Review on Keep Time In Silence: 12 Inch HITO Wall Clock With Smart Nightlight And Brightness Adjustability by Charles Ahmar

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Flawed design good for me

I'll start off by saying I've wanted a product like this for a long time, I just never thought anyone made them. I was very pleased to discover this, and it has fit my needs perfectly.The sad thing is they have some form of a design flaw, they flicker like mad, I've only had mine for a 35 days . and its the lighting is already starting to fail. Both lights flicker very frequently, and the white min hand has gone out a few times only to come back later.Several reviews have mentioned this, its too common to be one off, I believe it effects most if not all these. As someone very sensitive to light while trying to sleep I always covered my alarm clock, and I used my phone for an alarm. It made owning an alarm clock pointless, even at the dimmest setting this alarm clock could easily illuminate my room.It seems like something stupid, but truthfully after many nights of covering it up I found I sleep easier without it shining directly in my face. So I bought this clock, I set it to the dimmest setting, I can read it easily (when its fully working), and while it produces some light it isn't noticeable in the room (looking at the walls/ceilings).It does get very bright if you wish to set it on max, but not my need. I love it for it's purpose, extremely satisfied, however functionally its not working well. After 35 days I believe the light is failing, and given that extremely short period of time I have very little confidence in functional life.It will still work as a clock in the day time, but I will not be able to read it at night, putting me back in the same spot I was in. Was slightly worse is the fact I paid close to $25 for this, and upon coming back its marked to $10. Not that much money honestly, but I could have got the original clock, and a back up for when this one fails . while still spending less.I've had it for 35 days, its been flickering about a week now, given how many others mention this, along with the illumination completely failing I simply can not recommend this as a light up clock. If it was better made/more reliable I would have gladly given it 10/10 however there is a serious problem with these, and it appears they don't care enough to address the issue, and will happily sell faulty units to customers hoping it lasts past the return period.1/10 stars

Pros
  • The clock has an easy-to-remove face that makes changing the battery simple
Cons
  • The clock's temperature display is inaccurate and inconsistent
