Nixie Tube Clock with Wi-Fi SYNC, Alarm & Timer, 12/24H Display, No Assembly Required - A Retro Gift for Friends (Wood Grain)

This clock is simply amazing modern technology with the true appearances and functions of a vintage nixie clock.

Pairs great with your Flux Capacitor or Automatic Recombobulator. As others have mentioned, it's not real tubes, but that's fine for me, and looks good. No ragerts on my purchase.

So I will start by saying this is a beautiful faux nixie clock. The display is well built and mesmerizing to look at. However, I had to return it purely based on it's Wi-Fi feature. The Wi-Fi presents itself as a static access point without password protection intended for you to connect and configure things like the time and custom colors of each tube through the use of a mini web service running on the clock. That's all fine, however, I never intended to use this feature and was happy just using the buttons on the clock directly to set modes. I accessed the Wi-Fi to secure it from the default open state and that's where I discovered that you can't and found my only gripe about this thing (and unfortunately a deal breaker for me). You can enable password on the access point with a check box which sets a default "weak" password that you cannot change. So it's either fully open or protected with a password you can just Google. There is no option to hide the Wi-Fi ssid broadcast (not that it creates any significant security). But more importantly there is no option to completely disable the Wi-Fi feature entirely. The manufacturer intends for you to connect the device to your home network in order to update and likely sync with ntp time services, which is fine, but I'm extremely reserved on which devices I allow on my network. So having a device accessible to anyone within 30 feet of my location is a huge concern even if it is just a clock. I would have totally kept this product if not for this security oversight. In my opinion no one should have a device in their home that isn't 100% in their control. Call me paranoid. If a device/product offers Wi-Fi functionality of any capacity (client or server) "proper" security options should be foremost in design. All in all, it's a pretty product and a nice spin on the old nixies with nicely etched acrylic number plates that even mimic the depth of the real ones (and use a ton less power). Brightness has a nice adjustable range and colors are vivid (likely neopixel or some variant). It runs on an espressif microcontroller and overall has a solid feel. Buttons have a little play, so they rattle if you shake it, but overall a nice device. Kudos on the physical design, but the firmware could use a little more work to address the issues above. I was considering keeping it and writing my own to disable the Wi-Fi but I have too many projects already. Thank you and sorry for the return.

This thing is just plain cool. Easy to setup, no router security to worry about. Go to wifi settings on your phone and look for clock tech network to show up-the clock broadcasts a signal. Click on the clocks network and enter the 1xxx web address in the instructions and you get full access to the clock. It's just a wonderful thing. Stunning to look at and to be able to change the colors and everything else you'll love it. YES it looses about 2secs a day but who cares, 4 clicks on my phone and it is exact again. It's sweet and worth every penny!

Looks amazing. Wish there was an app but it simple enough to long into it through your network. Sorry the camera didn't do it justice.

This was my favorite Christmas gift I got this year. Even my millenial kids like it. I had always wanted a nixie tube clock, but the expense and hassles of the real nixie tubes just were not worth it. This clock captures 90% of the appearance of real nixies, in a modern digital clock, with none of the problems of real nixies. The tube digits really are 3D, with 10 individual digit plates stacked inside the tubes. The difference is that the numbers are engraved plastic plates rather than metal stampings, but that actually makes the numbers easier to read. The default digit color is nixie orange, but you can configure it with any tube any color in the rainbow. It also has a preprogrammed light show if that's your thing. Brightness is adjustable too. The base holding the electronics is small and is powered by a usb cord and phone charger, so it produces near zero heat. Programming instructions are cryptic as others have said, but no worse than a digital watch. The only thing they don't tell you is how to turn the alarm off(!), although they do tell you how to disable it. I got my clock up and going using just the buttons so I haven't bothered with the app.

Pretty easy to configure with your phone. I did not connect it to my home wifi, just connected to the clocks open wifi and went to the setup page with my phone browser and then disconnected. Out of the box it has a bright colorful display that can be dimmed all the way down to off. Good test clock if you're thinking about buying an authentic nixie clock.

