Desk Clock, Retro Digital Flip Down Clock, Black | Ultra Quiet, Large Digits, Battery Powered Internal Gear Operated, Décor for Office, Bedroom, School, Hotel, and Café

This whimsical and timeless clock is an office favorite. I keep it in view to stay on time and on track with meetings. I also keep it within my computer camera's view during Zoom calls. Quality materials, the clock flips quietly, and the overall look draws positive comments. A retro and fun way to track the time without a watch or a phone dictating your every second. Follow directions when time changes take place and only move the rotating wheel in the right direction or you will damage the clock. If you're looking for something unique, a classic nod to the past and reliability in keeping time, you've hit the jackpot.

Wow! This device took a very long time to ship from China. With that said, it was packed well for the long and arduous trip. Although the box took some damage, the product was undamaged. Kudos to those who packed it. Also, the product is well designed and well manufactured. Extra thank you to the Chinese. The only area where I have a recommendation for is to avoid is placing the device at a bed side. The flip / click inherent in any flip type clock could be a small noise issue to some of those trying to sleep. I have it in my living room as planned and am very happy with it there. I may try it on my night stand just to see if the click that occurs every minute helps my sleep or detracts from my sleep. It is a personality difference. Some people sleep better with a slight background noise and some don't. We'll see. In the meantime, I may order another one for the office. The display is so clear that it works well with my elderly eyes. I definitely recommend this for Grandparents. Once again, my overall review is very positive.

UPDATE 10-4-17: I received a free replacement clock last week, and it works perfectly. It looks great on my desk and I've already received a few compliments on it. It's not loud at all which is great (I don't like the traditional ticking sound of clocks in a silent office), but if you're listening for it you can hear when the minute changes. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the customer service in receiving a free clock due to the first clock not working, and the product itself is great for the price. I will not update this review any further unless something goes wrong! UPDATE 9-20-17: I received a refund for the clock I originally received which did not work. The seller contacted me and offered to replace the item - I will provide another update once I receive the new clock. ORIGINAL REVIEW 8-24-17: Other reviews stated that numbers had fallen off in transport; while I did not have that issue, the clock was still broken when I received it. I unpacked the clock and inserted the D battery, and it made a "whirring" sound for a few seconds and stopped. It was silent, and the numbers never changed after 10+ minutes. I even went and bought a new pair of D batteries to make sure it wasn't the battery I had, but that made no difference. Returned and will purchase the nearly identical clock I found which costed ~$9 more. I would not recommend this clock.

I've only had this clock for a day. I use it at work where my office gets a lot of foot traffic. So far at least 50% of the people stopping by have asked about the clock. A lot of them mention the retro design. Time will tell how it slows down since it uses a D size battery but, I plan on changing it out every 2-3 months anyway. I love hearing the numbers flip. This may bug some users but I like it. I bought the chrome version and I'm thinking on getting the black one for the house. All in all a cool clock that will start conversations. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because it took longer to ship than Amazon said it would take. I would really like to see a USB version also. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Great product for my office, definitely a conversation piece.

I wanted to love this clock. The retro flip-down look is exactly the aesthetic I was going for on my desk, and the little mechanical click each minute felt like a nice, satisfying throwback at first. That novelty didn't last long, though. After a few hourss of normal use, a couple of the number flaps started sticking and wouldn't flip cleanly anymore. Now I've got digits that hang halfway or refuse to turn unless I physically tap the clock to jar them loose, which shouldn't be necessary for something whose entire function is flipping numbers. Once I looked closer, it became obvious why. The cards themselves feel cheap and flimsy, like thin plastic that just wasn't built to survive the repeated flipping the internal gear mechanism puts it through. For a clock that relies entirely on that motion to tell time, that's a serious design shortfall. The mechanism itself is quiet and the battery operation is simple, so I can't fault it on those fronts. But when the core numbers — the actual reason you buy a flip clock — start breaking down this early, it's hard to see past that. I was hoping for a fun, functional piece of retro décor that would hold up over time, but instead I've got a clock I have to babysit just to get an accurate read. Given how quickly it deteriorated, I can't recommend this at the price point.

Cool clock, but whatever powers it is noisy. Sounds like there is a small engine running in my apartment since I set the clock up. Has a great aesthetic, but hoping to either get used to the noise or have it smooth out over some use.

Nice clock planning to get another. When unpackaging it is fragile Cut the plastic off, do not pull. Be very careful when unpackaging the number tiles you do not want to disturb. You should only handle by the base and it should treat you well for a while. And make sure to use carbon zinc battery

Product value is not justifiable .

Produkt wie beschrieben, Lieferzeit war für China kurz, gerne wieder

Checking the time has never been more enjoyable. Highly recommend this one, I bought it after watching the video about them from Technology Connections.

As advertised
