was of course mesmerizing and as intended, it attracted my full attention sorting through all the possible word combinations that make it work. My anxious imagination would suggest that drilling went on for hours. But, the word clock told a different story. It didn't budge. It wasn't broken. Drill time turned out to be much quicker than the changing letter pattern on the clock. An impressive demonstration of the relative dimension of time. I complimented the dentist on the creative idea. I thought about it for a couple of days after the dentist and finally tried to find it. I searched a couple of terms that I thought would describe the device and hit the money on "Word Clock". It's a curious device. Bright enough to be legible in daylight or bright artificial light, it's quite illuminating at night. It's like a memory time stamp. I'm using it as a bathroom clock/night light. It's a typical "Sharper Image" gizmo. I like it. Hope the Xmas gift recipients enjoy it. Nice value for money. It's an item you won't forget.

Bought it for my wife’s birthday and she loves it

This clock looks great and is oddly functional! Ive been using it for over a month and I find myself really liking knowing the general time without knowing the exact time. Some cons: when you’re setting the clock you need to decide if you want it to be correct for 5 minutes before the time or 5 minutes after. This basically started a personal debate about if it was better to be early or late, but I decided It should change at exactly the time it says and then it will stay that way for 5 minutes afterwards. The other con is I find at an angle the lights don’t shine through each letter equally. Other than that I really love this clock and is a great price compared to some of the competitors I have seen (like a $1000 version in a store near me). Overall definitely recommend.

I really like the idea of the clock, even if I at first misread it as World Clock and wondered how this could possibly ... Anyway, it's certainly unique and in a way resets our relationship with time to a slower pace. It does not display every minute but goes in five-minute increments. This is good for a general idea, not when it has to be precise. Further, a quick glance is not enough as one literally has to read the time like a sentence. It doesn't do 24hr time. It's a novelty item that uses time as an approximation. The XL (a.k.a. Pro) version comes with a USB cable, but no power supply. A 5V 1A USB-A brick is sufficient. The included cable is fairly long (ca. 5 ft) and is the main power source for the clock. There are backup batteries (2x AA) but those are only to keep the time when the power goes out. In that case, the display is off. The XL (Pro) version has two differentiating characteristics. First, the display is dimmable. That is a manual setting of one of four brightness levels. Unfortunately, it does not adjust automatically to varying room brightness (i.e., day and night). The adjustment button is behind a (fairly hard to remove) battery door and therefore not easily accessible. Even at the lowest settings it’s fairly bright at night and not suitable for a bedroom (unless as a night light for kids.) The other is the red "five" that signals that a full hour is next. (It's only used for 5 minutes to the full hour, not five after.) Setting the clock is somewhat tedious as you have to cycle thru time in five-minute increments. (no jumping hours etc.) To be somewhat accurate, you’d have to wait for a time matching the 5 minute increments and have to wait up to 5 minutes to be in sync with your setting. There is also no function to observe DST, but at least you can go forward or backwards in time, in 5-minute increments. The white housing (and black front plate) are both minimalistic and elegant. It's meant to be hung on a wall, but in any case there will be a white USB cable to power the clock's display. Overall, it's a nice novelty clock for those who find standard analog or digital clocks boring, or those who can't read an analog clock and need it spelled out. It's not the most practical clock and I wish it had some network functionality to at least read the time and automatically adjust to DST. An adaptive dimming level would be great, too. The price seems reasonable, but not a bargain.

Me gustó mucho el diseño y los colores . Es más pequeño de lo que pensé pero se ve muy bien . Si se va la luz vas a tener que volver a configurarlo .

Good designing, very modern clock but there is only one small issue as there is no battery to backup so if the power is off and on again then you need to reset the clock again

The watch resets as soon as unplugged, it'd be great if it had a battery support option to keep it going.

I love this clock. I watch it for what time it displays next. Mesmerizing for sure. It’s so cool, love it. I only wish it had a stand and not a cord hanging down from it from wall mount.

Cute
