I've been playing with this for about a day and a half now — and I admit some of the subtleties of programming it are still eluding me; I'm heading for a video about that one day. But not today! I've got it set up now (SOMEhow, not sure exactly how; I will not be changing it any time soon in case I can't readily get this look back) so each cube is pulsing in different random colors, and it's beautiful to look at. One of my programming stymies has been that I can't seem to get it in 12 hour mode (vs. 24-hour mode, ie military time) but I've decided I prefer 24-hour mode anyway at this point. (it gives that first cube a bit more to do!)
I have it positioned below my TV, where I previously had another "normal" clock, and at first I worried that the time was too hard to "read" on this clock, and — depending on the pulsing — it CAN take me a couple of seconds to "read" the time, during the day. (It gets much brighter in a room which is not sunlit, duh.) But I've decided I like that TOO! If you want to know the time, there it is right in front of you. But if you DON'T care about the time at the moment, it's not all "in your face" about it. (of course, you can also set it so that it does NOT pulse and change colors; but I don't think I'll be doing that any time soon.)
I love it. And, unlike the plain jane clock it's replacing, it actually seems to tell time pretty well so far, too.
