Summary: Great design idea but still in beta mode. 2010-02-17
Comment: Briefly, I'm disappointed.
I read at least one review that said that it didn't stick to the wall. I discounted that because I am good at getting suction cups to stick. And when I first received it I noticed that it has five separate little suction cups. But I now think that the suction cups are too small and work against each other and that one large suction cup would be better. - Anyway it fell off the tile surround of the bathtub and it fell off the wall above that. It even fell off the wall when it was sitting on the edge of the surround so that it had some support.
I tried adding a little light glue to the suction cups and that didn't work. So I finally just put it down face up on the edge of the tub where I could see it. Alas, first the clock failed to work because the battery wasn't in firm enough. So I taped the battery and then tried it on the wall one more time in a place where it was supported at the bottom. The hour hand immediately dropped to the six o'clock position and stayed there. So now the clock doesn't work which someone in these reviews had also warned me about.
- So BE WARNED. If you do go ahead and order this make sure that you put it to work immediately so that if it is going to fail for you it does so within the return period which appears to be 30 days after the estimated delivery date. Unfortunately for me I didn't give up soon enough.
- While writing this I looked at the clock one more time. And I can now give you a HINT. Before you try to make the clock stick to a wall, first remove the clock from the outside shell that has the suction cups. That way you can access the back of each suction cup separately to push on each one firmly. With the clock in it's shell when you push on one side it lifts the other side up which is why it is so hard to get it to stick. After the shell is firmly where you want it then set the clock and return it to it's waterproof shell which is already on the wall.
- It looks good. It is small but easy to read. It will cost you the price of a 3D movie to try out the clock along with my hint.

Summary: Rather small 2010-02-11
Comment: This clock is rather small, the face measuring only 3 inches.
The numbers are dark and clear. The clock is small but easy to read.
Keeps fairly good time, I have had to correct it once in the last month.
We got this for the bathroom but for me (being blind without my glasses) I cannot read it while in the shower.
My wife complains about the same problem.
It's too small.
I also would not really consider the clock water proof.
It is a clock stuffed into a plastic holder that keeps most of the moisture out.
Let us call it what it is..... water resistant.
The suction cups on the holder have never failed to hold the clock.
We have ours stuck to the mirror.
I give it 2 stars rather than 3 because the advertisements were unclear as to the size.
Comment: This clock works great! I needed one for in my shower to keep me going in the mornings.

Summary: Never Worked Properly 2009-10-20
Comment: I bought this clock and it worked for about 3 days. The small hand on the clock doesn't stay in place and the second hand constantly gets stuck. Unfortunately, I had this clock for several weeks before I put it up in the bathroom and did not have the packaging or the receipt to bring it back. I would never buy one again.

Summary: Great clock, just purchased my second 2009-04-29
Comment: I purchased this clock about six years ago. The Amazon.com reviews were mixed but I thought I would take my chances. It worked beautifully -- it kept good time, was easy to see without my contacts, etc.
Over the past few months, the batteries weren't lasting as long so I got a second one. Am just as happy with the sedond.
