OCT17 Wooden Alarm Clock, Wood Alarm Clock Smart LED Digital Clock for Bedroom/desks, Upgraded with Time Temperature, Adjustable Brightness and Voice Control, Humidity Displaying - Bamboo

I am not new to block clocks. I first discovered these wooden-style clocks several years ago. I own one that has lasted well to this day. A friend of mine bought this black model. After seeing it at his home, I immediately fell in love with it and ordered one for myself. It looks as great in person as it does in the picture. The clock comes with a power cable and an adapter plug. Before you plug it in, insert 4 AAA batteries in the rear casing so that if you lose power, you don't lose time and functionality. Someone complained about the cheesy look of the back cover. While I agree with that assessment, I don't understand the problem. You aren't displaying the back of the clock. Setting this clock up is easy, but it takes a lot of fidgeting. I got more help reading the Amazon product description than actually reading the instructions. It's pretty much a long press on the SET button and then using the up and down buttons to adjust time, year, date, etc. Be careful to leave the alarm functions blank so your clock doesn't start ringing -- that is unless it's your intent to set alarms. To switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit (the default is celsius), simply short tap the up button once. Here is something you really want to do.... Have your clock alternate displays every few seconds. You can get time/humidity/temperature on one screen and then it switches to year and date. That's a lot of information the clock can provide in two screens instead of jamming it all into one. The clock also has three luminance settings. I left mine on high though you can have it automatically dim during certain hours of the day. There is also voice functionality, which quite frankly, I have no use for. I just want a handsome timepiece that is not only handsome but can be seen from across the room. This black wooden clock fits that bill perfectly. Highly, highly recommended! This should be your first choice for a quality wooden clock.

Well made, intuitive and great looking clock. I own 4 of these. I've had several incarnations of this type of 'wood' clock over the years. This brand is the best so far. Sets up very easy, love the dimming wheel and the temp and RH% make this ideal for my home, office den and garage.

What do I like? Mainly the way it looks. These are nice clocks for a desk or pretty well anywhere where you want something that looks noticeably better than the usual, utilitarian digital clock. I have two of these - one black and one bamboo, and they both look very good with the white display. Now the wood look is, of course, fake, but it is a very convincing fake. It is a cool look with the numbers seeming to shine through the wood. From the front and the sides it looks VERY good. You can adjust the brightness and it shows temp and humidity along with the time. Both the temp and humidity readings appear to be reasonably accurate. What don't I like? The controls, the back, and the proprietary USB cable. Unlike the front, the back of the triangle is just ugly and kind of cheap looking, with a huge black plastic battery compartment and the very basic, small control buttons taking up most of the back, along with the place to plug it in. So this is a clock best placed where you can't see the back of it. This design would be greatly improved if the battery compartment / setting buttons were on the bottom, with a discrete USB plug on the side. As for the controls, there are three buttons - set, up and down. Those buttons have a lot of functions packed into them, some of which are fairly intuitive and some of which are not. Setting it all up turns out to be a bit fiddly. Now it is nothing wildly complicated, but this is not a clock for the technologically incompetent. I am not the kind of guy who normally would need instructions to set up a clock, but trust me when I say you will have to review and save the instructions for this thing. The fiddly nature of the controls means this could be a bedroom alarm clock, but best for people who don't alter their schedule much. If you are the kind of person who gets up for early meetings or to catch a flight or whatever and so has to change the alarm setting on your clock often, then this is not the clock for you. Yes, there are three alarms you can set, and you can control whether they go off 7 days a week or only on the weekdays, but you are not want to going to scroll through all the menus to adjust the alarms on this thing - the interface is just too clunky. This is a clock that you want to set once and then never touch, not something you want to be fiddling with constantly. Again, think more desk clock/living room clock, etc. It could be your bedroom alarm clock, but there are better choices out there for that. Finally, they cheap out on the USB cable, it is a weird little proprietary cable, fairly short, that you have to use. A standard plug on the back that would allow the use of any USB cable would be much better. In theory you can run it just on batteries, but then you basically have to set it so the display is off most of the time, unless you make noise or touch the clock which brings it to life for a little while. Otherwise it will likely rip through the batteries fairly quickly. I leave mine plugged in, using the USB wire and adapter they provide.

Cute and simple, just like it looks in pics

The clock is actually nice and I like the fact that you can turn the display up or turn it down depending on the time of day. What I don't like is that it's not displaying the right temperature. It is winter and it's approximately 73° in my house. It says it's 87°. Update as of 3/12/25 ... Now the display shuts off after I changed the clock time. I have to hit the snooze button to see what time it is. Tried all the options they recommended on troubleshooting. I didn't fix it. Why bother having something that you have to go over and turn it on every time you wanna know the time. If that's the case, I would have just went to my cell phone and looked the time up there. Of course, I'm 2 months after the return window, so this thing didn't even last 6 months.

I really like this clock! The directions are awful, and it took a bit of figuring out to set it up . I am thinking of getting another. Wish it came in different colors of wood. I have it next to the bed - it is bright enough on the lowest setting and easy to read. I don't use the UBS port or alarm or plan too . Edit 11/2022 Kept blinking after a rear of use. really was too bright on lowest setting at night . I was frustrated with resetting and UBS stopped working as well. Threw it out ! Changing 5 stars to 3!

We’ve only had this clock a short time and was concerned about the many bad reviews. But we decided to give it a try. I can’t speak to longevity but we really like it. The fact that it turns off and on with touch or noise is great and so far works well. It’s nice that it stays off at nice unless you want to check time. We find the dimmest setting is not that bright as people say. Yes, it could be dimmer but because it’s an amber light, it doesn’t light up the room and isn’t disturbing at night if someone needs to see the time. There were some comments about not being able to change the setting so you just see the time only (as opposed to seeing the rotating time/date). The directions are pretty clear how to change that setting. In fact the directions on how it works are pretty clear in general so unless you get a defective one, it should be pretty straightforward. We specifically got it because the alarm on/off is a toggle, not a button. Our little ones love to press buttons on digital clocks but the toggle is less tempting and harder to play with. They might change the time but no alarms go off now at random times so we are happy.

This is a nice looking alarm clock, that works very well. If you're very temperature sensitive at night, as I am, it's very valuable to be able to check the temp and RH before turning in. Without doing reference tests I can't vouch for the absolute accuracy, of course. I just learned the temp/RH readings I need on the clock in order to be able to sleep. I don't need it to be accurate, just consistent. The display is very bright, but you can set it to only come on when you tap it or make a noise, which is a very nice feature. It does fall a little short when it comes to usability - it's not completely intuitive. It would also be nice if the power plug was angled 90 degrees so it didn't jut out and up from the angled back panel. Minor quibbles though, and I would buy again.

Very disappointing that product need to be connected to power grid. I was expecting a battery operated clock.

Be careful. The one I got is only one alarm and I cannot change between Farenheit and Celcius temperature display.

bad experience, the description said the source of power is the battery but I figure out the clock should be plugged in a wire

This is not your ordinary looking alarm clock. It shows the temperature and the humidity as well. The alarm is only a beeping noise which is quite loud. My daughter only uses it for the clock because of the loud beep.

Je devais changer de réveil-matin, le précédent étant brisé. J'ai opté pour celui-ci dont je trouve intéressant tant par ses fonctions usuelles que particulières. C'est-à-dire, l'affichage de la température ambiante et le degré d'humidité de la pièce. Cela s'avère pratique et agréable quand vient le temps d'ajuster les thermostats lors de la saison froide. Il est facile d'utilisation et sa parure de bois ajoute un intérêts certain à l'ensemble du décor.
