AILILIFE 3D Clock Hands, DIY Large Clock Movement Mechanism with 12 Inch Long Spade Hand, 3D Wall Clocks Home Decor

Bought this to replace an identical unit that I thought was no longer working properly. Cudos to the seller on how this was packaged. It was packaged safely in styrofoam and included detailed instructions on how to put it together and hang it. Surprisingly, the instructions were so good that they allowed me to repair my old unit. I'm keeping the new one though. A word to the wise, the clock hands are very delicate and bend easily if you're not careful. Be gentle. I am pleased with the quality of the clock and how well that it is working. It looks amazing on the wall.

At first I was worried that it's not telling time accurately. All you have to do it calibrate the handles. Put both handles on top of each other, parallely, and adjust the clock. I had to do it like 3 times in the beginning for it to work properly. Has some tickling noise but very subtle. I'm sensitive to noise but it doesn't bother me at all. I decorated my clock background with frozen characters.

I had to replace the original hands that came with a custom repurposed wood clock. I ordered the hands a few inches too short, and the body circumference too great (barely doesn’t look awkward), but apart from my failure the replace for the legacy unit is what I needed. The original unit had a covered back with a nail/screw slit on the plastic cover. This one has no back cover, and the body is hung by a plastic piece that is secured to a base by (3) tiny nail-like objects. It was easy to hammer them into the wood. The good news for me is that small wood circle (removable) that held the legacy unit is fully covered by the new unit, and thanks to how the new unit is secured looks beautifully centered. Instructions are simple to follow. Assembly consists of securing the minute and hour hands to the unit. Make sure to align them both to 12 o’clock before inserting the battery. Move the hands with the dial ONLY (I’ve seen the manual movement of the clock hands ruin the mechanisms on these devices). 72 hours later time is kept as needed. There is a sheen on the hands that picks up sunlight, giving the clock a warm feel. I’d buy this again.

It works well and it’s a good looking piece, but the mount is different. It’s a round plastic piece with a tab on top for the mechanism to slide onto. It has three metal rods in it that you are supposed to hammer into the wall to secure it. Fine for drywall, but if you are mounting to a hard surface, you’ll need to get creative, maybe remove the pins and glue it. It comes with 2 in case you break 5he first trying to mount it.

Bought to replace a different set of clock hands I had for over 8yrs & the minute hand fell completely off after 2 weeks. Tried to fix, with no luck. Very disappointing. Maybe I got a bad one, but I won’t buy again to replace.

Inexpensive and a fun way to fill up some wall space. This replaced a similar clock from another manufacturer that cost 3 times more and lasted only 18 months. For the price of this one if it lasts only 18 months it will be money well spend. The hands are aluminium and can easily be accidentally bent if you are not careful, not a complaint just an observation. The instructions are poorly translated by Chinese seller.. Example "The movement is a precision instrument, please do not violent assemble." I was gentle! Since I already had numbers on the wall from the previous clock installation took perhaps 10 minutes including taking it out of the box. The clock was nicely packaged and I doubt one would arrive with damage the packaging is that good, in my opinion. You do need to stop at the "dollar store" to get an old fashioned carbon battery as instructions say do not use an alkaline, lithium or rechargeable AA battery. I got a package of 6 for a dollar at the store as I could not buy just one. Interesting, the battery package said for "low drain products such as a clock." B. C. Aronson's husband Tod. 9-15-2019

I was absolutely pleased with how easy this was to use for my wall clock project, in fact I ended up making two, his and hers. But the icing on the cake; It’s been about 6 months and it’s still keeping time, best guess with in a minute. My clock is more of a sculpture decoration, not meant to be precise time clock, so the fact that they are both still matching and keeping time, I couldn’t be more pleased.

I had to return this item. I ordered it to replace the one I bought 4 years ago from Hobby Lobby. It finally stopped working, but I can't complain. It was only $20 and I got my money's worth and then some. Unfortunately, Hobby Lobby no longer sells it so I purchased this particular clock mechanism from Amazon instead. I immediately noticed that the round part of the clock mechanism does not have a back cover. When i say "back cover", i mean the part where the battery is inserted. Please understand that the battery is safe in it's compartment and will not come out, however, I always feel the need to put a cover over the back (that's just my personal preference). The problem of not having a back for me is that I wanted to put a command strip on the back cover and stick it on the wall just as I done with the previous one i had. Without a cover on the back, I was unable to stick it on my wall the way I wanted to. I sent it back and ordered a different one from a different seller. I hope the new one i ordered has a back covering. The description on most of these clock mechanisms doesn't say whether it has a back or not. I automatically assumed they all have back coverings, but apparently I was wrong. I want to clarify that the clock itself actually worked once a battery is inserted. Again, for me, i needed to have a back to cover it.
