5.0 out of 5 stars I really like it, instructions are nuts
I bought this for my home studio where I wanted both a countdown clock for webcasts & presentations, and also a count up / stopwatch for when I record videos & podcasts. This does both of those very well, and I like that the digits are huge and there is no frame. (e.g. it's just a black rectangle that also lights up.)That said, the instructions are pretty horrible, which is fine, but there will be some experimenting to figure out how the thing works.A few helpful hints:* In the "CD Set" mode (countdown set), the first [d1:00] display is days, with a value from something like 359 days to 0 days. But when the [d0] is flashing, that's essentially setting the hundreds value of the days, then you hit the mode button again and the right hand [:00] flash, which is setting the tens/ones of days. In other words, [d0:00] is confusing because it's broken into two steps, like if you want 150 days, you don't type [1-5-0], rather, you type [1 - mode key - 5 - 0].The four direction arrow keys are NOT arrow keys. :) When the instructions say things like "press mode, then the up or down buttons", they don't mean the four buttons surrounding the mode button, rather, they mean the actual buttons off to the right labeled "up" and "down". So in my case, I spent a lot of time redoing things because I hit what I thought was the "up" button but was actually the alarm set button which took me into the alarm set mode.Also what is not obvious is that with the countdown timer set mode (CD SET button), the final screen of [--:00], the "--" part is just "ON" or "--", which just means it will save this countdown setting in memory, so in the future you can quickly restart the same countdown by pressing [CD SET - play]. the number portion (the right hand side) of that final screen is how many seconds (0-99) you want before the countdown timer starts flashing to alert you that it's almost done.In my case, I have a saved countdown timer of 1 hour. (If you want a 60 min timer, you have to enter it as one hour, zero minutes. It will not accept 0 hours 60 minutes.) So to use it, I just hit the "CD SET" button which takes me to the [d0:00] page, but since my timer is saved, I can then immediately hit the play/pause button and start it. So it's really a very simple two-button click, but it's pretty confusing to know that you can hit play on the first screen of the timer setting pages.Also for the countdown timer, since this clock only has 4 digits, if you have more than one hour remaining, it shows hours:minutes, but then once you're under an hour it flips to min:sec. This is fine really though it confused me at first since when I did a 90min clock I didn't see it moving (because it was showing mins not secs on the right side of the colon).Finally, I love that there are +/- buttons on the remote for the brightness, and I love that you can customize everything like whether the colon flashes and whether the speaker is enabled.Final note: no batteries are included, you need 2 AAAs for the remote and a CR 2032 for the clock. (That battery is just to save the time & settings if it's unplugged or a power failure. You don't need the battery if you keep the clock plugged in. You can even hit the power button on the remote to turn off the clock totally, but if it stayed plugged in then it will remember everything when you turn it back on.)Overall a great product, looks good, works fine once you figure out the nuances.
5.0 out of 5 stars Start on Time End on Time . Super Tool for great Meetings
The media could not be loaded. 45 years ago when I started in business and old-timer pulled me aside and said: "Son you want have a great meeting, and you want people to remember what you said in the meeting, Start on time and End on time. It doesn't matter how good the content is in the meeting if people are looking at their watches wonder if it ever going to endThat is great advice and many times we get caught up in the content. Great to have a subtle reminder of where we are in our presentations. This huge 6 inch numbers clock not only is a great clock. A fantastic calendar. A temperature window, it's also a countdown clock and a clock.I really enjoy this. I've been wanting a large clock for our sanctuary for a long time. The keep of the pastors on time. While this does have alarm I'm not brave enough to set it. However with the countdown feature does start blinking with five minutes left it is sure to get the attention of anyone in front of it. We have about 35 feet between our pulpit in the back wall where the courtesy monitor is for the pastor and this takes up about 20% of the monitor he can't miss it.I've got to use it this weekend. It is a great tool, a subtle reminder, and it looks nice on top of that.Please take a look at the video. And before you watch it yes I am trying to learn how to make really cool videos like the professionals do, and yes I realize I'm miles away from that. But watch it anyway give me your feedback on what you think I could do to do better. In any case information and it is really good information.Pros:6 inch numberssuperbrighttons of featurescountdown feature has extra reminder see videoinstruction book is done very well (generally not the case in most of these products we see online)remote is easy to use and very lightweightthere's no bevel this is all clockvery attractive piece of furnitureCons:alarm sound is not as loud as I'd likethere is a learning curve for the remote (I guess there's one on anything we learn though right?)I did not see an extended warranty available (at this price range I like to have some protection past the one year warranty)
4.0 out of 5 stars Great clock
It would have been nice with a control on the clock as well as the remote, however I bought it knowing that and it is perfect for what we needed.
