Review on πŸ•˜ Melissa & Doug Turn & Tell Wooden Clock: Educational Toy with Reversible Time Cards by Tim Surridge

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Shows the time incorrectly, so children can't really learn.

The whole point of this watch is to teach kids how to read analog watches, but apparently the people who created them need a lesson themselves. The time is misaligned, the cards are showing the time incorrectly and when the hands are moving they are not showing the correct time. For example, if you look at the 2:50 time chart, it shows the blue (minute hand) at 10, 50 minutes, but the red (hour hand) at 2. Anyone who has ever used an analog clock knows the be ready, more precisely how 1:50 than 2:50. The same problem with the clock. If you try to place your hand accurately after 2 and get it closer to 3 in 2:45, the digital display will read 3:45. I had to buy a cheap watch to use with my kid. Absolutely useless.

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • There are bugs
