Large Digital Atomic Alarm Clock with Color Display - Baldr

Amazon Customer: I like the clock but it was hard to get it set right. The book said MST was -7 that didn't work, it works on -8. The book definitely has errors. I don't know if any of the time zone settings are right. I was afraid I would have to send it back, but I finally got it set after several days of trying.

Phil: I have been looking for a desk top clock (not too space consuming) with seconds (to time my tooth brushing etc) and with AC powered (do not have to deal with batteries) and with LCD back light (easy to read). But it was harder than I thought to find one. Finally I found this one. It is a winner. First I was worry that the color display may be distractive. But it is not at all. It is pretty pleasant. The display quality is very good. easy to set up even you do not read the manual. Control buttons on the side is a good change from standard in the back(easy to see). Replaceable back up battery is included. Just the right size for desk with large time read out. It is the best desk top clock I have. The only thing I wish is to have more choices of brightness levels. Now it is 10% , 100% or off. Maybe add 30% or 50% would be nice. But even at 10%, it is still readable in day time and is perfect for night time. 100% reduces the contrast. Overall it deserves a five star.

ZAO: Buen producto, pero hasta ahora aquí en México no he logrado que se sintonice con algún satélite.

Archic: Had I written this review 24 hours ago it would have been less favorable.

This is an attractive, color, digital clock with Atomic Time. The readout is large enough to be easily seen and includes the date, day, indoor temperature & humidity, as well as the time.

It was the atomic time feature that was my primary reason for selecting this clock. I wanted to save myself some time and energy twice a year when it comes time to adjust for daylight saving time.

Right out of the box the atomic time feature didn’t work. The clock just would not find the time signal. I was disappointed. It was easy to set the clock manually, but I wound up setting the clock a few seconds behind the actual time. Close enough! I was going to write a moderately positive review — 3 or 4 stars. Then, a day or two later, I noticed the antenna icon was steadily on — not flashing as it would during a search. When I compared the display time to the time on my iPhone it was accurate, down to the second. I needed to demonstrate some patience in order to learn this clock works!

N,S: アメリカ仕様なので、日本では電波時計として使えません。
日本語の説明書も無く、アメリカのサマータイム設定等、文化の違いでよくわからない言葉の壁もあり、苦労して翻訳しながら初期設定していると、タイムゾーンの設定という項目で、アラスカ・ハワイを含むアメリカの-4～-10の選択肢しか無く、日本の標準時である+9が設定できず、出品者への問い合わせも話が噛み合わないので、電波時計として購入するのは止めたほうがいいです。

Chris AndersonChris Anderson: Where do I start? This clock has a VERY narrow viewing angle. Outside of this viewing angle, you cannot see the information on the screen. When I purchased this clock, I had a specific place in mind where I wanted to hang it, and a spot where I wanted it to be visible from. This clock is essentially invisible with this setup.

If you plan on hanging the clock on the wall, it will be lopsided. This is because it only has one nail hole on the back, and the cord hangs off the side. The weight of the cord will cause it to hang crooked on the nail. Newton established this when he published his comprehensive theory on gravity; this is nothing new. To fix this, I had to put a nail in the wall at the bottom of the clock, just below the cord.

I will say that the time is spot-on, though. Not that it does me any good, because I have to go up to the clock to be able to read it. When it first set, it was an hour ahead, because apparently, you have to tell it which time zone you’re in. That’s not a big deal, though.

Ultimately, this clock is getting returned, because it displays the time just about as well as the empty patch of wall right next to it...

Richard Mann: I bought this because I wanted two things: 1. An atomic clock for my office. I have other clocks, but I want a completely accurate one in easy view. 2. A readout of the current indoor temperature. (I used to always be hot, but now I find myself in my old age being cold rather frequently. I want to know what the real temperature is!)

This unit is a very fine way to fill those needs. Its screen is very bright and easily readable. It has three brightness settings, but I only use the brightest one.

On the screen, you will find the time in the largest characters. It is labeled am or pm and shows the seconds. It can set to your choice of 12-hour or 24-hour time, and it has several choices of how to handle Daylight Savings Time. Above the seconds display is the phase of the moon. I don't know why that would be useful to me. There is also a small icon that shows up at times to tell you that the unit is trying to connect to the National Bureau of Standards to ge the exact time. My unit, in the middle of an upstairs room about 12 feet from a small window, has a little trouble some days finding the signal, but it connects often enough to match...
