Chad’s August Cheap Gadget Theme, voted on and picked by our loyal Patreon members, was Cheap Time Gadgets – gadgets that have anything to do with time.
On that episode Chad showed us his new Big Eyes Clock! It’s billed as a Unique clock that is stylish and interesting. How does it tell time? The rotating eyes are used – the left eye = hours, the right eye = minutes). Well, it’s not the easiest way to tell time because there are no markings on the clock and it’s even possible to put the eyes in the wrong sockets when you put them back after putting in the batteries. Chad thinks his clock never seemed to have right time. Chad paid almost $25 for his, but while on Amazon 1/3/25 what appears to be the exact same clock, is selling for about $10 less. It’s a novelty, even a conversation starter, but it’s really not good as a clock.

Here’s a very different kind of water bottle!
The object of AirUP is to enjoy sugar free hydration with air up a choice of 5 different flavor pods. They are Kola, Watermelon, Orangeade, Apple, and Pineapple. The pod mounts on the special water bottle cap & adds the flavor just by aroma! One pod ‘flavors’ 25+ liters sparkling or still water according to the company.
The company gave me a sample to try myself. Surprisingly it works fairly well. The concept and the pods and AirUP unit itself are all very nice. BUT, it’s the price that landed it on the ‘worst’ list. Currently on Amazon – 1/3/25 – an AirUp bottle and 5 flavor pads is $54.95. Almost $55 seems a lot of money to be able to drink ‘flavored’ water. There were 100 reviews on that date, giving 3.2 out of 5 stars for the product, so not everybody likes it.
