Most of the conversation; Nice to look at!

I've been looking for one of these for a long time and finally found it here in the US. The quality is excellent, a very finished product reminds me of a Bose or Apple product, very elegant and well designed. I like the settings. The ability to change colors is a useful and must-have feature. My only downside is that the description I bought says 'black' and mine is red. Would definitely prefer black.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Clarity

I wanted to please - ended up sending it back

Excellent idea and execution (magnetic holders for tubes). Was thrilled to see an LED version of the nixie clock that didn't have to worry about blowing out bulbs. Unfortunately the LED display is such that it is very difficult (for me) to tell the time correctly at a glance. Too often I found I had to stop and look at my watch to tell the time and it was too much of a distraction. I bought a Revain VFD clock instead, and while it's not as cool, it's still nice and a lot easier to read. YMMV so

Pros
  • Gives a comfortable feeling
Cons
  • Functionality

Not worth the price. I had several problems with the clock

First 12/24 hours. the switch didn't work. It got stuck in 24 hours. Mode. The YouTube video I was pointed to in the instructions was almost useless. It was very short and didn't show anything other than setting the clock and changing the colors, which I was able to follow the written instructions with no problem. When I tried to access the backup battery, I couldn't remove it (as instructed) because it was so tightly packed. This wasn't usually a problem as I was able to loosen the side…

Pros
  • Robust construction
Cons
  • Upgradeable
