Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Slim and classy, this travel clock with its own leather case makes a perfect gift. Time is displayed in both analog and digital format, and a projection light with focus knob beams a digital time image onto the ceiling. Radio signals from the U.S. atomic clock keep the clock automatically synchronized; this feature can be disabled if desired. Pressing the snooze button activates for five seconds both the blue HiGlo backlight (a slight hum will be heard) and the projection feature. An included 7.5-volt power adapter enables continuous projection. Two hour-offset functions allow a choice of time zone and let travelers see current time locally as well as at home. Select one of five languages to display the day of the week, and choose either a 12- or 24-hour format for the time. The crescendo alarm starts beeping gently, then builds in intensity and will go off automatically after two minutes unless the 8-minute snooze button or alarm button is pressed. Measuring 4 by 2-3/8 by 3/4 inches, with buttons and projection knob on top, the clock runs on two AAA batteries (included), and is covered by a three-month warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

3.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced, July 1, 2003
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Oregon Scientific RM888PA Travel Projection Clock (Kitchen)
This thing is extremely overpriced for what it does. The casing appears to be metallic but is actually plastic. There isn't an option to have the indiglo backlight to remain on when plugged into an electrical outlet. The analog time feature is more of a novelty. The atomic clock synchronization is VERY SLOW to respond. Most importantly the projection feature isn't able to be flipped or turned so one is limited in positioning the clock on the nightstand. Once positioned properly the projection feature makes glancing for the time very convenient when in bed. Other than that the only thing this clock has going for it is its compact design for business travelers and battery backup in case of electrical outages.

2.0 out of 5 stars Better than nothing, October 4, 2004
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Oregon Scientific RM888PA Travel Projection Clock (Kitchen)
This projection clock is better than nothing. However, the projector is backwards in my opinion. If put on your headboard with the clock face facing outward, the projection on the ceiling will be backwards. That means, to have the projection facing right, the clock face must face the wall behind you. Also, if you want to display the time on the wall, you must lay the clock down on its side, the side that contains the AC adaptor plugin, which means if it's plugged in, the protrusion will prevent it from laying flat -- correctible if you have a hole in the tabletop (such as a cable guide, as I have). Overall, I'm disappointed at the misorientation of the projector and lack of positioning options. Having the projector orientated correctly with the clock face and having the projector on a swivel would correct all problems, but I haven't found such a product.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, December 18, 2004
This review is from: Oregon Scientific RM888PA Travel Projection Clock (Kitchen)
Ceiling projection never worked very well, and synchronization with atomic clock was haphazard at best. After using this about one year, the projection numbers seem to be partially burned out. The only good thing is the design of the actual clock, which is attractive.
