- Since the 90s2024-06-20Great tool to teach rugrats how to tell time
This is really cool. The little one is really into watches now. Wears a couple, usually upside down. Has absolutely no idea how to tell time. Or even what time is! This is a great intro into telling time. Colorful, well thought out. I sure wish I had this when I was little. At my age some say I still don't know how to tell time since I'm continually late - for work, dinner, events. Pretty much everything. And of course it all goes back to when I was born a short kid a century ago. When all the clocks were round and had numbers on them. The only criticisms I might have of this is the 'O'Clock' at the 12. It's actually o'clock all around the clock. And O'Clock looks like zero clock. I'm not sure if 'On the Hour' would have been better? And the colors. I feel some of the time will be spent saying what color time it is. the 4, 5, and 6, for example - they're various greens which could also be tough for a little one. But even with those two things, this is a cool teaching tool.
- M. Summers2024-06-22Nice clock
This clock does exactly what a clock is meant to do--it keeps accurate time. But it is unique with its approach to teaching how to tell time. The hour hand points to a color which is coordinated with the number on the clock. This means that it is easier for young learners to determine what "o'clock" it is. My only criticism is that there isn't enough contrast in colors to be easily discernible. I wish the hour colors had alternated between the different shades of purple, green, and yellow or that brighter colors were used. The minute hand points to numbers that are easy to read. I like that it also shows "quarter after" "half past" and "quarter to". The inside circle even shows military time. That's a lot to pack into this little clock. I'm using it in my home so the size is fine. It would be too small if I were using it in a classroom.
- Jason2024-06-20The seal of approval from an elementary school teacher!
First, I can confirm that this clock is completely silent; you can't even hear whirring as the second hand goes around the face. Second, it keeps pretty good time (which is essential for a clock...). I'm not sure how the battery life is yet, but I'll update my review later if it turns out to be worse than "normal" analog clocks. This clock is going in my wife's classroom; she teaches fourth grade. This clock will definitely help her students learn how to tell time but most importantly, it matches the design and other decorations in her classroom ;-)
- Josh2024-06-28Nice kids clock
The clock seems nice. It is easy to operate and easy to tell the time. I think it is helpful for teaching children how to tell time.
- Jo Ann Fore2024-06-21Love this colorful fun analog clock!
My teen chose this for her room based on the colors but also because she sometimes wants a refresher on telling time. She simply forgets from time to time (no pun intended) how to use the analog clocks because everything is so digital. So she really enjoys this one. Wne approved it firsthand with five stars.
- Peter2024-06-17Perfect for teaching kids to read analog
This is the second learning clock i got for our family. the first one looked very similar but the color zone were confusing. This clock has the colors in the right places to designate an hour of time. Each color represents 60 minutes so the kids can easily understand where the hour hand is pointing throughout the whole hour. the minutes are written from 0 - 59 with every 5 minutes in a slightly larger type, super helpful. the mechanism holds time well. the only change i would like is greater contrast in the colors. the gradient rainbow colors are very pleasing, but more contrast would help separate the numbers more clearly
- Debra F2024-06-17Kid approved!
My kids love this clock. It makes it easier for them to determine the hour since the hour hand is in the color of its hour. When it changes to the next color, it's the next hour. I love that it is silent. I've never had a silent analog clock before. I like the size. It's not huge, but big enough to see from across the room. Banana for scale.
- dewydrop2024-06-08Truly silent
Looks as advertised. Beautifully well made. Plastic feels thicker and more durable than it’s competitors. Clock movement is truly silent which is fantastic if you don’t like the ticking sound like Captain Hook. The colors are engaging without being tacky/harsh and neutral enough to blend in with various room color schemes. The imitation wood grain frame color is subtle like the Ikea birch color but with a slightly warmer tone. Just wish it was at least 12inches or even 15 inches wide with bigger numbers so that it’s easier to read for kiddos and adults with vision issues. Hopefully they’ll consider making bigger versions in the future which I’d buy in a heartbeat. Price at $13 is very competitive compared to the $26 popular teaching clock that’s available on Amazon. If you want something other than the tacky primary colors on the usual teaching clocks, give this one a try.
- Ryan Smith2024-06-08Colorful clock, appealing to kids
I got this for my kids because I like to have some analog clocks in the house and we didn't have one in the room that has perhaps the most critical timing - the breakfast room. I liked it because it was colorful, it turned out that the kids liked that a lot too. It even got a 'wow' when I unboxed it. The pale wood colored border, rather than a harsh black or white border I think adds to the friendly look of it. It takes a single AA battery and was easy to set, just a simple dial to twist. No other controls. So far it keeps the time well. It's lightweight and easy to hang. I've got no complaints. For the price it seems like a good value.
- Courtney2024-06-19Keeps time, easy to read
This is a great learning clock. The hands are color-coded as well as labeled making it easier to teach kids to tell time. The colors on the numbers make it helpful when you are pointing out to kids where the hands are. The Quarter to, and half past wording is helpful. Unexpectedly, our favorite feature so far has been the military hours on the clock. With people working schedules based on military time, it's easy for everyone in the family to connect 1500 with 3pm.
