FAQs

What type of battery does the Mini Desktop Golf Ball Clock use?

The clock typically requires a standard AA or AAA battery, depending on the specific movement. Please check the product packaging or the back of the clock mechanism for the exact battery type required. Batteries are usually not included.

How do I set the time on the clock?

To set the time, locate the small adjustment knob on the back of the clock mechanism. Gently pull it out or turn it to move the clock hands to the desired time. Once set, push the knob back in or return it to its original position.

Is the golf ball casing made of actual golf ball material?

The casing is designed to mimic the appearance of a golf ball with a dimpled texture, offering a realistic look. It is typically made from durable plastic or resin.

What are the dimensions of the clock?

The clock is described as 'compact'. While exact dimensions vary, it is designed to fit comfortably on desktops, bedside tables, or shelves without taking up significant space.

How should I clean the clock?

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For the clock face and casing, a slightly damp cloth can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For the wooden base, use only a dry or very lightly damp cloth to prevent damage.

Is this clock suitable as a gift?

Yes, it is specifically marketed as an ideal gift for golfers, sports enthusiasts, Father's Day, retirements, tournaments, and corporate awards due to its unique design.

Does the gold bezel tarnish?

The gold-tone bezel is designed for aesthetic appeal. While generally resistant, like most plated finishes, prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals could affect its appearance over time. Regular dusting helps maintain its finish.

Troubleshooting

Clock is not ticking or keeping time

Ensure a fresh battery is correctly installed. Check that the time adjustment knob is fully pushed in after setting the time.

Hands are not moving correctly

Try re-setting the time using the adjustment knob. If the hands are physically obstructed, gently try to free them or contact customer support.

Wooden base appears dull

Gently wipe the base with a soft, dry cloth. For a slight sheen, you can use a wood polish specifically designed for small decorative items, applying it sparingly.
