Although this clock was advertised on Amazon's site as "7.5 x 5.2 inches" in size, the two clocks I received were only 3.5 x 3.5 inches; suitable as bedside clocks, but too small for office, den or living room display.

These go for quite a bit more in blue, and for under $20 you can learn to read one of these gadgets. I find myself having to figure it out constantly, but it does what is says.

The photos of this clock typically show the time in Binary-coded decimal (BCD) which is easier to read I hear.

It can be set to True binary, and that is how I use it.

It can be set to display time in 12 hours, or 24 hours.

It is very easy to read once you get used to it, and is a good clock.

Had I not taken a binary math course in college I wouldn't have know what a binary clock was the first time I saw one. This unit is a nice size for a desk clock. It has four modes, regular or miliraty time, and you can select either vertical or horizontal operation. You cange either with the press of a button. Put two side by side, never in the same mode, and change the modes each day. Just tell people it's a clock. When they ask the obvious question, just tell them it's easy to figure out. Just don't tell them how.

Its great to see what I learned in school made into a clock. My kids were so interested in how it worked that I bought the Blue LED one as well, and I cannot get it out of their room. The red one is at work and everyone ask what the heck it is!!!!

I got this product as a gift for my brother that has everything.... he is really into computer programming, and loves this binary-stuff. He loves the clock :) Me however, it takes me a good 5 minutes to finally figure out the time ;-)

that rhymes. i think i found the name of my band.

it's otherwise cool.
