In the era of iPhone ubiquity, smart watches and constant calendar dings, the analog movement of a simple table top clock can be downright soothing, replacing ear-splitting dings and blue light pollution with timeless pun intended function and design.

If youre looking to add a timepiece like this to your rotation, we found a stylish rectangular clock from Target that harkens back to a simpler time. Even better, its reminiscent of a design icon, the Newgate Wideboy clock , that boasts similarly clean sans serif numbers and atomic dials. One notable difference, however, is that this Target find rings up well under its high-end counterpart at just $15.

While its also two inches smaller than its high-design cousin and lacks an alarm, its sure to instantly class up your decor. No where you put it on a desktop, a side table or in your kitchen this piece will shine. All it takes is one AA battery to get it up and running.

Several reviewers point out how astonishingly quiet this clock is too, so theres no stressing about the ticking clock interrupting your train of thought or REM cycle. Overall, it has a 4.6-star rating across 166 reviews.

See what some Target customers had to say about the clock or just scroll down to add it to your own nightstand.

What a great little clock! The MCM I was looking for. Raylene

So quiet! Its on my nightstand right next to my bed and it does not keep me up. Other clocks are so loud when they tick that I have to take the battery out to do anything that requires focus - not this clock! So stylish and soooooo quiet!!! Chelsea

What a beautiful little clock. It was the perfect addition to my room makeover. Looks really sleek, good quality, and seems to work well. Love the design. great value Gapeach22

Got this to help my teen develop a better sense of time to get out the door in the morning. The minute marks are very helpful for this. Lots of style for the price. I saw very similar clock in the gift shop of NYC Museum of Modern Art, as example of mid-century modern. It cost a lot more. Nature Girl

Before You Go

If You Always Hit The Snooze Button, Here's 29 Things To Help You Get Ready Quickly In 2024
A pair of microfiber hair towels, because they're super absorbent, anti-frizz and can cut hair-drying time in half(01 of29)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "Love love love these! I have long hair (almost up to my waist) and I hate to have my hair dripping water right after shower, but I do not want to use my hair dryer at all times, so I just keep this wrapped up for a while and it does wonders! My hair is almost fully dry when I take this off (1530 minutes max) and I feel relieved that I dont have to carry the weight of a full towel around! The button is nicely placed and its easy to just wrap it around your head. I have one and my stepdaughter has the other, and we both love it!!" Ana Davis (credit:amazon.com)
Or a pair of scrunchie-towel hybrids that absorb excess water and keep hair out of your way during the rest of your morning routine(02 of29)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "I ordered this because I was sick of keeping a towel on my head for so long while my hair dried, and if I didn't have a towel, my shirt was soaking wet from my hair after a shower. For reference, I had very long, thick hair and it takes a while to air-dry and I'm so happy I found this scrunchie! It's a lot bigger in person than it looks in the image, which is great because it covers more of your hair to help dry it. No more heavy towels on my head or tight towel wraps." Meghan (credit:amazon.com)
A body sponge that comes prefilled with body wash so all you have to do it grab it for a quick scrub-a-dub(03 of29)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "If I could give more stars, I would. Love this sponge. It is a nice little scrubby with the best smelling suds. Best of all, when used daily, it makes your skin extra smooth. I use it all over, especially my arms that had started to look a bit crepey...I'll be 70 this year. But, with use of this sponge, my arms look and feel wonderful." jj (credit:Amazon)
A 100-pack of oil-absorbing bamboo charcoal sheets to help eliminate forehead oiliness on the go(04 of29)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "I LOVE these oil-absorbing sheets! I tried them out a few years ago but haven't gotten around to writing a review until now. I've tried other blotting sheets and they've either broken me out or just did not absorb all the oil. Every time I come back to these I realize they are truly the best. I have SUPER-oily skin (and cystic acne which I have the scars to show for) and this makes me feel sooo fresh and even calms down active pimples/acne." Noopur D. (credit:amazon.com)
A dry shampoo foam to instantly refresh hair between washes(05 of29)
Open Image Modal
It's a super-quick and easy way to make your hair look presentable without water, brushing or leftover residue.

Promising review:
"I have very very fine and fragile hair. Its wavy (2b to 2c with some 3a curls mixed in) My ends are dry and my scalp gets very oily quickly. When the product arrived I was on second-day hair. I worked the foam through my roots and the sides on my head. The most oily places for me. It was easy to work through and it smells so fresh and clean. My results were amazing! My roots looked clean, no residue or build up like powder dry shampoos. My scalp does not itch, and it gives my fine, flat hair a ton of volume. Also, my hair looks thicker when I use it. I usually cant go more than a day or two without washing my hair. With this product I was able to go four days without washing my hair." Amelia Tilton

It even has SPF 30 to protect you from harmful rays. It's basically multiple steps wrapped up into one.

