Sharp Digital Alarm Clock with Auto-Setting Atomic Timekeeping

Rudolf Wolf: The clock is very compact and in reasonably well lighted conditions it is easy to read. However, in dim lighting the numbers tend to disappear. It would have been better if the background were a stark white.

Also, the initial setup was not as easy as I expected. You not only have to read and follow the directions very carefully, you have to be sure that you do not vary from the order of the steps. The initial setup is not intuitive and it took me several frustrating attempts before I got it right.

Garlon: This clock will automatically adjust for daylight savings time. The display is easy to read with an easy to reach button to increase brightness when needed.
This is a great clock.

William Waddington: Would like to have a back light that can be turned on and off as needed by the user. Device is difficult to read at times.

John Domier: This clock solves our problem with getting the right time because we live off grid and in a location where there is no net service.

FernyLes: La sonnerie est trop faible. Peut-il être en fomat de 24 heures ou s'il faut accepter le format12 heures ?
Un livret d'instructions en français aurait été très apprécié pour les francophones. Là, il est seulement en langue anglaise. Vous vendez au Québec mais vous importez peu de notre langue d'origine ! ! ! À corriger s.v.p.

dahboss: for 3 years now I've been using a small "atomic clock" made by another manufacturer - it was a few dollars less than this clock. I regretted that I did not purchase this clock as soon as I opened the package - and even more the instant I put the batteries in. This is an extremely well engineered clock. It is highly visible from across the room at all angles - it auto sets - but the procedure to set it manually could not be easier - It seems to sense timezone, and DST was set to "on" too - and setting each feature - time, date, alarm has its own button - it makes setting it as easy as possible - especially compared to the less expensive clocks that have fewer buttons (presumably to keep the cost down). As soon as I had the time and date set, I immediately order another of the clocks to replace another cheaper unit. This product is very well designed, and really delivers ease of use and high visibility. I've only had it for 30 minutes now, but I wanted to share my first impressions. Truly an excellent product.

Richard GagnonRichard Gagnon: This battery operated clock kind of works for my purpose and kind of doesn't. First of all, I did not understand that the "atomic clock" feature uses a radio signal to automatically sync up the time. That probably won't work for me because I don't get good radio reception in my house. I was able to set the date and time with a little difficulty since the manual didn't mention that the atomic clock search needs to be turned off to manually change the clock. I nearly returned it because the instruction to hold down the date button for two seconds to manually set the clock wasn't working.

The liquid crystal display has a lot less contrast than what's shown in the product images such that it's marginal for telling the time. In low light, it's useless. That part I expected. It is frustrating that the clock's visibility doesn't match the image. I'll keep it, but it really is borderline for returning it. It's not damaged and, had I checked the reviews, I might not have bought it. Pushing the snooze button would light up the screen for seconds, but it's ten feet away from me. That defeats the purpose. An electric clock would be better, but I'm all out of open...
