Looks good. Now it's time to build my time machine.
Looks good in most colors. Going from pinks to red to orange there is only one that looks red.Tubes are easy to install and only go in one way. The magnets that hold the tubes in place are strong enough to stay in place when held upside down. There is NO BLUETOOTH (would be nice to see that or a remote). There is no dimming the light but there is a on/off button.

Aviod!
It's a beautiful piece, however, quality control is non-existent. I bought this for my office thinking it would be a nice addition, but as I assembled the item I noticed that it was missing screws, as if the technician forgot to look at the piece before signing off on it. After deciding on getting a replacement, the second clock had a magnet loose and the center button was stuck. During my short time owning this clock, I realized it was overpriced and I will be looking for a more affordable and higher-quality replacement. I hope this review prevented someone from some headaches.

This Thing Is Mesmerizing
I bought this because of Steins;gate. I love the look of the Nixie Tubes and I thought this would be a cool piece and I was entirely right. The controls are easy, the buttons are nice. The installation and packaging was great and this thing is so...mesmerizing. Like, I have not looked at a clock for so long since I stopped taking algebra. Great purchase

Good concept, so-so execution
Updated Updated. After less than a year, several of the functions on the clock stopped working but the tubes were still good (could tell from the features that worked). I reached out to the manufacturer (took a couple of tries) and was able to get a replacement base for the clock. Things seem to be working better now. They seem to have made a few improvements to the base so the buttons so far are not sticking and it no longer requires this dinky little tool to switch between 12/24 hours (which was easy to lose). It appears that they are trying to incrementally improve this product, and I hope they keep going as it has great potential. Can now sort of recommend based on the improvements and more importantly the vendor standing behind the product. Will see what happens over the next few months if it holds up...Updated review. I replaced my clock because of the button stick issue. My second clock and this time the right button is stuck, the one that controls the mode and the ability to turn it on/off. I think there is something fundamentally wrong with the manufacturing of this box. At the moment, the button is completely depressed and there is no way for me to turn the clock on/off or change modes. This item is way too expensive for this lack of quality... I would NOT recommend purchasing.This is a great idea with so-so execution and hence overpriced for what it is. Once you get it set up and if you are no longer going to adjust the setting it actually looks/works pretty well within your room with the caveats below.1) Some of the tubes wobble since they are magnetically held and the base and the tubes do not line up perfectly. I was able to do a little better by moving the tubes around (position to position, they still wobble, just less) but for the price, they should lock in perfectly, no matter which position since they do not have assigned slots. The tubes themselves also do not feel 100% solid and a little concerned that they could come apart...2) The number brightness varies greatly based on the number being displayed since each number is in its own panel. The numbers with panels closer to the front are way brighter than the ones in the back. They are all seeable but some of the numbers are on the dimmer side.3) The 3 control buttons stick with my left-most button for the setting/cycling of color being pretty useless since once I press it, it stays stuck in for about 5 minutes.4) Some of the extra settings where it just cycles through flashing colors, #s, etc. are silly. It never stops on the time. Not sure the point. You will never leave it on these settings.5) The "manual" is awful6) There is a reference to being able to install a battery (I presume as a backup for a power outage) on the "manual" sheet but could not figure out how to do. It looks like you have to take the unit apart and due to the "shakiness" of the construction, not sure this is something I was willing to tackle...

Does not match description. Outrageously overpriced.
The media could not be loaded. Assembling is easy at first, but getting all the lamps to work isn’t. I had to switch between different ones and rotate a couple lanps to get them all to work. There is technically no manual (only one sheet with bad English and the rest is Chinese). There is no “auto-setup” as described. I could not get it to connect to wifi. Clicking the main button three times would turn it off and not make it connect to wifi. I tried so many times.. to no avail. The lamps are plastic and look cheap. A friend came in a saw the clock and his first comment was “it looks cheap.” This is a whopping $180 purchase for a small clock. I expected an actual manual, better materials, wifi connectivity (as described), at the very least. It’s basically a scam. Returning and reporting to Amazon to hopefully remove it from the site.

would recommend, a few small things bugged me a bit.
I bought this because i like the old Nixie tubes and thought it was cool. It is cool!it's easily assembled, the tube have magnets in them that click them in the right way, so there's no guessing. The documentation was not really great, but you can figure it out pretty easily. I can't speak to the longevity or the accuracy, because i only just set it up today.There were a couple small things about it that bothered me, which is why it only got 4 stars.First, the bottom is not completely flat, so it rocks back and forth a little bit. Not a big deal, it just bugged me.Second, it comes with a usb power cord, but no plug to plug it into an outlet. So you're going to need an extra usb plug to use with it if you plan to plug it into an electrical outlet. Regular usb, not usb-c. Luckily i had an extra laying around.third, it came with a little thing that looked like an automotive fuse. i almost did not see it in the box, it just happened to be sticking to one of the magnets on the tubes. it appeared to go into a hole beneath one of the tubes. but with the fuse inserted, the tube didn't fit. it took me a while to figure out that you could put the fuze in the holes and wiggle it back and forth, and change the time from 24 to 12 hour.All in all, i would recommend it or purchase it as a gift for someone else.

Niche but relatively good products
I bought this because of the anime Steins;Gate. It's a pretty niche market and not so many are selling it. So it's expected that it's quite expensive. But the actual product does look quite close to Steins;Gate's divergence meter, and has a practical use value as a clock.My only complaint is the buttons on mine tend to be stuck once pressed. So for some operations that require multiple clicks, it's quite tough to do.
