2.0 out of 5 stars Skip this clock, July 2, 2007

By	J. Green (Long Island) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The clock changes color based on temperature and anounces the time, date and temperature. The color changing does work as advertised, but there are many problems with this clock. It is hard to see the numbers on the clock as it is always too dark for my eyes no matter what color it changes to. The temperature seems to run too low. There is no atomic time adjustmnet so you have to set the clock manually. The radio sounds very bad. It is poorly made as the knobs keep falling off. The worst problem is that when you set the alarm to the radio you hear the alarm part, then the anouncement and then finally the radio and there is no way to set it differently then that. The alarm always goes on no matter what you do and it is too loud and there is no volume for the alarm part, just the radio. This is just a poorly made and poorly thought out clock. True that it has some features other clocks do not have, but the problems outweigh any feature it has. Their R-495 model is a better clock with the same features except for the voice anouncement and is cheaper so I would go with that model instead of this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great idea but very poorly made, December 3, 2007

By	Eric Bauer (Germantown, WI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We purchased this clock to help my wife after she lost some of her sight. It tell you the time, temperature and weather forecast for the day - when it works. For unexplainable reasons, the radio alarm will fail to shut off, leaving you forced to either turn the volume down or reset the entire clock. If you choose to reset the clock, the buttons to reset the time are so small and poorly made that pressing the hour button frequently results in the minutes advancing also. The inability to turn off the radio alarm happens about once every two or three weeks. While this product has many good features (changing color of the display to match the outside temp for example) none of it matters when you can't rely on the product performing consistently. Avoid this clock.
