Review on WoneNice Retro Digital Flip Down Clock: Unique Internal Gear Operation in Sleek Black Design for a Classic Feel by Shannon Saunders

Update: After about a year one of the cards on the minutes side fell off spontaneously and in just six months five cards fell off. Small protrusions appear to be coming off the cards, these are the black dots in the attached photos. During its entire life the clock has mostly sat undisturbed on the cupboard, I have touched it several times to set it for daylight saving time and drift. I'm not sure what to expect once I've bought this, but so far I'm impressed. The case is plastic, but the silver faces on the front and top are metal plates, and the hemispherical base is all metal. The number cards are made of plastic with a textured finish, giving them a premium look and feel. The only aesthetic issue I have with this watch is that the gray plastic of the main body is visible from the front due to the bulge. holding the battery. The battery could easily fit into the hollow base. As for the noise, I read the reviews and was prepared for this thing to be loud. I put the battery in and thought it was dead because it made no sound. Then I put my ear right to it and heard it. I agree that the noise isn't reassuring, but it's very quiet. It's like someone picking up a handful of 6 inch plastic straws and throwing them on the carpet in the next room with the door closed. Here are some louder things: - Refrigerators - Computer fans - Neighbors - Fine rain - Birds - Nose breathing Great clocks.
