We rely on our digital devices for so much — including telling us what time it is — but a trusty wall clock remains an essential, its mere presence urging us get out the door in time. Besides that, many of the best wall clocks also display other helpful information — like the temperature or day of the week — while others capitalize on style-savvy design elements to tie a room together.

Of course, the first decision you'll have to make is whether you want a digital or analog clock face. A digital clock is more utilitarian, displaying the time in an easy-to-read fashion, and some provide extra information, like the date and temperature. Analog clocks, on the other hand, are more likely to double as design pieces and come in a range of styles — from classic to vintage-inspired to modern to rustic — and your choice depends on the aesthetic you're trying to create. The one practical consideration to keep in mind with analog clocks? Sound. Some people find the quiet ticking of a clock to be soothing, while others prefer silence. In any case, there are plenty of ticking and non-ticking options to choose from.

Last, but not least, most wall clocks need to be set manually, but if you usually forget to adjust for daylight saving time — or just don’t want to deal with setting a clock at all — it might be worth spending a bit more for an atomic clock, which uses a radio signal to synchronize to the United States’ atomic clock so it’s automatically adjusted as needed. (Pretty cool.) And so, the time has come — scroll on to check out the best wall clocks on Amazon that’ll spruce up your decor and keep you on schedule.
