Can do better
The clock is working fine, sounds nice and looks good too. Is bulky however, if you want or need to to bring it to different sites to practice. I also did not recall reading anywhere that the bell sounds were actually -an electronically produced sound of bells- and not "live" bells as I naively thought given the size of the pyramid.<br />Having said that, is the bulky pyramid needed to accommodate a small chip and timer? and if so, should meditation clocks in general be that expensive in the era of chip electronics? It seems we are a captive market and we pay for it. I'll recommend letting go of the "wanting of a specialized timer to practice" and just settle in with much less expensive clocks/timers in the market and to the need to hear bells. In the meantime I'll continue to practice while letting my  judgments and the lifespan of the clock pass.<br />In kindness.
