Interdesign 61600 SuctionWorks Waterproof Clock

Comment: This is a great addition to our shower. For some strange reason, I get a lot of comfort from knowing exactly how much time I have in the morning before I need to start rushing. The clock sticks to the wall well and it blends in nicely.

Comment: I bought the clock in March 2008. Yesterday it stopped working. 2 years, 4 months: I've never bought another clock that broke so fast.
With a new battery, it keeps right on ticking, but the hands don't move. When I take it out of the case to see if I can fix it, I can change it from hands not moving at all, to hands getting stuck on each other, to hands sliding around the clock face loose, but I can't get it to work like a clock.
I'll replace it with something that costs much less.

Comment: We've had one of these in a shower that get's used 4 times a day for about 7 years, and it still works!

We hardly ever reset the suction cups (maybe the cleaning lady does every two weeks), but it only falls about once a year or less.

Understandably, it's a little undependable these days, so we just ordered a second one. Hopefully we'll be good for another 7 years!

Comment: I think the reason for the mixed reviews here is the product's name (which was posted by the Amazon Marketplace Reseller) claims that it is waterPROOF. On the package, it says nothing like that. It says "Water Resistant" which is what it really is.

So don't expect this to work in your shower. It's not designed for that. Water can easily creep in between the rubbery frame and directly touch the battery and electronics inside. But if you use it like how it's intended, such as on a backsplash of your sink, then you're fine.

=== PRO's ===

+ Nice Design. It actually looks better than the photo here. It doesn't have a milky white rubbery frame. It's actually clear.
+ Easy to read display with a hand for seconds. The clock area (not including the rubbery frame) is 3" in diameter and large enough for the bathroom
+ Comes with a battery

=== CON's ===

- The package also suggests using it in the bathroom, kitchen, office, locker, and more. You'll need to be careful about that. The 5 suction cups on the back are decent but they will eventually let go and your clock will drop. So you shouldn't locate it more than a few inches from the ground, tabletop, or countertop.

=== OTHER NOTES ===
A metal framed version Forma Suction Clock (Stainless Steel) (3.2"H x 2.10"W x 1"D) is also available. It has the same exact mechanism and also works in the bathroom (above the sink again... not in the shower). You might want to consider that one too. It depends on your taste and decor. I feel that the clear rubber frame of the one reviewed here works with a wider range of settings.

Also, don't let your kids play with this clock. My 3 year old dropped and broke my metal framed version of this clock.

Comment: I've been using this shower clock for 2 years now and it's great. Sure it's fell a few times but nothing with suction cups is permanent. It does still work after falling off the wall to the floor, aprox 5 feet. The batteries it came with didn't last long, so it now has a recharagable one. It keeps me on time which is why I bought it. It's water tight as long as you don't open it while in the shower. I recomend it. Just push it tight against the wall every month and it doesn't fall off.
