Review on OCT17 Bamboo Wooden Alarm Clock - Smart LED Digital, Voice Control With Time/Temp Display & Adjustable Brightness! by Dayna Carlson

I am not new to block clocks. I first discovered these wooden-style clocks several years ago. I own one that has lasted well to this day.A friend of mine bought this black model. After seeing it at his home, I immediately fell in love with it and ordered one for myself.It looks as great in person as it does in the picture.The clock comes with a power cable and an adapter plug. Before you plug it in, insert 4 AAA batteries in the rear casing so that if you lose power, you don't lose time and functionality.Someone complained about the cheesy look of the back cover. While I agree with that assessment, I don't understand the problem. You aren't displaying the back of the clock.Setting this clock up is easy, but it takes a lot of fidgeting. I got more help reading the Revain product description than actually reading the instructions. It's pretty much a long press on the SET button and then using the up and down buttons to adjust time, year, date, etc. Be careful to leave the alarm functions blank so your clock doesn't start ringing -- that is unless it's your intent to set alarms.To switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit (the default is celsius), simply short tap the up button once.Here is something you really want to do.Have your clock alternate displays every few seconds. You can get time/humidity/temperature on one screen and then it switches to year and date. That's a lot of information the clock can provide in two screens instead of jamming it all into one.The clock also has three luminance settings. I left mine on high though you can have it automatically dim during certain hours of the day.There is also voice functionality, which quite frankly, I have no use for. I just want a handsome timepiece that is not only handsome but can be seen from across the room. This black wooden clock fits that bill perfectly.Highly, highly recommended! This should be your first choice for a quality wooden clock.
