DreamSky Auto-Set Alarm Clock with Time Display

James Iowa Island City: DreamSky Auto Set Alarm Clock, I bought this clock mainly because it can be dimmed all the way off, or as bright or dim as you may want it. Also the room temperatre display is a nice feature, I bought another one of these clocks just to give at Christmas, so yes I think in my opinon excellent. The light color display on mine is a very light blue, almost looks while, but no problem for me on that, just plug in set your time zone, -- your ready to go, it will take care anything else automatically.

Braath Waate: The autoset feature is nothing more than battery backup, but worse. Because the battery is already installed, the battery is already deteriorated when you receive this clock. I bought 4 of these clocks, and one of them must have been on the shelf for several years because it was DOA and I had to put a fresh battery into it.

Ideally, I wanted an atomic clock, like the BALDR Atomic Alarm Clock. But that clock, like all of them I have seen, have a large footprint, and are not suitable for a bedside table, because they would be knocked over, and then probably wouldn't receive properly. I have had good success with large atomic wall clocks, but reception would probably be an issue for a bedside table. In addition, if the backup battery dies, those clocks have to be reprogrammed for timezone anyway, so the only advantage of an atomic clock is accuracy. But if anyone finds an atomic clock in the footprint of the DreamSky, please post it. Thank you in advance.

I like the DreamSky because of its small footprint, large display, 0% brightness control, USB charging port and lithium battery. I replaced all of the bedside alarm clocks with the DreamSky in my STR condos because...

somedude74: The quick rundown:

Likes:
Dimmer. It is a true 0-100% dimmer, and it can get very bright.
Large Display. It is still easy to read the time when it is very dim due to the size of the time.
Temp display.
Display looks crisp and clean.
USB port on the back.

Dislikes:
Not truly and auto setting clock, it is a preset clock. This is not an atomic clock (read below for more).
Dimmer, It is backwards. (See below review)
Looks cheap. It was in the $20 range when I bought it and it looks & feels every bit as if it is a $20 clock.
Lacks 12/24 hour time option, it is only 12; I like 24 hour time. This will not be much of an issue for most normal folks.

I had searched for atomic clocks and this was one that came up. The way the item description reads one would believe it sets itself, this is NOT the case. The clock comes preset from the factory and has a 3v lithium battery that keeps the time. When the clock is plugged in, it turns on the display and will show the correct time in the eastern standard time, you need to set it to your time zone. The instruction manual says that this will change when DST changes, well, if the US changes when DST...

M.P: I use this clock in my bedroom. I am hard of hearing and cannot hear the alarm go off. I ordered the clock because the blurb on the Amazon page said it was auto setting. I am not sure what they mean by that. I bought it because it does not lose time during a power outage, however the time is not set by any NIST or internet time server. The time is set at the factory and uses a battery to keep the time function working during a power outage. That part of the blurb is correct, and that is why the clock shows almost the correct time when it is first on electrical power. The one I received was two minutes behind the the one on my phone. It has been keeping the time accurately since that time.
The display is 100% controllable and can be dimmed to nothing or turned up so bright that it dazzles the eyes, especially in a darkened room. The problem is that there is no automatic adjustment of the brightness. That is pretty standard feature of most L.E.D displays, i.e. when it gets dark an auto intensity sensor should be there and dim the display when it gets dark in the room, and brighter when the room is lighted. I have to turn the intensity down at night so it will not blind me at...

Ernest N. Wilcox Jr.: This clock has everything I could want from a table clock display without becoming too crowded. The only thing that disappoints me is that it doesn't have a radio built in. Instead it appears to be able to connect to my smart phone (or other device) using Bluetooth, but this is an issue for Amazon to resolve because when I search for a "Table top clock radio", devices like this shouldn't be included in the results. With that said, this clock is great, especially for the price. If you don't need/want a radio built into your table top clock, this is a great choice. It's not a space hog and it is very easy to read, even from across a large room, not to mention that it's very light-weight too. I have it perched on top of the box it came in at the far-back corner of the night stand in my bedroom for now (I'll make a little wooden stand for it when I have time), so I can see it over the sundry other items I keep there. If you need a table top clock, and you don't need a radio built into it, I can recommend this one with no reservations,
