Many years later, as you faced the latest smart phone, you were to remember that distant afternoon when you stared at the clock in a daze. Do you remember the small alarm clock on the bedside years ago? Do you remember the ticking sound of your favorite mechanical watch? In this rush and noisy era, clocks and watches are being replaced by the flickering numbers on screens. Only then did we discover that clocks are not just for looking at time. Then, there is such a clock app full of retro feelings. Watching the march of hands, listening to the tick of gears, feeling the texture of time, everything calms down, as if returning to the past. . . ============================ This product contains no ads.

Cuckoo's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 10 months) and review sentiment (68% vs 50%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
