I have this in my great room above my bay window, the only analog clock in my house.
It's a great novelty item, everyone notices it and gets a kick out of it.
The circle that makes up the face is a thin piece, mounted on the square that houses the battery and mechanical parts behind it, so the circle will not sit flush on a wall. And the mount is in the middle of the top of that smaller square in back, making it tougher to find the right hanging point for mounting it.
Other than that, it works well, keeps pretty good time actually, only has to be adjusted a couple minutes each month.
On quiet nights though when I'm just working on my laptop and nothing is on the TV, you can hear the tick tick tick though, so if you're a person who doesn't like the ticking noise, you won't want this hanging anywhere that gets quiet.

First of all, I love this clock. I got it as a birthday present and it looks great on my wall.
Now, on to the one problem with it. The expression that is supposed to evaluate to 9, which is 3 * (pi - 0.14), actually evaluates to around 9.00477. Pi is irrational, so you can't express a natural number like 9 with an expression containing pi. I'm sure this has driven many other mathematicians insane, and I seem to be the first one to speak up about it.
Other than that slightly anal comment, its a great clock!

As a former math teacher, I was drawn to this clock! I have purchased it for a former co-worker, who is also a friend, for Christmas. It should be a hit in his room. I was impressed with how quickly this arrived. I ordered Tuesday night and received it before noon on Friday. Since it didn't qualify for Prime, I'm glad it arrived quickly so I feel I got something for having to pay for shipping!

Very noisy
I bought this for our son's room since he is a big science boy. The clock looks nice but the tick tick tick noise at night is annoying. We had to take it down.

Clever, but stopped working
I love the idea of this clock but after several months, the second hand got stuck on something. Time literally stopped. I couldn't get it to work properly. Save you money. Read more

Great gimmick, less-than-perfect execution
I like everything about the concept of this clock. Unfortunately the high-gloss finish makes it difficult to read at any distance.
