Review on ⏰ Wake Up with BALDR Bathroom LCD Waterproof Shower Clock, Black - Stylish and Durable! by Matthew Sutton

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Some cons that might matter to you.

I needed a small waterproof clock for the bathroom so I could keep track of the time while getting ready for work. It seemed to have the basic features I needed. However: 1) The watch screen has a very low contrast ratio. The background is medium gray, darker than the Revain photo, and the matrix numbers above are less visible due to the lack of contrast. It's gray on gray. 2) Color not as expected - I ordered what looks like sea foam green but the actual color is light green. It doesn't matter, but they probably Photoshopped the entire image to make the screen look better on Revain and that changed the border color. 3) There are timer settings on the front panel that you CANNOT turn off once enabled. On the left is the number 10, on the right is the number 1. If you accidentally touch or hit any of them, it will activate a countdown timer that you cannot cancel. This timer emits loud and repeating beeps when it turns off. The center setting labeled "Clear" only works after the beep sounds. You can't turn it off when you see the countdown timer. So you have to wait for the beeper to start beeping to turn it off, or you can remove the back and rip out one of the batteries to turn off the alarm and then set the current time again. So don't touch the face of this watch! 4) The suction cup lasted less than 24 hours on my bathroom mirror before the watch fell into the sink, which automatically activated the aforementioned unwanted timer, which kicked in. turns off after about 30 minutes. I had to wait a full 30 minutes for the annoying signals to be able to turn them off with "Clear". I hung it on the wall hoping it wouldn't fall off again (thus starting the timer). , and not to accidentally hit the front because I despise that cheating timer. Had I known about the unmanaged timer and low contrast screen beforehand, I would have bought a different clock for my bathroom. I'm still considering a return.
