Beware of Those Stellar Reviews!!! They're Likely Paid For!!!
I purchased this clock because of the aesthetic design and the outstanding reviews. But most of all, I wanted this clock for the adjustable display feature. Unfortunately, this clock has a major design flaw concerning this feature. Every evening, the display turns off at 6 pm. Easy to turn back on, but still annoying. When you turn the display off in order to have an ultra dark room while you sleep, the display will turn on at 6 am. This turned out to be a big problem and the deal breaker for me, since I live in the Pacific Northwest where we have very dark mornings in the fall and winter. When the clock display would turn on by itself at 6 am after I had turned it of for the night, it would light up the whole room and disrupt my sleep. I tried both the old version and the "updated" version and found that both had the same issue with the display turning off and on by itself at given times. When a person buys a clock with an adjustable display, they are expecting to be in full control of that display at all times. This clock does not allow for that. It seems like this flaw should be a simple fix either by the manufacturer fixing it or having an option for the user to turn off this "feature" (if that's what they consider it). A simple fix for a major flaw that the manufacturer does not prioritize, even with the "updated" version. 5 stars for the design. However, since the design means nothing if the feature they tout (an adjustable display) does not work properly, 1 star.
