One-line verdict
A pixel-display Wi-Fi clock for time, weather and digital clutter, provided your décor can tolerate a tiny information desk manager.
Best for
People who want a compact desk or bedside display for time, weather, timers and selected phone updates.
Skip it if
Skip it if you want an outdoor device, cannot configure it with a compatible smartphone, or prefer your clock to mind its own business.
The full picture
A normal clock has one task: tell you the time, then sit there being quietly judgemental about how late it is. The LaMetric TIME LM 37X8 saw that modest remit and decided a desk needed weather, timers, radio, notifications, social counters and pixel graphics as well. Excessive? Clearly. Rather charming? Also clearly.
This is an indoor LED Wi-Fi clock built around a 37 x 8 white display, plus an 8 x 8 colour panel on the left. It can scroll text, handle Latin, Cyrillic and Japanese characters, and adjusts its brightness automatically through an ambient-light sensor. The result is less “clock radio from a hotel drawer” and more miniature public-information board for your own mildly chaotic life.
We think it earns its place beside more single-minded desk gadgets because it consolidates the small status checks that otherwise lead to an accidental 20-minute phone scroll. Time, weather and a timer can live at eye level; Bluetooth 4.0 also supports music streaming and smartphone notifications. Your phone remains available for its main modern purpose: being somewhere under a receipt, three cables and a biscuit crumb.
There is setup involved, naturally. Configuration needs an iPhone with iOS 10.0 or later or an Android phone with Android 5.0 or later, and the supported Wi-Fi network is 802.11 b/g/n at 2.4 GHz. This is not a lump of reassuringly dumb clockwork. It is a little connected display with opinions about your network.
The Irresistible
- The 37 x 8 LED display combines timekeeping with scrolling information, while the separate 8 x 8 colour section gives icons and pixel art somewhere to make a fuss.
- Built-in Clock, Weather, Radio, Timer and Stopwatch apps cover the useful daily basics without turning the bedside table into a tablet graveyard.
- Social media counters and smartphone notifications make it a genuinely glanceable information display rather than merely a decorative digital clock.
The Clever Part
- Automatic brightness adjustment helps the LED display adapt to ambient light, a sensible feature for a clock likely to spend its life near a bed or desk.
- Bluetooth 4.0 supports music streaming and notifications, with two built-in 2 W stereo speakers for audio from the unit itself.
- A 3.5 mm stereo output allows connection to external speakers, and the box includes a 1.5 m USB cable plus power adapters with EU, US and UK plugs.
- At 20.1 x 6.1 x 3.6 cm and 0.223 kg, it occupies a relatively modest strip of shelf or desk space.
The Fine Print
- Configuration requires a compatible iPhone or Android smartphone, so this is not a plug-in-and-ignore-it clock.
- Its supported Wi-Fi specification is 802.11 b/g/n at 2.4 GHz; network settings are therefore part of the domestic paperwork.
- The external-speaker audio cable is not included, because even a clever little clock cannot resist one final tiny errand.
The Reality Check
- The LaMetric TIME is intended for indoor use only, so it is not the gadget for a patio, shed or garden-office fantasy.
