On the upside you do not need to be able to read an analog clock face to tell time with this LED Word Clock. On the downside, you do need to be able to read. But on the upside again, word nerds the world over, rejoice! You can now use a reflection of your soul to determine that it's a quarter past two or ten to six. Never mind that time will cease to exist outside of 5-minute increments; that's not a downside, it's rational rounding. A small, necessary price to pay for grammatical elegance.
The LED Word Clock illuminates the time in words from its grid, changing every 5 minutes. It is made of durable plastic and measures 8" x 8" x 1-1/2".
