It works well as an alarm clock. I don't know if this is a battery problem, or a design defect. Also, the indiglo does not light unless you press a button. However, you can only see the time if you hold the clock and tilt it at various angles. The snooze delay is adjustable. There has to be something better.
This clock would not stay on the entered time zone.I repeatedly followed the directions and every two weeksthe time would again be 2 hours off.
First, there is NO manual clock setting on this clock. I tried resetting it multiple times, but the same thing kept happening. I should have paid more attention to the other reviews before buying this clock. Second, an accurate atomic setting would be fine if it actually kept time and was accurate, but it is not. Please save your money. Yes, you can adjust the time yourself, but the atomic clock will override your setting in the middle of the night. It made no sense to me because it was still set for Eastern time.
So even if the clock kept accurate time in the States, you wouldn't be able to use it elsewhere. Please don't make the same mistake I did. Third (like you really need a third for a clock that doesn't work), it only has the Continental United States time zones. There is nothing you can do to shut the atomic setting off. After my clock set itself to Eastern time one night, the next night it jumped ahead 8 full hours. I moved to the Canadian border of Maine where the time zone is Atlantic and that made the clock go even more haywire. I hate that I wasted mine.
I have had several atomic clocks and this is the cheapest and best. Plus:- always syncs really fast, no matter where in the US I was- good readability- shows the time the alarm is set to without having to press a button - that is a big PLUS for me- has + and - keys, so you can easily set the times- good to read- battery lasts forever- shows temperature as an added plus- folds up and is very protectedMinus:- not so easy to operate
The dual alarms are handy and the ability to configure the snooze interval is great. This clock packs a lot of useful features into very little space. The display is large and easy to read. The radio time receiver has worked well everywhere I've tried it. And the whole unit folds down into a tiny package for transport.My wife uses ours as her regular nightstand clock as well as taking it on trips.Highly recommended.
