Just got out click Friday and we have the same problem. It gets almost 15 minutes faster every 6 hours! Nice display, but worthless to actually use! :(

Bought this for my son to assemble. Looks great, but like others have mentioned, it runs significantly fast. Ours would gain 10 to 15 minutes per day! I replaced the crystal with a more accurate one, which helped, but not enough to make it a useable clock. After reading general reports of the DS1307 RTC running fast in any application, the issues seemed to be twofold - external circuit noise (the datasheet specifically indicates that noise will cause the clock to run fast) and the stray capacitance of the traces between the RTC and the crystal. I tried just surrounding the crystal in a grounded copper foil shield, which improved it a little more. Finally, seeing as how the DS1307 datasheet recommends locating the crystal right at the legs of the chip, I snipped the legs and soldered the crystal right to pins X1 and X2, eliminating the trace capacitance entirely. For good measure, I put the little copper shield around it and grounded it to pin 4 and it's now keeping near perfect time. I'm attaching a photo of my hack. It's not pretty, but it made the clock useful.

Ordered this kit to use as a demo piece for a soldering class I am teaching. Kit came with no assembly instructions, but the board is pretty clearly marked so it isn't hard to figure out how everything goes together. Soldered the components to the board and plugged it in. Nothing. After checking my connections, etc. I tried a different USB cable. The cable that was included was bad. Again no big deal, since I have multiple mini-USB cables laying around. Once its up and running, it looks pretty cool. Luckily the Amazon product description includes directions on setting time, date and all. There does seem to be an issue with it losing time, I keep having to reset it. So it would be a cool little soldering project for someone who is trying to learn, but don't count on it to be an accurate time piece. Edit: It does keep accurate time if you assemble it correctly. I figured out what I had done, and now it is keeping perfect time. i had tacked the crystal down to the board, because there was a solder pad to solder it to. I think it wasn't allowing the crystal inside to vibrate correctly. I de-soldered it from the pad and it is now as accurate as any other digital clock. I bumped my initial review up a star to reflect.

A very cool little clock! I enjoyed putting it together, if you've done enough projects, it's not difficult at all. The instructions are straightforward, didn't take but a few trys to figure it out. I also used stock photos to ensure proper positioning of display cubes, temp sensor, and beeper. When you change time from 24 to 12 hour, then set time, it will set in 24 hour mode, but when your done, will display time in 12 hour mode. Weird, but that's how it works.
