Love it! 2 charging ports and a night light!

I bought this to replace the weather center I was using in my bedroom because the alarm was too hard to set, the numbers were bright and there weren't enough USB ports for my phone and warming my eye mask. I have Sjogren's disease so I have severe dry eyes/blurred vision. So when I wake up at night, I need to be able to easily see the clock, turn on the lights, and reach out to my devices, mostly by waving my arms. It's MUCH better than my expensive weather center. It's small and light. Face: The numbers are very large and clear. The dimmer on the numbers is perfect because I had to use a special foil on my weather center to dim it enough. I set it to around 50% brightness and it's bright enough to be seen well, but not enough to give off a glow to keep you awake. Night Light: A night light is just what I need to get rid of another thing on my bedside table. The light colors (shown) are very bright to illuminate your common space at night. Darker colors (pictured) like royal blue and red are only good for a small amount of light that isn't distracting. Easy to click or hold to turn off. Setup/Use: (Picture) Setup literally took 2 minutes to set the time, set the alarm, black out the face and hook things up. Large hour/minute and snooze buttons are very easy to use. The daylight saving time option/switch is great, and silencing the alarm without resetting the switch uses the alarm pause button, which is raised and rounded so it's easy to feel when you want to sleep without accidentally hitting other buttons to press / switches. Sound and USB ports: I set the alarm to "Medium" and it was loud enough without being obnoxious. Repeat - one press of the night light's big button for 9 minutes of sleep. The USB ports were sufficient to power the heated eye mask I use before bed as well as my Samsung S20 phone. These are Type A connectors, both with charging function. The charge is normal / medium. Not as slow as other built-in ones. The only downside is that the watch will be very light when you connect two things that you drag or move. Therefore, it may slip or drag if you shake your phone or other electronic device too much. But other than that I'm REALLY happy and was able to get rid of the night light and no longer have to plug my phone into an outlet on the floor! Highly recommended! Update 12/15/21: Woke up completely dead around the clock. The weird thing is that it still delivers power when I plug my camera into the (rear ports), but there's no dial, no button response, NOTHING. So I'm disappointed because this watch was perfect for my needs. I understand it's cheap but I expect it to last at least a year. Or more. I will update again as soon as I get a response from the seller/if the issue is resolved. But yes. It is dead.

  • Good product for the price
