Betus [Retro Style Flip Desk Shelf Clock - Classic Mechanical-Digital Display Battery Powered - Home & Office Decor 14 x 5.5 x 3.5 Inches

So far so good

Arrived in perfect condition. Beautifully packaged and secure, which is important for something with so many delicate, moving parts. The Betus flip clock is a stunner! Heavier than you would think... Dense. More metal than plastic. Over the first 18-hours, the time has been spot-on. I was worried, because many reviews for this and other flip clocks mention them being more showpiece than timepiece. That may still end up being the case here -- as one day is too short a test period -- but mine's not losing minutes every hour or failing to flip, as some have reported. I will be sure to update this January 2019 review should that change. The only things to be concerned about is that it does seem fragile. I would not feel comfortable displaying this where it could come into contact with sticky kid fingers or wagging dog tails. I'll also have to be careful dusting it. Compressed air would seem to be more appropriate than trying to wipe it with anything or using a feather duster. If there were one thing I'd change, I wish it were a 24-hour clock, instead of displaying time in AM/PM, but that's a personal quibble. I'd enthusiastically try something else from Betus.

An excellent mixture of retro and modern. Touches of chrome and clear readability make it a nice touch to any room. I find it well made and it functions flawlessly so far. A little tricky to set rotate minutes dial counterclockwise and set it a minute ahead as it takes that long to initiate the flipping action. Once set remains accurate.

One of a kind, amazing product

Clock works well, looks great and I'm very pleased with it. Instructions say use a carbon battery or something, but I've used a regular battery just as others have said in their reviews and no issues. In my experience, you DO hear it when the numbers change (minutes and hours) but it's a flip clock, so that shouldn't be shocking. Then again, I put it on a shelf on my desk, so it's four feet away from my ears! Wall mountable as well as depicted in another reviewer's photo.

I had this on my wishlist for a long time before I actually decided to buy it! I’m so glad I did because it’s amazing, house guests are always shocked when it flips! People tend to think it’s just decor and not an actual working clock, but it is! It works great and hasn’t lost any time since I’ve had it! Looks very cool and I still am entranced whenever I see it flip. It’s not loud at all and I don’t tend to notice it making the flip noise unless I’m directly under it (it’s on the wall over a seating area in my house). Overall, amazing product! Looks very cool and modern, works great, and isn’t loud or distracting. However you will need a D battery in order for it to work! So keep that in mind.
