A quick follow-up.
After ten days, I’m charging Mudita Harmony for the first time with 13%. I wrote before that I would expect around one month, but I was too optimistic. However, I don’t feel it is a bad thing. 10-12 days of battery for everyday use is ok for me.
I want to report a curious situation. When I adjusted the hours the first time, it was only a few seconds desynchronized from my mac. Ten days after, I see a plus three minutes difference. Is anyone experiencing the same thing?
I too see more of a drain from the battery than I expected. The Bell clearly out performs the Harmony in the battery category which I found interesting since it actually has a physical mechanism.
I suppose it has to do something with the insufficient software optimization in the Harmony (the same problem as the Pure has), which could be improved via a software update.
FedEx delivered my Mudita Harmony on Friday evening, so here’s my side-by-side comparison of it vs. my Braun Classic Travel Analogue Clock, which I have moved to my office and will take with me on trips.
Five Benefits of the Braun over the Harmony
Ten Benefits of the Harmony over the Braun
In my opinion, each is worth what it costs for what it does.
I also like my harmony very much so far. One thing I’d like to change is the wakeup light. When snoozing it immediately turns off. It would be nice if one could configure if it should stay on during snooze or maybe fade out and fade in again.
BUILD QUALITY CONCERN
After using the Harmony for two weeks I noticed that there is some light leakage coming from the side housing. I did not see this initially due to the clock face pointing directly at me when the dial was illuminated but by happenstance I had a different angle and noticed the leakage. I wonder if anyone else has this issue?
I posted a mini update to my initial review as it pertained to the housing of the Harmony. There is some light leakage coming from the seam of the housing due to an ill fitting cover ring. I have enclosed 2 images in my follow up.
I see less light leakage than you see when I set my light level to the highest (10) – as if the front ring fits my Harmony better than your front ring fits your Harmony.
@skilletsauce Thanks for sharing the pictures. I’ve forwarded your feedback to the design team & I am waiting to hear back. In the meantime I will check my Harmony when it gets dark.
The issue occurs when brightness level is between 5-10. It’s the left side of the housing. I will check the Bell when it gets dark and give you my feedback.
Wow! I guess I have an unlucky unit. I checked my Bell and there is no leakage at all. Is there something that can be done about my unit? I don’t want to try to twist or compress anything on the clock for fear of making matters worse.
I purchased two Mudita Harmony’s that were delivered today. The first one I opened display the Mudita symbol with a faint “no battery” symbol behind it. It has been plugged in for 45-minutes and it won’t turn on. I searched for way to reset the clock, but couldn’t find any information. I have sent a support ticket in about this.
The other Harmony is plugged in and seems to be charging and working as designed.
@skilletsauce I talked to our customer service team & we will be replacing your unit. Could you please open up a support ticket in this case, so you can provide them with all your info. We won’t want to start sharing names & shipment addresses here on the public forum 
@mmallen37 Make sure you plug both in for a few hours. If one of them is not charging correctly, you might have to do a factory reset & charge it again. In the new software, we implemented “transportation mode” to guard against any issues connected with shipment.
It took two hours for me until starting to charge.
About the light, I also have some (medium-intensity) light come out from the sides. My impression is that the front frame isn’t completely sealed.
@roberto Would you be able to take some pix? I will forward to our team & see if you also need a replacement. How about the Mudita Bell?
Hello @mmallen37 Thank you for letting us know. I’m sorry you are having issues with one of the devices. Please try to reset it, as Ula mentioned, by pressing back and light buttons at once for up to 10 seconds WHILE having the Harmony plugged in. If it’s not gonna be responsive please unplug the device and contact us at support@mudita.com so we can provide you with a working device but also investigate more into detail so that we can make sure it will not repeat in the future. Whatever caused the inconvenience, we are very sorry! Hope we will figure it out very soon.
@urszula: I get a “hairline” of light leaking on each side with my light set to 10. (a) This does not bother me, and (b) I now keep my light set to 1, which is more than enough to “pre-wake” and to “wake” me in the morning (in a dark bedroom).
But, if this bothers Mudita, then please let me know. Thank you. I understand, if your quality-control folks find the hairline leaks unacceptable, so I am willing to fix/replace it if they do!
