Although all the other advertised features worked, I could not get the clock to sync with the atomic time signal. We live in Las Vegas which is not that far from the signal broadcasting location in Denver, Colorado. We tried in several locations, upstairs, downstairs, and even placed in windows facing the direction of Denver. We let it try to sync for over 24 hours. After no success, we returned the unit.

The backlight is a single light bulb on the left and there is very little in the way of a diffuser behind it to even out the light. At 3 in the morning when you try to see the time it is very difficult to read the time because there is one bright spot. I went to Brookstone and bought there travel alarm clock that has a beautiful even glowing display and I am much happier. Do not buy.

Located in Ontario Canada, the Atomic Clock feature works during the night consistently but is hit and miss during the day. In any case the clock is updated automatically daily which is good enough for me. The single light in the display is adequate but one on each side would be better. Ease of setting alarm time is good, also no confusion over whether it is on or off. Volume of alarm is also good. A very good travel alarm in my opinion.

This a a great product that does what it claims. A little pricey if you don't need ALL of the features.

I love it, works well and is compact for travel and fitting on my night stand.
