Looks great but not what I was expecting

Great looking little clock that I ended up giving to my son to use in his room. Was expecting it to be easier to use and have more functionality than it has, but unfortunately it's not really what I had anticipated. Feels a bit cheaper quality than what it should have been for the price, and there's little to no real functionality to it other than the clock function. Wish there was a dimming function (maybe there is one that I just am not aware of yet) as it can be too bright for my son at night, and he needs to block it so it doesn't illuminate his room at night when he's sleeping. Great for someone who wants to use it as a statement piece on their desk or on a shelf and never touch it again.

Item description is wrong

I specifically wanted to use the mutlicolored skins for the digits and the description says there are 20 themes "out of the box" which is a lie. There are 2, not 20. And the software does not work on linux, so I'm unable to use the style I wanted.

Useless, beyond telling the time.

I was looking forward to all of this "RGB back glow" and "infinite possibilities" for each display if I so wanted to. Instead, I got a paperweight with four displays on it. It's damn near impossible to map any real-time data to the displays, it's clunky to try and set up let alone live with, and I'm pretty sure I could find the same thing on Wish.com for pennies on the dollar. The one positive point I'll give it is the build quality. While it's not astounding if you're looking for "something to be passed down from generation to generation", it may just survive long enough to get to a single generation and isn't bad for an overpriced item you'd find on Wish.

Feels cheap

Not glass. Feels cheap. Software is too sketchy for me to run on my computers. Would not recommend. Will try to return

Cool gadget, terrible price

Looks good, build quality is so-so, terrible if you factor in the price. No instructions whatsoever. Not too complicated to figure out, but once you get the software, it's only in Chinese. It does what it's supposed to do, but it is not worth the price.

Broken after 2 months of very careful use

After two months of prudent use, the last screen is broken. I switch it on only for a few hours daily. The overall quality is not good. The clock arrives to me without a few buttons. They unscrewed during transportation. Not recommended. Waste of money.

Way lower quality than the price and pictures suggest

I'm a sucker for desktop gizmos and trinkets. I figured an IPS homage to nixie tube clocks would be a neat little addition. I got really suckered on this one. The build quality is truly atrocious. The box and packaging are fairly nice, but once you get to the hardware it all starts to stumble. The buttons are loose and rattle-y, and cannot be tightened without full disassembly. And even fully tightened, they're still extremely loose and feel unpleasant. The displays are very bright, and cannot be dimmed or adjusted. Surprisingly, the software is pretty straightforward and fairly easy to use. The included faces leave a little to be desired, but the instructions are easy to follow and make your own. The clock can only hold two faces at a time, which was a disappointment. Honestly, skip this one.

Bad quality

Doesn't look realistic, and buttons fell apart easily.

Works out of the box, cheap quality and deeply unsatisfying. Not worth the price.

Cheap plastic, each window is scuffed and scratched so much that it can be seen at arm's length, feels light and rattles. The LED screens inside are misaligned, dim, and set so far back that the time cannot be read at certain angles. Wholly not worth the price and a regrettable purchase.

Neat and cute but NOT worth the price

The clock itself looks nice and clean once it's set up and working. However, the product quality isn't good enough for the price at all. First of all, one of the buttons came loose right out of the box, I can see it's screwed on but the screw is not fixed in place so I couldn't put the button back on because the screw kept rotating with the button as I tried to screw it back on!! I had to essentially disassemble the whole clock from the back to access the screw in order to put the button back on.

I also noticed that there are some very small scratches on the clear plastic clock face covers, as you can see below. It's not a big problem in my opinion as it's not visible from a distance, but can annoy some people. Again, this is just poor quality control.

Software is surprisingly not so painful to set up, as you can find the relevant driver in the comments/discussions. Once the software is installed and the clock is connected to the laptop and synced up, it's quite easy to upload customisable clock faces. Unfortunately you can only have 2 faces stored on the clock at one time and you can switch between the two, if you want to change to something else you'll have to load up the software again. Lastly, the IPS display on the far right on my unit weirdly has a higher brightness than the others. It's not very obvious when you look at it from an angle but when you look at it straight it's quite obvious and distracting. All in all, this is product is a cute concept and I wouldn't say it's total waste of money because it's actually a nice piece of decoration on my desk, but the quality control is so trash it's only worth half the price.
