Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of American Innovative Neverlate 7-Day Alarm ClockCustomer Review: Good idea bad design Summary: 1 StarsThe Neverlate is a nice idea badly executed. To give you an idea of what I mean here is what happened when I first tried to use it. When I plugged it in around midnight, the clock showed 12:00 noon so the first thing I had to do is set the clock. This is done by rotating a ring around the control button for setting the weekday. To change the time you put your fingers on the ring and rotate it, taking care not to rotate the weekday setting that is inside the ring. The most I can rotate the ring on a single turn of my wrist is about 5 minutes. So I started rotating - the ring does not rotate easily and clicks for each minute of rotation. The noise it makes is enough to wake up someone asleep in the same room. To change the time by 12 hrs it would take 12 of my wrist rotations for each hour, or 144 twists of the wrist in all. By the time I had done a couple of hours worth my wrist was sore. But that's not all. While rotating the ring you have to make sure not to accidentally move the day indicator which is a raised button in the middle of the ring. I brushed against the weekday button a few times with my fingers as I worked away at rotating the time ring. Each time you move the time ring while the weekday button is set at some place other than off, you activate that day at whatever time you happen to have moved it to (that's a default "feature" of the clock). The result is that you set the alarm and so it ends up going off at random times through the week. The design of the time setting mechanism for both time and alarm is one of the worst designs I have ever seen for this purpose. If it were easier to set time, say by allowing you to set hours independently of minutes this would make a bit more sense, although the twisting of a ring close to the day setting is a bad idea.
After my first random alarm went off I took the Neverlate back to the store where I bought it - I'd rather be late that have repetitive stress pain in my wrist and to be awoken at random times.
