Use Cases
How to use
Read the grid of letters: the lit-up letters spell the current time as a sentence, such as IT IS A QUARTER PAST NINE, and refresh every second.
Choose a face with the style buttons under the grid - Classic, Minimal, Neon for a glowing look, or Warm for an amber background.
Click one of the six coloured dots to change the accent colour of the lit letters between purple, blue, green, red, orange and pink.
Press the Seconds button to add seconds to the small digital time readout printed beneath the grid.
Check that digital line whenever you need the exact time, because the word grid rounds to the nearest five minutes.