As others have said, it looks great but I had to read other people’s reviews to finally figure out how to set it up. The instructions it comes with aren’t detailed enough. Once I understood how to do it I expect it will be easy to tune and update the clock from here on out. The crucial, for me, missing step is it has it’s own WiFi, so you don’t connect to it via Bluetooth - which feels standard for most hardware these days - or by LAN as it says in the instructions. The password to change settings on the clock is what it says in the instructions. Once I knew to look for it, and adjust it, through my phone’s WiFi settings the rest was simple. I gave it 3 stars because the setup is so nonstandard, and I’m concerned about my network security now.

Das Design der Uhr hat mich sehr angesprochen und die Verarbeitung wirkt trotz Kunststoff sehr wertig. Seltsam ist, dass die Uhr keine (Gummi-) Füße hat, wodurch sie rutschig und leicht kippelig auf dem Tisch steht. Ich habe ein paar Schaumstoffstreifen auf die Bodenplatte geklebt - jetzt steht die Uhr perfekt. Die Einrichtung ist sehr einfach: Über das eingebaute WLAN-Modul wird eine kleine Website geöffnet, über die dann Farben, Animationen, Zeitzone und die Einbindung ins eigene WLAN eingestellt werden können. Es wird zuerst eine WLAN-Verbindung nur zwischen z.B. Smartphone, Notebook oder Tablett und der Uhr aufgebaut, um die kleine Website (umschaltbar zwischen Chinesisch und Englisch) aufzurufen. Von dort sucht man sein persönliches WLAN, gibt sein WLAN-Passwort ein und dann verbindet sich die Uhr mit dem ausgewählten WLAN. Im eigenen WLAN lässt sich die eben genannte Webseite über die vom Router zugewiesene IP-Adresse aufrufen. In einer Fritzbox genügt dazu ein Klick auf den Gerätenamen in der Netzwerk-Übersicht. Insgesamt ist das alles einfach und durchdacht. Sobald die WLAN-Verbindung steht und die Zeitzone gewählt wurde, stellt sich die Uhr automatisch sekundengenau ein. Ich bin bei der Einrichtung kurz hängen geblieben als ich mit dem WLAN der Uhr verbunden war und per IP-Adresse (steht in der kleinen, beiliegenden Anleitung) erstmals die Website öffnen wollte: Die Seite wurde nicht gefunden! Mein Fehler, denn weil das kleine Mini-WLAN zur Uhr keinen Zugriff auf das Internet bietet, hat mein Smartphone versucht, die Seite über Mobilfunk zu erreichen. Das klappte natürlich nicht. Also: Bei der ersten Einrichtung nicht vergessen, im Smartphone die mobilen Daten deaktivieren - dann geht es sofort! Das war das einzige Hindernis bei der Einrichtung. Nicht so gut gefällt mir, dass die Uhr ihr eigenes (ungeschütztes) WLAN nicht abschaltet, nachdem man die Uhr ins eigene WLAN eingebunden hat. Das hierfür optional aktivierbare - aber nicht veränderbare - Passwort "12345678" ist so sicher wie ein Pappkarton als Tresortür. In meiner Wohnsituation möchte ich das sich hieraus abzuleitende Sicherheitsrisiko jedoch eher als abstrakt bewerten, weshalb ich keinen Stern abziehe - sauber ist das aber nicht! Die Uhr habe ich erst seit ein paar Stunden. Ich kann daher noch nicht sagen, ob die Uhr auf Dauer Probleme macht. Bis dahin schaue ich mir das schöne Stück einfach nur gerne an!

Superfin klocka. Love it!. . Bra ljus och effekter 👍 hade vart bra med en app att styra den. Ny styrs den via webläsare och det känns inte superbra. Men som sagt, kolckan i sig är superfin

I don't usually write reviews but I had to for this. It is absolutely stunning!! If you're a designer or someone who appreciates good design, you will love this. It was packed so well, connecting it with my mobile also allowed me to control the colors and display mode. Pictures don't do it justice, it is much much better in real life.