5.0 out of 5 stars Finally -- I can read numbers without my glasses at night!
I wanted a lighted clock with numbers large enough to see during the night without having to put on my glasses ... the light can be dimmed to a level that it's not obnoxious and the numbers can still be read easily. The instructions for setting are a bit incomplete but I figured it out. The cost was on high side and batteries are not included which adds to the overall cost. Still, I was pleased enough to purchase two more for other rooms. In my bedroom, the clock is hanging ... in the other rooms I used an easel stand for each, as there wasn't sufficient wall space in the area I wished to display them. One went on a chest and another in a bookcase.
1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor quality
Just take a look at the picture. If this is the quality standard for components, you should expect the same for the rest.On top of it, the remote was supposed to be different. Check other people's images. I guess that this vendor started optimizing the cost.Remote is very important since you will use it frequently, and this is beyond anything I saw. The worst remote, then, by the way, arrived broken, but this is not the reason for one star.Also, attention to detail: there is a piece of plastic in the remote that is supposed to disconnect the battery, but there is no battery. You will not find this info in the product description, but only in the product info table no one checksThe power adaptor and the power cord are the cheapest you can find.Avoid this product. Price is absolutely unjustified
5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente calidad!
Buscaba una opción que fuera de buen tamaño. Cumplió con mi expectativa. Está de acuerdo a lo publicado.Gracias ✅️ 🙂
glad I purchased
arrived ahead of projected shipping, reasonable price, performs flawlessly.used as a shop clock, visable anywhere in 3000 sq/ft area.
DEBERIA TENER LA OPCION DE BATERIA
TIENE UN BUEN TAMAÑO Y SE VE BIEN, LO MALO ES QUE COMO ESTE MODELO NO TIENE LA OPCION DE BATERIA AL DESCONECTARSE PIERDE LA HORA
el articulo llego en tiempo pero no funciona el control remoto
no sirve el control remoto
Good value, arrived quickly
Very easy to read from a distance. Unlike other clocks that advertised 12/24 hour, this one actually has both. Easy to install, only con is that you need the remote to set time and other settings. Wish it had buttons somewhere on the clock as well.
Good Clock, terrible condition
We bought this digital clock for our office pre-covid. When we opened the box we were horrified to see the condition of the clock.1) The front of the clock had clue residue that covered the entire front. It looks like there might have been some sort of clear cover that was peeled off. We tried to remove and clean the front of the clock but whatever gunk is on the front of the clock is not coming off.2) If this wasn't enough, to our dismay when we looked at the back of the clock there is a sticker that says "no battery cover". Fortunately we were able to use the clock before the first covid lockdown as we simply plugged it in. It would however been nice to be able to utilize the battery option so not to show the wire going from the clock to the outlet.We've bought all types of products via Bolo and other online outlets and in all the years making online purchases, we have never been sold a product that was in such poor condition. Sometimes things happen, we understand that but its reprehensible to sell any item to a customer in the condition we experienced on our purchase.In ending on a positive: The actual clock is outstanding if you like over sized digital numbers. The numbers illuminate very brightly. Some might find it too bright but we had no issues with the brightness. The clock itself deserves a 5 star rating but the condition that it arrived to us is unacceptable and shocking. Anyone wanting a digital clock with oversized numbers then do consider this clock as its a good clock. With a bit of luck your clock will arrive to you in better shape than ours.
