La Crosse Technology 617-249 1.8" Curved Blue Led Atomic Dual Alarm Clock,

Me encantó, su diseño se ve elegante y lo mejor es su batería de respaldo por si se va la luz, siempre esta a la hora.

This is a quality alarm clock. I love the sapphire blue numbers , they just spell sleep and relaxation , the alarm has high and low volume , high and low brightness , and of course perfect time being an atomic clock , I wish I would have this item earlier

I own other atomic clocks and watches. They are nice for people who care about the exact time. All clocks and watches begin losing the correct time by a few seconds within a day or two. Atomic clocks automatically reset their time every day, so the most they ever get off by is one second. In several months, an ordinary clock may be off by a few minutes. What makes this atomic clock very rare, is that it is LED (Light Emitting Diode) instead of LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or analog (uses hands to tell the time.) All LED clocks require that they are plugged into the wall to display the time. LCD clocks often just run on batteries that you must replace each year. In addition, you cannot see them in the dark unless they are back lit. If they are back lit all the time, these clocks must also be plugged in to house current. LEDs are much easier to see, day or night. Unlike LEDS, LCDs are dependent on the light in the room and their visibility varies depending on the viewing angle. I bought this LED clock to sit below my 85” TV. The dimmer setting prevents this clock from distracting me while watching TV (or taking a nap.) I found the two light settings to be perfect - bright works even in the most sunny location and Dim is low enough to sleep. I did not need to read the simple instructions to start using the clock. As soon as I plugged the clock in, it set itself to the atomic time. It was off by 3 hours, so I changed the Time Zone to correct it. (just choose a number between 1-4, representing the number of US Time Zones.) The controls on the top of the clock are simple, which is welcome. Another setting is Daylight-Savings-Time (DST), which you set to ON if your area uses DST. A little dot lights up on the front of the clock to indicates this setting is ON. I was surprised to find the clock is thin enough so that the legs rest comfortably on my sound bar in another room - even with the power cord plugged into the rear! So I ordered a second one for that location. This is in a very sunny room and while the LED is bright enough on the high setting, glare from the windows can interfere at certain angles. See video as I walk about the clock on a sunny day. I use my Casio analog atomic watch to check the accuracy of my other atomic wall clocks. It's cool to see them all set to the exact second. After a week, I noticed one new LED clock was off by a few seconds. After experimenting, I found neither of these LED clocks can connect to the Atomic Time when facing South, and my second clock faces south. They must face West - toward Colorado. (I'm in Indianapolis.) So, the clock that will be facing south, I'll have to manually turn it towards the west and press the Time Set button whenever I want it to be accurate to the second. I did not test the alarms or the USB charger features. Note: Internet and mobile devices rely on GPS for the time. GPS uses the atomic clock time indirectly so they are very accurate too, though they may be off by a few seconds.

Nice big bright blue numbers. Fairly straightforward to set the time. It keeps gaining time.
