Review on AcuRite Oversized Indoor Temperature Fold Out by Cameron Chandra

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Thank you for making this clock

Wall mounting will definitely require some work unless you decide to put it on a desk. But I wouldn't recommend it because it's a bit light and the weight of the cord can tear it off the table. The choice of wall space may be somewhat limited as the power cord is not very long (3m / 9m). Legs). The standard wall height is typically 9 feet, so the cord will only stretch just enough to reach the power source. So location directly above the outlet is almost always necessary, unless of course you have an extension cord. The LED display is definitely not as bright as the devilishly red eyes others swear by, but bright enough to be visible during the day. or when the light is on. The construction isn't very outstanding as it feels like cheap plastic and sometimes I have the impression that it's brittle and breaks easily. But since it's never touched again once installed, its cheap plastic doesn't seem to be a huge issue, provided it hasn't been damaged during handling. Although I'd be willing to spend a little more if they were aluminum or something more durable. Be careful when removing this watch from the box as it is attached to the box with two screws that are not visible (clear washers). ). These screws are only for attaching the watch to the box and have no other function as far as I know. I had no idea his box would be like this so I just ripped it out of the box. Luckily one of the screws broke and I realized I had to loosen the other one. There was some damage to the watch, but as the damage was on the case back and not visible it didn't matter much. I was just a little disappointed because it seemed like I had a damaged product. Setting the time and other information was a simple task. There are three buttons on the back of the watch: UP, NEXT, DOWN. Simply press the NEXT button several times to display the fields. Use UP or DOWN to increase or decrease values accordingly. Overall this watch is what I wanted the watch to look like but not exactly what I was looking for. If they had relative humidity readings, this would be the perfect watch for me. But since the look is more important to me than the functionality, I bought this watch anyway and I don't regret it. It's a 9 out of 10, but since the scale Amazon uses only goes to 5, I had to round 4.5 to the nearest 5.
