Love this little clock,

This review is from: Radio-Controlled Travel Alarm (Kitchen)
Just about to buy a replacement of this product, after the dog got ahold of it and chewed it. I'm not going to look for any other product, I will just order this item again. I have carried this little travel alarm every week for the last 4 years, from time zone to time zone and couldn't be happier with it. It adjusts, automatically every time.

You'll Always Have the Correct Time,

This review is from: Radio-Controlled Travel Alarm (Kitchen)
I bought this primarily for my SUV. The factory-installed stereo came with a clock that was easy to read day or night, but the replacement stereo had a clock that's impossible to read when the sun is out. This clock has an LCD display, so the sunnier it gets, the easier it is to read. And when I'm travelling, I can just grab it and take it into the hotel with me at night.
The clock sets automatically, just as advertised. This sits inside my SUV, which is parked inside a garage with a bonus room above, and it receives the "atomic signal" with no problems. The description is a little misleading when it comes to time zones. You do have to manually change the time zone as you travel; this unit doesn't have a built-in GPS and doesn't know what time zone it is located in. This is easily done and not a drawback. I like it a lot, and recommend it.

Display impossible to read at night (in the dark),
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Radio-Controlled Travel Alarm (Kitchen)
This travel alarm does all I would expect of it as described by other reviewers. However, I noted when I bought the clock that one of the reviews mentioned an "excellent blue electroluminescent display". To me, that indicated that the clock had a "backlit" (or "back light") screen display. No so! This clock (currently, on 1/30/11) has a display that is lit by a white LED bulb from the right margin of the screen. What's the difference? A backlit screen is evenly lit over the entire display and results in the digital clock numbers having a high/increased contrast to the display background. A clock (such as this one) with a white LED side light display causes the digital clock numbers to fade (have a very low contrast) with respect to the display background. That doesn't make any difference during the daylight hours, but at night (in the dark); the display appears very faded when trying to check the time. I am far sighted, and the time display is impossible for me to read at night in a dark room using only the white led light that shines from right to left across the display. I could possibly read it with a flashlight, or by locating my glasses and putting them on to check the time, but that is usually not what one want to be doing when trying to fall back to sleep at (e.g.) 3:00 AM. Too bad the LA CROSSE Company did not make these clocks with a backlit display. The technology to do this has been around for many years. My last travel alarm was purchased from Radio Shack many years ago and (with its backlit display) I never had a problem checking the time at night. Because of the faded night time display on this clock, I would not recommend it to others. This is especially true if, like me, you are far sighted and have to wear glasses for "near" viewing. Note, this item was purchased from "Bears Discount Den, LLC" via Amazon.com.
