Funny
It works!

Works but definitely overpriced
The clock works fine. The clock light worked for the first few days. And it wud turn on almost like a motion sensor. No clap to turn on. Then that function stopped working. I’m sure the batteries died since it kept turning on for no reason. No instructions. Don’t buy it at this price. Not worth it.

So far, has solved my issue and works well
I bought this product to solve a problem for which I honestly didn't think there was a solution.My problem? We have a bathroom with little counter space or wall space to hang a conventional clock where you could see it while looking at the large mirror above the sink. One solution would be to just mount a clock on the wall behind me, and either turn around to check the time, or learn to tell time by looking at a mirrored clock face. I'm honestly cheap enough to try this, but my wife says she has better things to do.If only somebody made a clock that ran backwards with a mirrored face, then I could hang the clock on the opposing wall from the mirror and look into the mirror to read it normally. Voila, this is that clock. I don't know why this type of thing is being sold as "unusual", "wacky", "mad" or "gimmicky" clock, as its best purpose is simply being able to read the normal time when looking at it through the mirror. I would literally call this product an "Analog Clock for Mirrors".So, yes! Problem solved. We got the product, easily unpacked the clock, installed 1 AA battery for the clock and mounted on the wall opposite the mirror. And in the PLUS column, I think this is the nicest looking version of these kinds of clocks. I really like this clock face. My initial intent was to buy a more minimalist clock to test out this use, but I'm glad I went with this more expensive, but nicer looking design.It's fair to say that the clock looks bizarre when you look at the clock from any other vantage point (except for looking at it through the mirror), for example, when maybe sitting on the toilet. Your guests may think they are having a stroke. For us, this is not overly disturbing. Some might call it interesting. If I update this review at some point, I'll leave details from the impressions gathered by visitors. It also showed me just how hard it is to tell time using this clock in its "backward/reversed" view. I suppose someone really interested in mastering it could do it, but when I casually glance at the clock (through normal view) and try to figure it out, I usually end up with the wrong time.On the MINUS column, this product is listed (as with many other backwards, reverse-face analog clocks from this and similar sellers) as a quiet and "Silent Non Ticking" clock. This is an outright lie. This product ticks. It's definitely audible and it's definitely every second. I can also say that in our case, I don't really notice the ticking outside of the bathroom. For example, standing in the hallway connected to the bathroom, it is barely noticeable. It seems like others may have received louder units though.In our case, the clock is mounted in a bathroom with a quiet (but not silent) exhaust fan that is tied to the light switch, so whenever the light is on (which is almost always the case, even during daylight hours) then the sound of this clock ticking will be drowned out by the low volume of the exhaust fan. But if you intended to mount this clock in a sleeping area, I hope you are cool with the constant "tick", "tick", "tick" sound repeating forever 24/7 as you try to fall asleep.Some other product owners have commented on the unique "Sound Activated LED Lighting". This clock has a ring of LED lights around the clock face that can presumably be activated with the clap of the hands, or perhaps even barking "Lights on!". I say presumably, because I didn't even attempt to use this feature. It appears to take a number of batteries, and I believe the complaints by other users who say the batteries wore out soon. I also really don't have a reason to use this feature as I always turn on the bathroom light when entering the room (which would be before I would ever look at the clock in the mirror). I can at least assure you this, though, there are two separate battery compartments: one for the clock and one for the sound activation and LED lighting system. So I can confirm you can use the clock time-keeping functionality without worrying about battery life from the sound/LED system.A final word to the wise, for a long time, ordered specific items from Amazon. Now, (behind Google and YouTube) Amazon is my go to search for solutions. For example, I have one of those configurable metal wire shelving units and broke one of the plastic shelving anchors. I thought I'd be stuck having to buy an entire new shelving unit. Nope. Amazon sells those individual pieces for various systems in various sizes! If you can think of a product (like a "mirror clock") then Amazon can help you find it (if it exists) and I've been very surprised at the number of inconceivable ideas that actually do exist as purchasable products.

Motion sensor
This clock definitely needs a sensitivity switch for the noise sensor for the LEDs.Also, the LEDs are much to bright.

Inspect before shipping?
Have ordered 2 times and both times I received a clock with a problem. Hoping to get a clock that isn't defective.
