Product Information
Full details
The Wm Widdop Oblong Alarm Clock in black is an ideal choice for individuals seeking a minimalist, modern aesthetic for their bedroom or workspace. Its primary strength lies in its high-contrast readability and silent sweep movement, which eliminates the disruptive ticking noise associated with traditional clocks. A key caveat for potential users is that, as an analog device, it requires manual battery maintenance and lacks the advanced digital features found in smart-home assistants.

FAQs
Is the ticking noise audible?
No, this clock features a silent sweep movement, which creates a smooth motion rather than a ticking sound.
What type of battery does this clock require?
The clock requires standard AA or AAA alkaline batteries (please refer to the battery compartment label for the specific size).
Does the clock have a light for nighttime viewing?
No, this model does not feature a backlight or luminous hands.
How do I activate the snooze function?
Once the alarm sounds, press the designated snooze button on the top or rear of the clock to pause the alarm for a few minutes.
Can this clock be hung on a wall?
This model is designed primarily as a tabletop alarm clock and does not feature built-in wall-mounting hardware.
Troubleshooting
The clock hands are not moving
Check that the battery is installed correctly and has sufficient charge. Ensure the hands are not physically obstructed.
The alarm is not sounding at the correct time
Verify that the alarm hand is set precisely to the desired wake-up time and that the alarm switch is toggled to the 'on' position.
Clock is losing time
This is typically a sign of a depleted battery. Replace the battery with a fresh alkaline cell to restore accurate timekeeping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Wm Widdop clock, install a fresh battery into the rear compartment, ensuring the positive and negative terminals are aligned correctly. Use the adjustment dial on the back to set the current time, and the alarm dial to set your desired wake-up time. To maintain the device, wipe the exterior periodically with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to prevent dust buildup on the casing. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the matte black finish. If the clock loses time or the alarm becomes weak, replace the battery immediately with a high-quality alkaline equivalent.
