When I was about ten or eleven, the first digital watches came onto the market. The specimen, which then rumzeigte Class braggart bragging will not have been cheap; It took a few more years, until even I got something. Meanwhile, three decades have passed. Computers afford today billions of times more than the time and cost it less. The same is true - in fact - for all electronic devices. And then UPHase throw here a classic Jugenddigitaluhr on the market that will actually cost 90, but is generously offered for 35? That seems to me abundantly overpriced. Even more so when the clock is not better than any other that you get on the bargain counter or at the grocery store for a few dollars: Time and date display, stopwatch and alarm clock are standard for decades. In addition, here is a countdown alarm and displaying a second time zone. Well, that I had not at that time. Hab's also not much missing. In addition, the UPHase-clock provides an additional time indication by clock hands. That too is not only unnecessary, but even annoying bells and whistles, because depending on the pointer position you can not read the underlying digital display. So there it was not about functional design, but just about as much to pack in a clock. What is missing here is something else, the default is for thirty years: a 24-hour display on the digital clock. Here you have to recognize a tiny "pm" and remember the morning that there is no "on". Furthermore, in the overloaded dial design was no place for the month display. Day and day of the week will be displayed but the month will not appear until you press the appropriate button. (Sure I know normally that month. But a reasonable indication why does one either completely or not.). For all that the clock is clunky (format a Mens adult) and for my taste not particularly nice. And despite the size, I find the digital displays too small. The hundredths at the stopwatch you can hardly read. Conclusion: If I had the clock not been given on Vine, I would have considered no second to buy them. One easily gets cheaper digital watches that are more beautiful and better.
PS: In fairness, I should say that the instructions, which comes as a series of small booklets in one language, is quite well done. They also need to rise through the functions, but luckily the clock is set correctly at the factory. What the manual does not tell, however, is that you have to remove the small white Stipsel the dial so that the hands start to run.