Promising review:
"Where has this been all my life? So perfect for my 39-year-old mixed dry/oily skin. Definitely provides sun protection, moisture, and gentle color correction all in one with no issues ... Definitely cuts redness and blends away pigmentation issues without looking like makeup. Adds a healthy glow without being too shiny or too matte. Sheer but buildable coverage, and easy to apply and even re-apply mid-day without streaking or cakey-ness or making skin look flakey. Does not gather in fine lines and pores like others i have tried. My new holy grail." H V

Open Image Modal
It'll help curly and wavy textures dry quicker, without adding heat. No crunchiness, just hydrated and defined natural hair.

Promising review:
"I put some in my hair for the first time today and I'm impressed! I towel dried my hair and then put about a quarter size in my palm and spread throughout my hair, scrunched my hair, and then let it air dry. I think it did a good job at defining my waves and eliminating the serious frizz." ninjamommy

The Revlon one-step hair dryer and volumizer for getting the perfect blowout in half the time(09 of29)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "My hair is baby fine and thin, and most hair dryers cause me to get nasty split ends and breakage. I bought this on a whim, and the difference between this and my high-end dryer has been phenomenal! I have more volume in less time than it takes my usual routine. Plus, I've had much less breakage as well. To style, I use a volumizer and heat protector, then flip my hair over and blow-dry upside down. When I'm finished and flip my head back over, vavoom! Big hair!" Trisha Rutherford (credit:www.amazon.com)
Or a wet-to-straight hair straightener with steam vents(10 of29)
Open Image Modal
You can straighten your damp hair without having to take the extra time to thoroughly blow-dry it!

Promising review:
"Im pleasantly surprised by this straightener! My trusty Chi finally died after seven-plus years and I really didnt feel like forking out a ton to replace it. When I found this one, the 'wet to straight' feature seemed too good to be true, but I wanted to give it a shot because of the good reviews and extremely reasonable price. It really does work! I notice it does take a little longer than straightening dry hair (which was expected) but its really awesome to not have to wait until my hair is completely dry to style it. Even if it only lasts me a year I would feel as though I got my moneys worth and would gladly purchase again!" SBCG

Promising review: "Every household with kids should have this thing, actually EVERY HOUSEHOLD, REGARDLESS! No more finding toothpaste everywhere but down the sink drain, no more throwing half a tube away because of lost caps; insert your favorite brand in the dispenser, and voil! Simply press your brush against lever and a perfectly portioned dollop every time. When its time to rinse, grab one of the four cups that are hidden in the top and bottom of this little masterpiece. Rinse your brush, open the storage compartment, hang brush, and shut lid! Bristles are covered and protected from the wide array of germs that like to inhabit bathrooms." Jen (credit:Amazon)

Promising review:
"I can't believe just how pumped I am over these shoelaces! They make me wanna slip my shoes off and on just because I can! They make my shoes more comfortable than I could have ever imagined (due to the elasticity). I have them set up to just the right amount of tightness to where I can just slip my shoes on and off without having to adjust them at all (and they are plenty tight). Welcome to the 21st century!" dm925

Promising review: "I've tried the taping method, tried normal liquid liner, plastic winged stamping devices, stencils, all of it! So when I saw this I thought, meh, why not give it a shot ... It's not like my hopes were high since nothing else has been efficient or worked as it should.
"Well, this gem arrived and I immediately had to try it out, all while laughing at how terrible this would probably turn out ... but to my surprise, I put the left cat-eye on first and it was perfect aside from needing to connect it to my current liner. I thought this was a fluke and did the right eye ... again, it came out clean and perfect!" LadyMeow

Promising review: "I have always stayed away from foundation because I could never get the color right, it was thick, felt gross on my skin, then would look too heavy. THIS IS AMAZING! I will forever purchase this. Its light, smooth, and matches my skin. It doesnt cake into my fine lines and makes my skin look perfect. Its creamy and soft and moisturizes my skin without it feeling sticky." Ot (credit:Glossier)

Open Image Modal
Shape your brows with the precise teardrop tip on one end and quickly blend them out with the spoolie brush on the other end.

Promising review:
"Spent years using a brow pomade but got tired of it drying out in the little pot so quickly. I avoided pencils since I could never find one that went on as saturated and with a creamy sort of consistency that I was used to. Tried this on a whim since I'd seen a few positive reviews via YouTube and thought the angled tip was pretty neat. I don't know if I'd want to use anything else ever again because I love it so much! Easy to apply, goes on smoothly and the little brush on the end is great for evenly brushing product through the brows once they're filled in. Looks so natural and precise. So very happy to get out of my comfort zone and try something new." Shannon M Slape

Promising review: "I am currently on my second order of overnight oats and I am still very happy with this purchase. I work a weird schedule and don't usually have time to make breakfast. Also, my job can be very demanding most times, so even if I do get some time to eat it's usually not a lot. Overnight oats have solved both of those problems for me. I can make the drink the night before work and I can drink it in a few minutes and move on with my day." TheHero
