Infinity Instruments The Inca - In/Outdoor Clock with Slate Mosaic Border

Cheap Infinity Instruments The Inca - In/Outdoor Clock with Slate Mosaic Border Review




Item advertised as indoor/outdoor. Came well packaged. Heavy. Seems solid. Attractive. Nice color scheme around outer edge will go with most decor. Prblm: Not really for outdoor use. I wanted to use it outside on a pool fence, fully exposed to the elements. When clock arrived, sticker on unit said not for use in direct sunlight. Isn't that "outdoor" use? Apparently, per seller (not Amazon), indoor/outdoor really means indoor or outdoor under protection (covered porch, maybe fully exposed but in shade all the time). So I can not use it as I had hoped. Listing in Amazon should be more precise. So use caution when considering purchase and intended use. Note that there is a return policy that I could have used, but frankly I did not feel like going through the effort and time.

Springfield Precision Instruments 14-Inch Cast Aluminum Contours

Cheap Springfield Precision Instruments 14-Inch Cast Aluminum Contours Review




We bought this clock to put on a wall near our new hot tub, which has redwood-colored trim. We live in a pueblo style home in the Southern desert in New Mexico and the clock and its color are perfect. As the directions stated, the thermometer part of the clock is not accurate when in direct sunlight, but it is in shade by late afternoon when we normally use the hot tub. We had a recent snowstorm of several inches and I was curious how it would weather that sort of weather since the hands are free-standing (not enclosed), but it did not miss a beat. I am assuming it is unbreakable too as it is made from cast aluminum. It is large enough to easily see from the hot tub, as well. We are very pleased with the purchase.

Chaney Instruments Twinbell Alarm Clock

Cheap Chaney Instruments Twinbell Alarm Clock Review




Overall, this guy does his job quite well. LOUD alarm and an elegant design both in the day and the night (the arms and hour-markers glow). You do have to wind it, but it's every two days or so, so not much of a hassle. The separate alarm is a good touch. If I've any complaint, it's that the time-set knob was a little stiff initially, but that went away. A classic look that's a surer alternative to those little digital clocks that have a habit of breaking and letting you oversleep your finals (sigh...).

Good clock. Buy it. It's pretty great.

Cheap Chaney Instruments Pink Petals Wall Clock Review




I bought this for my daughter's room. I was looking for something pink or purple and this just was perfect. It is not the greatest quality on earth, but it's very cute.
It came with a scratch on the front, and after contacting Amazon, I received my replacement clock the next day, as Amazon shipped it express. I only had to put the bad one in the box and ship it back with a label they provided.
You gotta love Amazon for standing behind their products and their great customer service.
