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.
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
I was pleasantly surprised with how smooth the turning is and how light it is to operate the pins. This is a quality product. I can't wait to use it in a comp.
A cubing beginner and never tried the clock. This is great.
The guide was easy to follow.
Packaging was great.
Clock is sturdy and feels great to use - I haven't had to adjust anything.
I have the shengshou clock, which is ok, but this is so much better. Turning is very easy, and the magnets in the dials help them click into place which provides stability and eliminates lock ups, which definitely saves time. Kind of expensive but i think worth the price for sure. My only complaint is that the pins are so easy to push that you can sometimes move one by accident.
Out of the box it is very fast and light, faster and lighter than literally any other clock out there. It'll probably be too uncontrollable for most solvers out of the box. I know it was for me, so I ended up tightening the screws until I was satisfied with the speed.
Also if you're coming from a different clock (shengshou or lingao), you'll find that you need to change your turning style a little to accomodate for the lightness, but this is remedied by doing about a hundred solves on it; the feel isn't too hard to get used to.
