Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Product Comment: We are using these atomic alarm clocks for business purposes. They are a great value! Customer Rating: Summary: Atomic time travel alarm Comment: I didn't give this a five-star rating because of how it loses it's signal from the transmitter in Colorado if the clock isn't placed near a window actually facing Colorado. Once the clock is placed in said window, it gets the signal back within 2-24 hours or so and displays the exact time once again. Customer Rating: Summary: Nice for the Price Comment: This clock was exactly what I wanted. An accurate, self setting clock to set my other clocks with, since the time announcement service (given by phone) has been discontinued in our area. I didn't think I'd find one for less than $10.00.....but here it is. Customer Rating: Summary: my wife said order two more... Comment: I got the clock as a free gift with purchase with a wrist watch. I love the self setting features, very James Bond. I had no trouble setting it up, or getting it to do everthing it said it would. I love the quick alarm reset feature (hold down snooze bar when alarm is going off until it beeps) Yes the buttons do take a bit of getting used to but for my wife to tell me to order anything even related to a tech gadget is huge! I wish she felt this way about a jet ski...
Customer Rating: Summary: NOT user friendly Comment: The folding stand on my reliable TIMEX travel alarm clock (which I used at home,too) broke, so I searched for a replacement. (I liked it a lot - but my husband hated the high pitched sound it emitted when I pushed the light button at night. The sound was at too high a frequency to bother me much.) I have some other radio-controlled clocks so I thought this LaCrosse Technology one would be good after searching all the possibilities on Amazon. Well -- it is just lousy to try and operate as an alarm clock. I would have to read the directions each time to remember which of the two buttons to push in which way to set the clock and alarm, and to turn the alarm on and off. Yikes. It was ridiculous. No ON/OFF button. Your choices are AL/HR and MODE/MIN. Forget it! I decided to put it by my computer just as a clock. Numbers big enough. But it doesn't know what CST is. It keeps going back an hour -- so I can't even get it to tell the right time. I have since bought two more travel clocks at Target. The first was a basic model for about $8, but you could barely find the ON/OFF button and distinguish that switch/button from the others when coming out of a sound sleep. And I actually couldn't see the numerals in the daytime! Bright light when on at night though. Took it back and bought another one for about $5 -- and this one -- it has the world's faintest night light - can't see at all, and the alarm is very faint. Is it too much to ask for alarm clock designers to have easy to use buttons and decent lights? It should be a no-brainer that the ON/OFF switch is easy to find and separate from the other buttons. I am shocked at how many I've looked at that don't have a distinctive ON/OFF button at all!
