Newgate Centre of The Earth LCD Alarm Clock - Black

Cool design!! Retro yet modern & fun.

The clock is either battery operated or powered by a USB cable. There is no electrical plug. If I want to use batteries to power it the digital numbers do not display. They only display if you use the USB cable. What if I don't have anything to plug the USB cable into? Your only option would be to use the batteries, but then the display doesn't show up, rendering it useless. I really wanted to like this clock, I really like the style and color of it, but operationally it seems to be poorly designed. Thanks.

Exactly what I wanted for a bedside clock.A little tricky to get it going. But it’s perfect.

it is just the right size but the numbers are large and easy to see. Very sleep and modern.

The clock is nice but it is not exactly easy to get started. Took a while but all is well.

You need to keep the clock plug in to the power outlet, otherwise the numbers on the clock face will be dimmed. The battery option is useless.

I was so happy to get this clock. It looks great. But they joy stopped there. First off, getting the time and alarm set requires quite a bit of instruction, not such a big deal, but putting this in a guest room is out of the question. Second, all of the buttons are similar in size and the snooze button also functions to dim the clock, and it's right next to the button that turns off the alarm so you can inadvertently either turn off the lights so you can't see what time it is or shut the alarm off when you don't want to do that. Lastly, it is unstable so if you're reaching over to snooze it you will no doubt cause it to roll over and onto the floor. What a great way to wake up! All of these things happened to me and I returned it -- and got to pay a restocking fee ... MoreI was so happy to get this clock. It looks great. But they joy stopped there.

Perfect Retro design, and the 60’s 70’s vibe and color is great

Cute very functional. Love adjustable back light - ranges from night light to none. I purchased the chic white. Easy to adjust - too. Highly recommend.
