I don't know if this is a battery problem, or a design defect. However, you can only see the time if you hold the clock and tilt it at various angles. There has to be something better. It works well as an alarm clock. Also, the indiglo does not light unless you press a button. The snooze delay is adjustable.
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.
I hate that I wasted mine. Please save your money. It made no sense to me because it was still set for Eastern time. Please don't make the same mistake I did. After my clock set itself to Eastern time one night, the next night it jumped ahead 8 full hours. So even if the clock kept accurate time in the States, you wouldn't be able to use it elsewhere.
I moved to the Canadian border of Maine where the time zone is Atlantic and that made the clock go even more haywire. First, there is NO manual clock setting on this clock. Second, an accurate atomic setting would be fine if it actually kept time and was accurate, but it is not. I tried resetting it multiple times, but the same thing kept happening. Yes, you can adjust the time yourself, but the atomic clock will override your setting in the middle of the night. I should have paid more attention to the other reviews before buying this clock.
There is nothing you can do to shut the atomic setting off. Third (like you really need a third for a clock that doesn't work), it only has the Continental United States time zones.
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
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. 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.
