Nixie Tube Clock Glow Tube Clock IPS Color Screen Digital Clock DIY Analog Digital Tube WiFi time Desktop Desktop Digital Clock Decoration Gift (H401)

I LOVE THIS SMART CLOCK! I've been wanting one for years. Actually looked at real nixie tube clocks. There are like 2 or 3 on Amazon, and they all cost several hundred dollars! So to find this one at around $70.00 was tremendous!This by the way is an edited version of my first review. When I first got it, I tried to set it up and I couldn't get it. I followed the app instructions but got interrupted with something else and when I came back, I couldn't get to that vital step. So I re-registered it with a different email (should have just deleted it and started over). I thought the clock was DOA because I plugged it in, a few LEDs lit up and then it shut down. So I tried another power source, and voila!Another review mentioned no customer support. That's not true. There is an email address on the instructions manual with an email address. Started setting it up around 8:00 pm, but ran into the aforementioned issues. So I sent an email. A few hours later I got an email back. The email name was in Chinese characters, but the content was well written English, stating there may have been an issue with a power source. I tried another one, and sure enough it worked perfectly.Connecting your phone to the clock via the app is actually way easier than what it looks like.Another review mentioned a difficulty time, or not even able to figure it out at all. It is a little glitchy. Takes a little longer than to figure out, say, the Philips Hue app. The instruction manual type was so small I had to take my glasses off to look at it. Once you get exploring the app, things get much easier.It has a very solid metal base with silicone feet underneath it, so it won't move around once you set it down. The tubes are actual real glass. It looks so cool. I like to watch a lot of sci-fi, dystopian movies that incorporate mixes of technologies (old and new) with Steampunk elements. This clock fits right in.I actually placed my clock on the mantle. And it looks awesome!You can connect with either Bluetooth or WIFI. However if you want to customize the displays, you have to be on WIFI so you can download them. There is no storge on the phone or in the app. Once you hit download, it transmits the display directly from the cloud to the clock. There's a favorites feature in there that I love. You can add all your favorites and transmit them thereThere are seeming hundreds of displays you can download/transmit. I haven't eve scratched the surface.I like it so much, I might buy another one. I just hope to get a few years out of it, not 6 months and it dies for good. LOL Also, don’t be fooled by the price. There are a lot of these available on Amazon. In actuality, like many things Amazon sells, the products are virtually identical. A higher priced model does not necessarily mean a better product. Read the ads and compare.

This looks amazing - the displays are clear and bright. The build quality feels good and it has some heft to it. The packaging is also nicely done. 4 stars because the software was a bit confusing, but here are a few tips to make it work:1. The app is available to install from the Google Play store. Sorry - I don't know if there is an iPhone app. There is a QR code that takes you to a WeChat link to download the app, but I feel much better downloading it from Google since they scan for viruses.2. You have the option to sign up as a Guest or create an account. If you choose Guest, you will only have access to 2 or 3 clock faces. If you create an account, there are easily over 100 faces to choose from.3. When you first connect, it uses Bluetooth to find the device. You are then prompted to select your WiFi network and enter a password. After that you have the choice to connect via Bluetooth or WiFi. Use WiFi. I downloaded a few clock faces using Bluetooth and it took forever (like 5-10 minutes). Doing it via WiFi takes only 20 seconds.4. As another reviewer mentioned, you can have 4 clock faces loaded at one time: Default, First, Second, Love. There is a button on the back that cycles through them. Default, First, and Second are clocks, while Love displays 0-5 as static images. There are a few static image sets of Anime and Yakuza Dragons.5. The default nixie tube clock face looks very realistic, even up close.6. Each digit has an RGB LED behind it that lights up the top of the glass dome. You can set it to color change or be static.7. I was able to get the correct weather for my city. Don't use your zip code - use your city name and state like this "Richardson, TX". You can then select your city from a list that includes your city name.8. If you go into the clock face selection, there are buttons to chose Default, First, Second, and Love, so you can change it via the app. It's much easier to press the button on the back of the clock though.9. When you turn it on, there is a cool lightning animation that moves across the screens. It doesn't have the Matrix green falling letters that some other clocks have, but that is only at startup anyways.10. The software was recently updated on June 14th, 2024 with "Bug fixes" in the release notes.I really like it and am happy with it and am glad I purchased it. I would give it 5 starts if the WiFi/Bluetooth setup was simpler to follow.

As a designer, I absolutely love this clock. I have been having lots of fun developing number faces and uploading them to the clock. It’s so interesting to see how each design completely changes when made real.The interface is not terrible, obviously could be a bit a little bit better but for the price, this is an amazing clock. I bought a second one before I wrote this from you to make sure nothing would sell out :-)I have only had this a few days so if anything changes, I will come back to the review.

First things first, it does look great and the build quality is pretty good, heavy feeling and does not look or feel cheap. Nice packaging and no damages.The bad. The instructions were on a 3x3 folded piece of high gloss paper that looked like it was screen shot from a computer monitor then printed.. it was blurry and extremely tiny, I had to use my phone camera to zoom in just to make out the words. The app does not work, it tells you to log in as a guest but you do not get the advanced options or access. If you register an account they sell your data per the user agreement, even though it specifically states on the App Store that it does not. The app would not connect to wifi, but in order to upload custom photos or even the stock photos you had to be connected to wifi. The weather would not show my area or any area for that matter it was just a stock photo of a template for the weather app. I tried to navigate the “support” page but there was no help. After reading the reviews I did not trust the app or having it in my house. Returned it the same day. Blasted the app on the App Store review. Don’t buy this.
