Review on ⏰ SHARP Digital Alarm Clock with High-Speed USB Charging Port - Easy-to-Read Display, Fast Phone & Tablet Charging, Simple Operation, Black – Green LEDs by Amy Lucero

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Bad, unfortunate location of the USB port.

alarm seems like a smart choice for the money. And it's very easy to use. It has a backup battery (like my previous watch) which is a plus. Now my previous watch also had a radio. However, since I haven't really used that option, why pay to have it replaced. The only thing I wanted from my old watch in my new one was a USB port so I could charge my iPhone. This is a big issue with the watch that I didn't really consider, although I probably should have when I bought it. You can see my old alarm clock had the USB port on the back, but this one is on the front. I didn't really think the location of the USB port would be an issue for me at the time of purchase, so I ordered it. Now in hindsight I realize how impractical the front USB port is for me. With my old watch, I left the USB cable plugged in at the back. The cable was quickly accessible and could be hidden behind it. However, if the cable is connected to a new alarm clock, it completely destroys its appearance. Without the cable plugged in at the front, the USB port acts like a small speaker. Along with the appearance issue, since the cable is on the front, I can't hide it. So now I have to leave the USB cable loose on my bedside table until I need to charge my phone. It just means I have to take the cable, connect it to my alarm clock and then to my phone. For visual reasons, I have to disconnect the USB cable not only from the phone but also from the watch. I have to do this reverse step to try to hide the USB cable behind the bedside clock. I will keep this watch because it does what I need it to do. However, I would never buy this watch, or any watch that has a USB port on the front. That way I don't have future sales for this type of alarm just because someone picked the wrong USB port location. My overall grade should be 1 (one), at least for my personal situation, it definitely doesn't deserve more.

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
