I purchased this alarm clock because I am partially blind and partially deaf. The vibration pad works well and the analog clock face lights up well with bright numbers. When I wake during the night I like to look at the clock to see what time it is. I could see the numbers fine, but the hour and minute hands were invisible. The glow in the dark bands on the hands were not glowing even after having placed them in direct sunlight for ten hours. I contacted the manufacturer's customer service and was informed that the hands would not glow beyond three hours time. I have had other other illuminated clocks and I have never heard of the glow in the dark feature wearing off after just three hours. My other clocks lasted easily throughout the entire night. I understand that it needs to charged every so often, but the product was supposed to be made for people with disabilities. So, just because there is no way to see what the time is consistently during the night, I can not recommend this product. I am returning it.

This is suppose to be a privacy screen and people could still see what was going on. And all it did was make the screen darker. So in daylight it barely showed. Very disappointing

I can't read the projected time or temperature because it isn't bright enough.
Also the projection can't be pointed FORWARD in front of the clock so you would have to look BEHIND you to see it.  Kinda a pain when you are in bed. Also the clock face is really bright so it acts like a night light right next to the bed.  This is not a positive for me. I would not have bought it if I knew this but I didn't buy from Amazon so can't return it.

This is clearly stated on the box yet the full description provided above does not mention this.  I am surprised that a bigger deal was not made out of this issue by other reviewers.  How long could the light shine after a partial charge on a cloudy day? My night, from dusk to dawn, can be as long as 12 hours depending on time of year.  As I wanted these for security, this is not acceptable.

I set the clock up the day I received it and was happy about all of its functions.  When bedtime approached I became very unhappy with the clock.  I was unable to see any of the display even in a pitch black room.  It is not bright enough for me to see across a room.  I am only able to see the display up close.

I bought this screen protector because it looked nice with a case I have. However, working in a garden center and in the sun it was too hard to see the time, or to call someone. If you are a night person only then this will work for you, but outside in the day time it just does not work.

Product not as advertised. NOT blackout and I wish I would have read reviews better-first

Difficult to read digits during daylight.  Display is dark and digits are not illuminated enough for easy viewing anytime of day or night.  Pressing the illumination switch useless in daylight and not bright enough at night.

you can see only numbers but not the hands night time.  It is useless for me because that was the main purpose I purchased it for.

The green "ON" LED indicator light can not be seen in the daylight, even with cupping your hands around it to try and hide the daylight.  I can only see the LED light at night and even barely then.  It certanily needs an improvement with being able to tell if it is functioning properly.  As for clearing the Algae I have only had it for a week and honestly could not tell you if it is working yet because, I completely empty, scrubbed, and refilled my pond before installation.  We are now having cooler weather so, until it heats up here I will not know if I spent my money well or wasted it.  See you in July or August when I update my review and let you know if it is doing anything to help the algae problems I have had  before.

I'm very disappointed. Just purchased to use for outside our house but set it up inside to see how it worked. We have used it twice for a few hours and the second time the moving parts started slowing and suddenly stopped and does not work whatsoever anymore. The light is still strong but the snow will not move. It was not dropped or left on for too long. Super bummed because I wanted to move it outside for the holidays instead of putting up lights but will not anymore.

I bought this watch so I could keep track of the time during the night...wanted an illuminated dial...when it's lights out, the watch can be read...but four hours later, all you get is a dim glow and you can't read it in the dark at all...I wear it out in the sun all day...four hours after I hit the sack, it's asleep too...what a disappointment in the dark. It's fine as a daytime watch, but you can find cheaper and better looking for sure.

The lights were supposed to get charged during the day and switch-on later at night.
1. They didn't switch on themselves and had to manually do it.
2. They didn't even charge enough to last an hour - mind it was a sunny day and still the charge was 20% or less !!

Thinking of taking the pain of winding it back and return it. No point of such lights that don't stay on at night!!

if you are buying this so people next to you cant see what you are doing on your phone DO NOT BUY!  My friend had one and I asked her what she was doing with her phone off.  and she has one on hers, so I went online and got think thinking they were all the same, and it turns out THEY ARE NOT!  The Image they show is NOT how this works.  I can see my screen completely!!! I feel so robbed. I will say that I did not notice a quality difference like the other reviews stated. DO NOT BUY FOR PRIVACY!

Does pretty much everything I want it to do, its just too dam dim during the day. Pretty much totally unreadable if its not pitch black out. Anyone else have this issue?
