WallarGe Night Light Wall Clock for Bedroom - Silent Lighted up Wall Clock Glow in The Dark, Battery Operated Wall Clocks for Living Room/Kitchen, Easy to Read Large Digital Display, 12 Inch

I was quite worried, and had my doubts about ordering this item, after I read the negative reviews about this clock. But- so far, so good! I have only had the clock for about a month, but I am really loving it. It’s keeping perfect time, and after setting the illumination to the lower setting- the higher one was far too bright for me- it is just what I wanted. I wanted a clock that was large enough for me to read in the dark (I am an older person, and prefer big, simple, legible numbers) with an illumination level that wasn’t garish and wouldn’t interfere with me falling asleep, and staying asleep. This clock fulfills every requirement. This clock runs absolutely silently. The numbers are large and legible and easy to read, as are the hands. Even the second hand is a generous size, and is easy to follow with the eye, even at night. The illumination is a soft, bluish glow that emanates from the center of the clock, radiating outward, but not in obvious “rays” or in any distracting or jarring fashion. When the clock arrived, I was a bit surprised at how heavy the package was. The clock appeared solidly built. The face of the dial is glass, not plastic- another thing that took me by surprise. These days, almost anything we buy new is pretty flimsy, and just screams “Hi! I’m going to break soon!” So when something feels fairly well built, that is almost a shock. I recently stocked up on AA batteries, so I had four of them ready to install into the clock. The mechanism of the clock requires one AA battery, and the light requires three. If you are in a darker area when you install the batteries, the light on the clock’s dial will come on as soon as you insert them, and you can use the switch on the back of the clock to test the two illumination levels. One caveat- and this was completely my fault. I ignored the hanger that came with the clock, and absent-mindedly tried to hang it on the large metal push pin that was already in the wall. This push pin had supported an even larger (and heavier) wall clock that had an illuminated dial which had recently given up the ghost. I had purchased this WallarGe clock as a replacement. After installing the batteries and setting the time, I stood on a step stool (I am 5’ 2”) and hung the new clock, then prepared to step back and admire it. In horror, I watched as the brand new clock came crashing to the floor. To my relief, the clock was still running, and to my greater relief, the glass face of the clock had not shattered, or even cracked. I immediately went back to my desk, and found the hanger/hook that came enclosed with the clock. You tap three- I think it was three- rather peculiar pointed gold-toned metal “nails” (though they are not nails, just pointed pieces of metal) into the wall after pushing them through three openings in the hanger/hook. I used to work in art framing shops, and the clock hanger reminded me of a certain kind of picture hanging hook. After securing the hanger to the wall, I placed the clock on the hook, as I should have done in the first place. It hung there quite solidly, much to my relief. The clock looks great in the daytime, as well. I really like its large size. It has a sort of comforting presence, as it kind of reminds me of the clocks you would see high on the walls in elementary school. I’m a Capricorn, and while I don’t really believe in astrology, I am a bit obsessed with time. I have clocks all over the place. And at night, I must have a clock that is illuminated so I can just look up in the dark, and see clearly what time it is. This clock has a sensor that turns on the illumination when the light levels are low enough in the room, and turns the illumination off when the ambient light has risen. As I mentioned, the higher setting of illumination was far too bright for me. But I was happy to find the lower illumination setting was just perfect. I can’t stand anything that is too bright in the room at night, and was worried this clock would be too much of a light distraction, and interfere with deep sleep. I am happy to report that it does not. I can’t think of any reason not to purchase this clock. It would be great in any room- living room, kitchen, dining room, or garage. You can easily read it from a distance. I can’t attest as to the clock's long-term performance, but I will add to my review as time passes (time!) to report on the clock’s progress. Hope this helps!

So far so good. I see alot of mixed reviews but so far all is well. The clock is quiet enough but does make a low level of noise. The face is pretty bright, even on low, but nothing that disturbs my sleep. The number are very clear and it is very easy to read in the dark so I am no longer waking up and struggling to see what time it is. Glad I made the purchase

My dad just has to know what time it is when he wakes up at night. I know, it's not good for you but he has to know and he's almost 80 so I just help him. This is our 4th clock and it is definitely the best. He's had it for 8 months now and has not had to change the batteries yet. The others would die after 4-6 weeks, especially in darker months when the automated lights would come on often. This one is not too bright, unless you want it to be and is easy to read from afar. Good quality and also looks nice. Highly recommend!

Great clock works well ..looks great wish the light or the glow would be a Lil brighter but other than that its fantastic!

This clock is great. I've had it for a while and bought a second one for work. It basically holds true to time. The backlight is very convenient at night, and shuts off during the day. Batteries last a long time. I've had to replace a bunch of cheaply made clocks, but this one I Highly recommended.

Quality Made. Dims to a soft blue background glow. Easy on eyes at night. I’m happy with it.

I wear glasses and needed a clock I could see at night without having to get up and put on glasses. Large digital clocks wouldn't work since my eye sight is so poor. I can make out the the dial and hand positions of large battery-powered analog clocks so that would seem to be the solution. The first analog clock I tried was large enough but the dial was black with glow in the dark hands. The glow dials only lasted a few hours so it didn't work all night. This clock has a separate battery powered night light which works perfectly all night. I can see the hands contrasted against the dial. It completely replaces my plugin night light. It automatically turns off in daylight and on at night. The light is very dim and does not keep me awake or make it difficult to fall asleep. I've had it for two months with no issues. I'm very happy with the product and purchase.

This is just a plain wall clock, but the backlighting is a nice feature for dark rooms. It keeps time accurately and doesn't overwhelm anything else on the wall. It fits in with all my wall art, and it is a nice size, about the size of an LP. I also like it because it doesn't tick.
