I recently got the new Alarmo clock themed around Animal Crossing, and I was really excited about it. But I’ve been having a frustrating experience because it’s almost impossible to see the time from farther away. The issue seems to be that they’ve placed bright colored blocks behind the white numbers, which just makes everything look like a mess of colors when you’re not right next to it. I’m baffled that nobody thought this would be a problem, especially for a clock! Has anyone else noticed this issue?

This clock’s meant for close-up use on a nightstand or desk. If you need to see the time from afar, a wall clock might be a better choice.
Totally agree with you! The sounds are nice, but as a clock, it’s pretty useless. If they insisted on using that orange background, they should have made the numbers black. It would have helped a lot!
Exactly! I’m considering keeping it just for the sounds, but I guess I’ll have to use my phone for the actual time.
I was really into this update too until I realized how hard it is to read the time. I switched back to the Zelda version after noticing it.
I don’t own an Alarmo clock myself, but I’d love to see some pictures of the display if anyone has them. How does it look compared to the others?
Yup, same here! It’s super difficult to check the time without getting closer. So disappointed! 😓
I’ve had no trouble seeing other settings’ times from across the room. I intentionally keep mine far away so I actually have to get up to turn it off!
