Product Description
Amazon.com Review
The La Crosse Technology WT-5720U projection alarm clock is ideal anytime absolute accuracy is paramount. The clock, which can project the time onto a wall or ceiling from 3 to 10 feet away, receives its signal from the atomic clock in Fort Collins, Colorado, ensuring that it will never be off by even a few seconds. The included alarm employs an adjustable snooze, in addition to running on either 12- or 24-hour time mode. The clock also displays the date (month, date, year, and day) and the indoor temperature in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. The projection feature is a real plus, as it's versatile and flexible, with a rotating option for proper viewing and an adjustable intensity level. Use it at home for variety, or during a business meeting to keep everyone on task. When operating on the AC adapter, the clock can project time constantly. However, when using the battery, the clock projects the time for three seconds each time you press the button. --Rivers Janssen

This review is from: La Crosse Technology WT-5720U Projection Alarm Clock with Indoor Temperature (Kitchen)
My first objective was to find an alarm clock with a programmable snooze -- this one's got it. Second objective was to be large enough for day-to-day use but also useable for travelling -- this one does it.
The projection feature works great for me -- it's razor sharp and even at it's lowest setting very clear. If you can't see it in the day time, look at he front of the clock (which can also be lit by LEDs by pushing any one button). Yes, the buttons are not the sturdiest, but I believe that the need to use them often is negated by the fact it is radio-controlled. You set the alarm and display preference once and you walk away. For a $20.00 alarm clock, I think it's a fantastic value.

Good as a projector; bad at everything else,

This review is from: La Crosse Technology WT-5720U Projection Alarm Clock with Indoor Temperature (Kitchen)
I bought this clock specifically to have the time projected on the ceiling at night. My wife and I recently got new alarm clocks that use backlit LCD rather than LED numbers, and we found we were having a hard time reading them at night. We bought this clock as a solution.
My 4 star rating is based on that use alone. It simply does not work during the daytime- the projector is not bright enough to complete with daylight or bright room lights. That's good- a light bright enough to be seen during the day would be far too bright for night-time use. You will be disappointed if you want to use this thing during the day. I would have given this clock a much lower rating if I had intended to use the "atomic clock" feature, or to use it as an alarm clock. Specifically: 1. The atomic clock only works in certain parts of the country. The atomic clock broadcasting station is in Denver, CO, and the further away you get from Denver, the less likely you will be to pick it up. We are on the east coast, and our house is on the eastern side of a large hill, and this clock has never picked up the atomic clock signal, despite following the instructions meticulously. While it's possible we have a defective unit, based on what I've read I just think we're in a bad spot, and this unit doesn't have a very good antenna. The good news is that the internal clock seems to keep fine time. 2. The physical construction is very, very cheap. It is extremely lightweight, and easy to knock over. The power cord connection is flimsy, and moving the clock (or knocking it over) will result in a loss of power (and your configuration if you don't have batteries installed). The buttons are especially cheap, and poorly organized. It works fine for our use because we don't need to touch it, but it would be terrible as a daily alarm clock- unless you are a lot more patient than I am at bedtime, you would not want to try to set this thing in a sleepy state of mind. Unless you are a lot more coordinated than I am immediately after waking up, you would knock it off the nightstand regularly just trying to shut it off. It wouldn't stand up long to such abuse. But, as I said earlier- if all you need to do is put the time on the ceiling, it works admirably. *UPDATE*: After using this thing for about 3 months, it spontaneously picked up the atomic clock signal. I have no idea why (we didn't change *anything*), but it's been locked for a couple weeks. -R

Love this clock!,

I love this clock. I wanted a small clock for my bedroom and didn't realize it projected when I bought it (was an impluse purchase when buying a DVD player) I can't live without it now. I am nearsighted so this is great in the dark. I have given four as gifts (that's what I'm buying today) and I find that when I go away it takes me a couple days to get used to the clock not being on my ceiling! I will ALWAYS have a projection clock from now on. I couldn't live without it.
