What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This is a small novelty clock shaped like a penguin that speaks the current time aloud when you press its hat. It's designed for someone who has difficulty reading a standard clock face due to low vision or blindness, but also works well for anyone who simply prefers an auditory time check. You get a complete, ready-to-use standalone device — just insert two AAA batteries and set the time. The display digits are only half an inch tall, so despite having a visual display, the real utility here is the spoken time feature rather than reading the screen.
