so far so good, working well time is correct!
This clock was bought for my mother and she loves it. But the only issue we both have with it is that at night you can't see the time, so if she needed to know what time it is she has to get up and push the back light button which only stays on for maybe 5 seconds.
At night the clock does not illuminate itself. You have to push a button atop the clock for it to light up but goes dark when you let go and I can't see the time!
The picture is miss leading. It is not light blue background. It says auto set time. but the time is 5 min late compare with all of my clocks and computer.
The clock comes in a box that says "automatic time set". The problem is that It does NOT set itself automatically. Yes, I installed 3 fresh AA batteries. I have quite a few radio controlled "atomic" clocks that work fine, but this is NOT a radio controlled "atomic" clock. This clock has timezone and DST switches on the back, like a radio controlled "atomic" clock would have, but if the clock isn't pulling data from a radio signal what's the point? I really don't see myself or anyone else traveling out of their timezone with this clock. What a disappointment, it's going back...
No matter what other features a clock may have, it must keep accurate time. This clock doesn't do that so I'm rating it low. It loses a minute once every few weeks, so after a couple months this clock will be minutes behind. It claims to be self-setting, however this is misleading. This is not a clock that sets itself via radio from the atomic clock in Colorado. Instead what they mean here is that you manually set the clock, and then it will adjust itself for daylight saving time if you want it to, and also that it has a backup battery so if the primary battery is out for replacement, it won't forget its time. So if the clock could keep accurate time, it might indeed be set-and-forget. But since it loses a minute every few weeks, it's not one I'll keep. I'd recommend getting one that sets itself via radio signal from the atomic clock instead.
