TIX Color Code LED Clock, Black Review

This clock is definitely a conversation starter!
Quality of build seems good. The brushed aluminum faceplate is nice. LED's aren't too bright or too dim (they are adjustable). Detailed instructions are included.
If you're interested in this clock then you are probably drawn to it for the visual appeal alone. It tells the time. Nothing more, nothing less (no alarm or AM/PM designation). Watching it change every four seconds (can be adjusted) is just fun. Once you get used to it, it's really easy to tell the time at a glance.
The only downsides (and these aren't really negatives) are that it is somewhat small in size and if you have bad eyes you are going to have trouble counting the blocks. Then again...if you have bad eyes you would have trouble with most LED/digital clocks anyways. ;x
This is one of my favorite purchases I've made in quite some time and I highly recommend it.

TIX Color Code Clock, Silver Review

This clock is great for a quick "binary like" time read. Very hypnotic to watch and a simple yet functional design. Satisfies my love for geeky gadgets.
One thing I wish it had were the instructions etched on the back. (I keep losing my paper ones) and when you unplug it, there is not a cap/bat inside to keep the time long enough to move it or anything without having to reset it. Typical for a clock, but more challenging with this device and no instructions.
Additionally, I personally prefer it in 24 hour mode (aka military) which I can never remember without the instructions. ;)
I've taken a photo of the instructions and have placed a link to them below in case anyone needs it for reference.

Powers of 2 Binary Clock Review

Powers of 2 Binary Clock
Average Reviews:

A present from my son. It gives a new way of looking at what time it is--there are analog timepieces, there are digital timepieces, and now there are binary timepieces. If a light is on only in the lowest row=1, light on only in second row=2, light on only in lowest two rows=3, light on only in third row=4, and so on. You can look at this clock as a simple amusement about different ways of seeing what time it is, and you can look at it and use it to help you contemplate how humans think/talk in different languages, and how those humans might think differently inside and never realize the many ways it is possible that other humans may think and perceive the world differently. After all, this clock is about telling one basic thing, time, in a different way than you ever have before. What about all the other experiences we humans may look at in different ways/ OK, down from the heavy stuff, it's a neat toy to put on your desk, yet still a reminder that there are a lot of different ways of looking at such basic things as "what time it is".
