Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
A multi-function graphical gadget, this projection clock from Oregon Scientific combines unfailingly accurate time with a color-coded weather prediction system and handy temperature gauge. Working with an included wireless remote sensor, the unit displays color-coded weather predictions and projects both time and outdoor temperature onto the ceiling or wall for easy checking in the dark. Options include 12- or 24-hour forecasting, 180-degree projection rotation, and memory function for daily high and low temps. The clock also includes a crescendo alarm and an 8-minute snooze feature. Using a radio signal, it checks itself regularly against the U.S. Atomic Clock and resets automatically for Daylight Savings Time. Batteries for the base unit and the sensor are included; the base can also be run with the included AC adapter.

Oregon Scientific made a step back,

This review is from: Oregon Scientific BAR339PA Projection Atomic Clock with Weather Forecaster (Kitchen)
I had an older Oregon Scientific clock (atomic, projection, weather) that works perfectly. It projects the time in crisp red which is the right brightness - you can clearly see it at night, and it does not illuminate the whole room. Also one can rotate the displayed image 360 degrees. My only complaints with that clock were the lack of temperature display on the ceiling and the hard to read clock face (old style LED - dark gray on light gray). One can illuminate the clock face by pressing a button but cannot permanently turn illumination on.
I needed another clock so I decided that this one should be much better, especially with the temperature being shown on the ceiling. That new clock was a huge disappointment. First it is indeed too bright - it is like a projector that illuminates the whole room, although one can get used to it. The image cannot be focused very well, and it has only two positions at 180 degrees from each other. Because of that I can either have the image on the ceiling right (but cannot see well the clock face), or have the clock turned so that I can see it (but the image on the ceiling is at an angle). Another huge problem is the illumination of the clock face. When turned off it is difficult to read but unlike the old model you can turn it on. And there the problems begin. Some designer kid has had fun designing the display with animations and color changes that are supposed to track better the weather changes. So at night, while you are trying to sleep and get used to the bright bluish light from the projector, suddenly color flashes start playing around. My wife almost got a heart attack when this happened for the first time. The verdict - just returned it.

Nice addition to bedroom -- Saves space,

Great product. A bit of a learning curve to get the World Time Zone set, but the remote temperature sensor is on my back porch and sends in a good clear signal upstairs through our two-story home. The only funky thing about it (projector works great) is the projector sleep/lock. If the projector is set to ON it is very bright and lights up the darkened room almost too much. So I turned it off, to touch-on only mode, which strangely goes into lock mode if left inactive for a bit and makes you hold down snooze for many seconds until the display projects again. I mostly have it off now which defeats the cool purpose of hitting snooze to temporarily show the display. Even the main display is really bright and can be like a night light -- but so close to the bed is too bright I found. Still geeking out with it though and love it overall.

This review is from: Oregon Scientific BAR339PA Projection Atomic Clock with Weather Forecaster (Kitchen)
I like all the features of this clock, except that the projection image can only be rotated 180 degrees. It projects both the time and temperature at the same time, which is a feature I wanted most. I like the alarm symbol that is also projected to let you know the alarm is set. When the snooze is activated the alarm symbol (a bell) flashes. It has an AC adapter and a battery backup. The reviews I read said the projection was too bright. I agree that it is rather bright, but it doesn't keep myself or my spouse from loosing any ZZZZZZZs and functions as a nice night light.
