DayClocks SCO Small Contemporary Oak

- Bought this Clock for an family member challenged by day of the week. You pay a premium to have the 'day of week' feature AND time of day in one clock. You could buy a cheap wall clock and a separate day of week clock for less than this unit. But it was not my choice.- Plastic parts (including the simulated wood grain) and a single standard AA battery powered motor. Arrived safely and undamaged inside a cardboard box. Clock's own packaging is a cardboard tray with clear film covering the clock. Clock is fairly light weight, so that a small nail should hold it up on a wall. It does not tick nor does it have an audible motor whine like some clocks have. Keeps relatively good time so far and the red "day hand" works fine. The large hands do not seem difficult to see from across the room. Not sure about battery consumption or longevity of the clock. One star removed for cost, uncertainty about longevity, and uncertainty about battery consumption.

I was looking for something to help my mother remember what day 'today' was. Too many times, she'd taken today's and tomorrow's pills on the same day. I had browsed the internet and was almost at the point of spending $150 on a digital version when I found this item. The clock arrived quickly and was packed in a bombproof manner. Removing it from the shipping materials was difficult. If you are giving this as a gift to a person with hand strength issues, do them a favor and unpack and set it up for them.Once out of the box, it had a nice look. Setting the clock's red day-of-the-week hand to accurately point to the approximate time within the day is a bit fussy. It's been on the wall in my mother's kitchen and is helping her with her calendar/pills/appointments issues. She still has issues with the two "S" days at week's end. Ah well! I think that this is an excellent idea at a reasonable price.One caveat: pay the right price. After I'd purchased this clock, I received another Amazon email suggesting I buy it for about eight dollars less than I paid.

Pros:Oak wood frame is actually nicest feature of the clock.Otherwise its just a clock with a neat feature (days of the week) but I'm more concerned with workmanship...which brings me to:Cons:Hands were misaligned. When pointed to 12 one of the hands was significantly off. So I had to take out the four screws holding the cardboard (yep you read that right) clock face off and torque the hand into place.This is a Chinese build and I'm already a bit remorseful I paid $40 for it plus tax. Its a cardboard clock face with standard plastic inner workings (gears, wheels, knobs...) you find on clocks at less than half this price point.I'm watching to see if it keeps correct time otherwise back it goes.

This clock is the perfect size for what I wanted, it is nicely made, and it really has helped me know what day it is! I have it in my office and I get so busy some weeks IO never know what day it is. It is so nice to just look up and there it is. i now I could look at my desktop screen but this just seems so much more friendly! I loved it so much I bought two and gave one to a friend for Christmas. She and her husband love it too. I agree I am glad I bought this one instead of the other one available. The logo across the entire front would really take away form this clock. There is no distracting logo on this clock.

Slightly nautical look to it, with the wood frame and the curved glass, a slight porthole look. Can't imagine my lady giving this wall space on her living room wall, more like something for a guy's den. Fellow retirees do not see this as a joke; they look at it and pronounce it "useful". Unlike other versions reviewed, it does not carry advertising emblazoned across the face, it does not have a loud tick, and you do not have to stand on your head to see Wednesday and Thursday. Well worth the slightly higher price.

Has anyone received an actual oak clock? I received one of these a month ago, and it sure doesn't feel like oak to me. It feels like plastic in the front, and "fake" oak on the bottom. The only way I can tell for sure would be to drill into it. and I'm not ready to do that yet!Other than that, the clock is fine - no problems so far.

This is a great clock. I bought the first Day Clock for my husband who has dementia and never knows what day it is. It is very easy to read. It runs on a battery and he has had it for almost two years and it's still going. It has a nice oak frame.For myself, I bought the Day and Time clock, same company, so when I get up I know what day and time it is. This would be a great gift for someone in assisted living or nursing home, because they are inside most of the time, and they lose track of time.

I was amazed how quickly my order was delivered and in perfect condition. I, however, should have read the description more closely. I was debating between 2 different clocks based on looks and didn't realize this one was 2" smaller than the other. I'm not sure I made the correct choice due to the size but other than that it looks exactly like I wanted. Judging by reviews on the other choice I was spared the advertisement on the face of the other clock. I am glad this one doesn't have anything on the face of the clock other than the day & time.

Came quickly and packaged very well . Installed battery , adjusted the day and time and it has been keeping perfect time and day ever since . I get a lot of comments , people like it .

Received in excellent condition, easy to set, great addition to my sewing room. Now I will know, not only the time but also what day it is on those marathon sewing binges lol.

Nothing to dislike

It is the perfect give for retirement!! We tend to forget which day it is!

While it's great at doing at what it's designed to do the Font is small and makes it hard to read, Would be better with a sweep hand too as the Red Month hand makes it look like seconds at first glance.
