Review on 💡 Sharper Image Light Up Electronic Word Clock: Stylish Black Finish with LED Display for Contemporary Home and Office Décor by Joshua Talbot

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Cheap and needs to be plugged into an outlet to work

We wanted one but after getting a replacement watch after the first one had a deformed and unsuitable dial we decided it was too cheaply made to work on us : - In both cases the clock face was crooked, the first time it didn't fit and there was a gap between the dial and the light box at the bottom - The clock must be constantly plugged into the mains in the socket to work. We mistook the USB cable for charging the watch, but it doesn't have a battery or charging function. The cable connects to the side of the watch, making the cable even more visible and unsightly. We may not think about how to hide the cord when we hang the clock on the wall. Any time the cable is disconnected from the clock for any reason, the settings will revert to the original settings (12 o'clock) and the clock will need to be reset to the current time, which takes about 2/3 minutes. After all, we should have known better to expect a high-end $25 product. We were able to fix the slight warping of the change clock face, but we couldn't get rid of the unsightly and protruding cord that would be permanently visible on the wall. The clock may be suitable for those who plan to put it somewhere instead of mounting it on the wall.
