Adventurers IPS Nixie Tube Clock, Creative Electronic DIY Nixie Tube Clock Simulation with 6-Bit IPS LCD Screen,12/24 Hours, RGB Backlit Desktop Decoration,Gifts for Decorating Rooms and Desks

i am INTRIQUED by gadgets and normal everyday items showcased in a totally different format and this "NIXIE TUBE DESK CLOCK" is perfect for people with those preferences. Saw this on my nephew's wish list and had to have it! So got it for his birthday (and to satisfy my own curiosity!) He was thrilled and LOVED it! Me too!It is so simple in design - and a bit o a "space age look" and goes well with the spaceman robot on his desk. Easy to assemble and yet so versatile internally that it piques your interest the moment you see it.... you say - what is that? It is a clock - a modern looking one or has fonts to create an old world look - or it can be a photo album and you can personalize it. You can change fonts and colors for the letters and numbers to what you suits you ... like the "matrix" by touch of a button. You can set up pictures in the tubes to showcase family, friends and events - special things - while you are working. Oh all kinds of stuff! He is still playing with it and learning what all he can do with it and I'm still excited to see what he's learned so we'll have to come back and update you.The price was great for the joy in getting and giving this gift! Great gift for that creative person in your life that you have no clue what to get them. It has a lot of versatility and potentials (sound/music) can be added and for your personalization if interested that he hasn't even gotten to yet! and yes, keeps accurate time - any way you want to see it. Personalize it with bright crisp clear fonts/numbers that can be changed easily any time you want to create a different look or one that would serve better as a softer night light. I am pleased with this purchase and the product and the joy it brought in the giving and receiving.

This clock is beautiful, looks so cool and easy to assemble. I read someone review about how difficult to set it up. I, also, experience the same when I first set it up. However, after contact Adventurers After-Sales Team, Joseph, he told me that a new cell phone control function added.He provides instructions how to explore the options. There are more than six dials available. When you use your cell phone or IPAD to search for the WIFI (with the suffix TubesA_????) emitted by the clock, and then your cell phone will automatically jump to the following web page 192.168.4.1. You need to log in the IP (192.168.4.1) under the unified LAN with the browser and the control interface will come up. You can replace each default six dials with multiple dials selection and will see more options on the interface. I advise that you should contact Adventurers After-Sales Team if you have any issue.

Excellent packaging. Best I've seen in a while. Manual is of little help setting up (once you find the English). QR's are TINY. I've set a LOT of clocks, but this one was impossible - I could set the time/date easily, but it won't display when done. All it does is play that Matrix video which was cool the first few times, but gets annoying real fast. One video mentioned "double clicking one of the set buttons but it does nothing. All the clocks seen in videos are slightly different than the one I got. I'll probably return it, but too bad. Its a very well engineered, and good looking device.

It is nice looking and was easy to assemble. The directions, as others have said, are terrible. The print is extremely small and directions to set the date, time and other details are even worse. If you are a patient person I would recommend this clock but if not, buy something else as it is a pain in the butt to set up.

This clock is beautiful and easy to use. The idea of having tiny backlit LCD screens, one for each digit, is delightfully clever. The glass tubes and rear-mounted RGB LEDs add authentic nixie ambience! If you get bored with the nixie look, you can change the font or even show little pictures on each of the screens. The only snafu is that you need to use a Windows 10 program to get extra fonts or to load little pictures. Moreover, the USB chip they use needs a non-standard driver. Both of these latter items require you to download from a sketchy Chinese website. I couldn't get any of this to work and gave up. But what you are able to do without the software is very satisfactory. This clock is worth the money and is extremely nice. It works fine and you can change among built-in fonts without any computer or software.

Setup seems complicated, but take your time and wash your hands to keep fingerprints off the tubes. Looks great and exactly what I wanted

I knew it would be on a metal base but it looked darker and more shiny in the pictures, and the IPS screens seem slightly out of focus and dimmer than I would expect. It assembled easily enough but it has no android app to control it. And, they make you download the windows driver and control program on your phone so that you need to transfer it to your computer to install and run. The only problem is it worked briefly then quit working and would not work again even after a restart.I waited too long to even open the box so returning it is not a choice. If Adventures sees this, I would dearly love a better way to control the clock, and if it has brightness and focus controls, that would be greatly appreciated.

A very polished implementation. The clock is solid a works perfectly out of the box.Time string was easy and the display is fantastic.A further plus was the well designed and impressive packaging. A lot of thought went into this product.I would recommend it to anyone as a gift or for your own use.
