Nixie Tube Clock with Wi-Fi SYNC, Alarm & Timer, 12/24H Display, No Assembly Required - A Retro Gift for Friends (Wood Grain)

I've been playing with this for about a day and a half now -- and I admit some of the subtleties of programming it are still eluding me; I'm heading for a video about that one day. But not today! I've got it set up now (SOMEhow, not sure exactly how; I will not be changing it any time soon in case I can't readily get this look back) so each cube is pulsing in different random colors, and it's beautiful to look at. One of my programming stymies has been that I can't seem to get it in 12 hour mode (vs. 24-hour mode, ie military time) but I've decided I prefer 24-hour mode anyway at this point. (it gives that first cube a bit more to do!)I have it positioned below my TV, where I previously had another "normal" clock, and at first I worried that the time was too hard to "read" on this clock, and -- depending on the pulsing -- it CAN take me a couple of seconds to "read" the time, during the day. (It gets much brighter in a room which is not sunlit, duh.) But I've decided I like that TOO! If you want to know the time, there it is right in front of you. But if you DON'T care about the time at the moment, it's not all "in your face" about it. (of course, you can also set it so that it does NOT pulse and change colors; but I don't think I'll be doing that any time soon.)I love it. And, unlike the plain jane clock it's replacing, it actually seems to tell time pretty well so far, too.

My 10 year old grandson asked for the ClocTeck Nixie Tube Clock with Wi-Fi Sync for Christmas. I was hesitant at first because of the price - I wasn’t sure what the quality would be like. But once it arrived, was opened, and turned on, we were blown away. It’s beautiful, high quality, and works exactly as described. They are so happy with it!He actually had a hard time getting it into his bedroom because his mom loved it so much she wanted to keep it in the family room.

So I will start by saying this is a beautiful faux nixie clock. The display is well built and mesmerizing to look at. However, I had to return it purely based on it's Wi-Fi feature.The Wi-Fi presents itself as a static access point without password protection intended for you to connect and configure things like the time and custom colors of each tube through the use of a mini web service running on the clock. That's all fine, however, I never intended to use this feature and was happy just using the buttons on the clock directly to set modes. I accessed the Wi-Fi to secure it from the default open state and that's where I discovered that you can't and found my only gripe about this thing (and unfortunately a deal breaker for me).You can enable password on the access point with a check box which sets a default "weak" password that you cannot change. So it's either fully open or protected with a password you can just Google.There is no option to hide the Wi-Fi ssid broadcast (not that it creates any significant security). But more importantly there is no option to completely disable the Wi-Fi feature entirely. The manufacturer intends for you to connect the device to your home network in order to update and likely sync with ntp time services, which is fine, but I'm extremely reserved on which devices I allow on my network. So having a device accessible to anyone within 30 feet of my location is a huge concern even if it is just a clock. I would have totally kept this product if not for this security oversight. In my opinion no one should have a device in their home that isn't 100% in their control. Call me paranoid.If a device/product offers Wi-Fi functionality of any capacity (client or server) "proper" security options should be foremost in design.All in all, it's a pretty product and a nice spin on the old nixies with nicely etched acrylic number plates that even mimic the depth of the real ones (and use a ton less power). Brightness has a nice adjustable range and colors are vivid (likely neopixel or some variant). It runs on an espressif microcontroller and overall has a solid feel. Buttons have a little play, so they rattle if you shake it, but overall a nice device.Kudos on the physical design, but the firmware could use a little more work to address the issues above. I was considering keeping it and writing my own to disable the Wi-Fi but I have too many projects already.Thank you and sorry for the return.

Much betterthan my previous pixies. I can set for Daylight savings without accidentally setting a timer or alarm.

Could be the best company I've ever worked with. Their concern for quality and customer satisfaction is beyond reproach. Item arrived very quickly. The clock is quite fascinating and a conversation piece. Highly recommended.

I am of the age that remembers tube radios and televisons. this is a unique digital clock. I think the price is a bit too high for material that it's made from. but the technology makes it worth it. And it looks very cool on your computer desk.

Looks cool, but WiFi sync just doesn't work, period. Also needs to be reset every month because it runs slow.

I bought this clock to place on my home office desk. I looked at quite a few of the Nixie clocks but just couldn't justify $300+ for a clock on my desk so I scoured for something a bit more in line for what I was going to use it for and found this clock. Looks great on my desk and I get lots of comments/compliments. The different scrolls of the numbers and the various colors are cool too! However, here are the aggravations: Will not connect to the Wi-Fi. I have done it all to try and get it to connect....it will not. I like 24hr. time. It will only do one round of 24 hours and then switches back to the 12hr. mode.......yes, I've messed with that setting a ton too and, to no avail. Directions are really pretty lame and customer service..................well! To exit on a positive though, I'm glad I only paid what I did for this and NOT some $300+ model. :) Best of luck to YOU!!
