This is a strange one. The words light up, and you read the time.

An interesting gimmick, but not terribly usable as a clock. I have a feeling people would get tired of using it very quickly.

Definitely! Too slow! I like glancing at an analog clock to get the time.

They don't teach the kids today how to read an analog clock! My buddy was laughing (behind her back) at his daughter inability to read a clock.

I'm sure they can sell the clock. I'll take two for gag gifts today.LOL

I have to write a webpage version of that. (I wrote a binary clock for a webpage a few years ago)

I'm able to read both analog and digital clocks so it doesn't make any difference which one I glance at.

I have a 24 hour clock for my ham radio station. The best thing about it is that UTC doesn't change to daylight savings time twice a year.
