- Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2022Well designed little desk/table-top clock with a lot of info on the readout. The instructions allow you to change the color and the brightness of the display. Angle is adjustable. Love the 2 USB charging ports. Price is pretty good too. It would make a nice gift.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2018I love this clock! It's display is bright and easy to read. Has time, temp, humidity, date and all are readable. I can easily see the time at night without my glasses. I have it on a nightstand beside my bed, so I don't have it shining in my face. I don't think it lights up the bedroom all that much. When I ordered it, I thought it was pricey, but I knew I could return it if I didn't like it. No way I'm letting this thing go. I've hooked my iphone up to the usb port to charge it and have had no issues. I use the optional color display and just let it drift from one color to the next - it's really neat!
If there's a con to the clock, setting the alarm in the dark is not going to be easy. The buttons are small and are on the back. Wish they were on top. Not an issue if you use the same alarm time every day. There is a button on top to turn it off / on that's easy to find in the dark. I would definitely buy again.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2019Would like to apologize for bashing this product. Out of the box the clock flickered no matter what. But my son, to whom i gave this to as a gift, loved its potential - and i also wished this product could be great! We tried figuring out the problem and finally decided to try replacing the supplied universal ac/adapter with an old adapter that was used to charge a cellularphone - and it did work great! No more flickering and all features works! The culprit was now found! Supplied adapter was the culprit and defective defective! My son decided to keep it and asked me to cancel the return process.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2019Love this clock. Best feature is the ability to customize colors which I change from time to time. I don't use any of the other stuff like alarm but seems to have a good collection of features with snooze buttons on top which I used back in the day when i still used an alarm clock. What I'd like is this clock with no alarms, snoozes, less configure buttons at half the price. Alarm functionality is Alexa or apple watch form here on out. BUY.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2020I loved the sleek modern look of this clock. Our existing clock was an old clock radio. With the advent of Alexa devices we no longer needed the radio and I didn't like the bulkiness of the clock radio, so I ordered two of these so my wife and I could each have one next to our side of the bed. I loved the big bright lights and the abiliity to plug my cell phone charging cord right into the front of the clock. But my wife didn't like the bright light because it kept her awake. I showed her how to dim the display and now we are both very pleased with our new clocks. Great product!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2021i got two of these from the same 1116 lot (what they ship in 2021) and returned one for refund (thanks Amazon). clock accuracy may seem silly when you consider you'll need to time change these manually every 6 months, but i needed a second hand i could trust for financial market watching reasons. (against NIST) one clock was 10 seconds fast per month while the other clock was 2 seconds slow per month, so it would seem getting an accurate crystal is a crap shoot here.
i used a salt bath calibrated B07YY1FB9D (which was double checked against nearby weather service readings while in the shade outdoors to further confirm accuracy). i determined that one humidistat was wild and seemed to report random numbers ±9% while the second one was +7% at low humidify and +5% at high humidify, which means if i could manually recalibrate this clock then it's humidity% would be reporting fairly accurately.
accuracy junkies like myself should be patient with any device you buy, as you need a few weeks of observation for the humidity% to refine a bit on any new humidistat. be advised if you live an a dry climate, this clock reports "LOW" once under 20% and considering it's calibrated high, that would mean any reading under 27% will show up as "LOW" so if you need that number to be reported well down into the teens, don't depend solely on this clock.
if we could recalibrate this thing and it had daylight savings clock change logic built into it - this would be a ultimate clock to have, but sadly Marathon designers missed the mark... yet it's still better at this price point than anything else out there, particularly if you need a wide viewing angle LED (to read across a dark room) instead of LCD. other features such as alarm and usb charging are not needed by me, so i don't comment on those here, but it's nice to know they can assist should i need them.

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2021Love this quality alarm beside my nightstand. My old alarm couldn’t be relied on and wanted to upgrade mine. We have a couple of other Marathon clocks so trust their products. The USB ports come in very handy for recharging my reading lamp. The brightness adjusts perfectly for sleeping.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2017Defect #1:
This clock can be wall mounted but only with great difficulty. The reason is that the power cord comes out directly from the back. Therefore, in order to wall mount this clock, a 3.0-inch shelf would need to be created on the wall.
Defect #2:
Marathon shows a misleading photograph of this clock displaying several colors at the exact same time. After receiving this clock from Amazon, the buyer will realize that this clock can display only 1 color at one time.
Comments:
This is a great clock for showing off and impressing your guests. The light blue color is especially beautiful and might very likely become your permanent 1 color. The "Auto" mode can be left on indefinitely and causes this clock to automatically go through all 25.6 colors - but it can display only 1 color at one time.

4.0 out of 5 stars This clock is a good deal
First we bought this exact same clock for three times more money. Then we thought, we should check Amazon. And sure enough there it was under 20 bucks.
My husband who thinks you can never have too many, wanted another so I got him another.

Lo tuve que devolver, no me dejaba dormir porque el dimmer no funcionaba bien. Quedaba muy brillante lamentablemente porque el reloj sí me gustaba.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good clock
Bought this for my 8 year old and he loves it. Easy to set, clear numbers and I like that it has a battery backup. My son loves the colour changing feature also. A little pricey for a clock but I would recommend it.
