The QiYi Magnetic Clock is, based on the traditional Rubiks clock, which is not produced anymore. Both the pins and gears work with magnets, which is an new innovation by QiYi.
The Clock is a two-sided puzzle showing nine clock-like images on each side. The aim of the puzzle is to set all nine clocks to 12 o'clock (straight up) on both sides of the puzzle.
There are four wheels, one at each corner of the puzzle, each allowing the corresponding corner clock to be rotated directly. The corner clocks, unlike the other clocks, turn on both sides simultaneously.
There are also four pins located between the clocks which span both sides of the puzzle. The state of each Pin (in or out) determines whether the adjacent corner clock turns together with the three other adjacent clocks on the front side or on the back side: thus the configuration of the pins determines which sets of clocks can be turned simultaneously by rotating a suitable wheel.
I bought the QiYi clock as it had the best reviews for quality, and they're right, its well made and has good feel to the movements. Delivery was also faster than expected, very happy.
The Qiyi Clock turns well, and I can solve it about sub-30 every time. So far I haven't experienced any issues with it, and other's have said that the other clocks (Shengshou, Lingao) break a lot. So if you want a clock, get the Qiyi Clock. It may be 40 bucks, but it's worth the money.
It is very smooth and the magnets are very good in the dials but the pins are too weak and sometime you might accidentally hit one and ruin the solve otherwise its very good
This puzzle is incredible, especially when compared to other hardware available for clock. The magnetic pins have a very satisfying click and the turning of the gears is quite smooth with a nice click every time you turn the dial 1/12th of the way. If you’re looking to buy a clock I’d say it’s worth spending a little extra to get this one as the quality of the puzzle makes it well worth it. Easily the best clock available.
IT a really great clock out of the box and it doesnt need to be set up at all. It reduced my times by more than 10 seconds and is great to turn in general
