Product Review (submitted on September 13, 2019):

I really expected to like this clock, but was immediately disappointed upon opening it. There is no film covering the front of the clock to protect it, no soft packaging inside the box. The clock face just rubs against the box and arrives with small scratches on it. The glossy surface shows fingerprints whenever you touch it.The light of the clock is nice, and the projection is nice. It doesn't work on my wall as I wanted as a side sleeper since the wall is too close and the numbers would be too small for my eyes, but the focus feature is great and an absolute must when you find the right projection clock. Wearing my glasses, I could get it to focus on the near wall and clean up the focus for the ceiling. The number on my ceiling are big enough as the numbers are larger that farther away it is projected. People with vision problems probably won't do well with a projection clock. I can read my cell phone better to be honest, with less physical body movement. If I could see it on the wall, the projection portion would be perfect for me. My eyes are at fault for this feature, not the clock.The functions of the clock themselves is a whole another negative for me. I've had complicated, comprehensive clock/alarm/radio systems that I could operate without reading directions. However, I needed the directions just to figure out the buttons since the buttons are tiny and the print is small. The instruction guide print is super small too so have those reading glasses handy.The AC outlet cord is just way too short. If you don't have an electrical outlet handy right where you're going to set the clock, then you're going to need some type of extension cord or power strip.So, unfortunately, the 3 negative things I had read in reviews I have to agree with. Careless packaging, not a user-friendly-in-the-dark layout, and too short of a cord.The readability of the clock and the projection features work great if you have the vision and the right location far enough away for your vision =].Being disappointed with these things, I didn't bother to try to bluetooth connection or recording my own alarm sound. It's going to just be a digital clock display for me.
