This is a large, remote controlled, mains powered wall clock with a big bright blue LED display, 17 inches across it also works as a timer, a thermometer, and as an alarm clock with three alarm modes and a range of loud, annoying but very effective alert tones. The clock is also available in red. The clock comes with a full sized remote control used to configure the clock and set the time which can also be done using the control buttons on the clock itself. The time can also be set automatically over Bluetooth.
In the attractive box, you get the clock itself, a power cable with a standard UK plug, a full sized remote control, and a well written and easy to read user guide. The clock is all plastic but the build quality and design both seem fine to me. The clock can be wall mounted using the handy enclosed template, or self supporting using the fold out kickstand at the rear.
The 42 x 14.5 x 2.5 cm, 0.88 kg clock is nice and simple to use with a large, bright, clear LED front panel display, 12.3 cm high contrast digits, and a range of big clicky buttons on the back to set the time, alarm times and 5-stage brightness. The clock has two AAA backup batteries preinstalled but is powered through the port behind the rear flap where excess cable can also be stored. The backup batteries are to preserve data only and cannot power the display. It comes with a well printed and easy to read user guide and a 2m power cable with a hard wired UK plug.
The clock has three basic operating modes: clock, alarm clock and timer. The timers can be operated separately and can count up or down, as required. The maximum timer length is 29 hr 59 min 59 sec with a 90 second ending alert. The alert sound for the three mode alarm clock and timer can be selected from the three sounds available. A nine minute snooze feature is available for heavy sleepers in all alarm clock modes. The clock can also be set to sound an hourly chime.
The clock features auto brightness dimming as well as manual brightness control and this along with other features such as 12/24 hour formats, and C/F selectable temperature mode, can be set on the rear panel or using the full sized remote control. Using the remote control you can fully control the clock even when it is mounted up on the wall.
On the top right of the clock display is a Bluetooth pairing indicator. The clock will enter Bluetooth pairing mode when first powered on or when the Bluetooth button (centre, top) is pressed for three seconds on the remote control. The clock will then automatically sync the time with any previously paired smartphone. On first use, when the Bluetooth indicator is shown on the clock, pair your Bluetooth phone to ‘LED Clock’ and the time will be synced as soon as the connection is made. There is no need to install a special app on your phone.
So this is a big in your face clock that’s got loads of functions and is simple and easy to use. I think it is a pretty good buy for the pre-discount Amazon price of £41.99
