BALDR Atomic Alarm Clock - Large Color Display Digital Desk Clock - With Indoor Thermometer for Temperature & Humidity - Date & Real-Time Moon Phases - Perfect Office Clock or Nightstand Clock (Black)

Two key reasons for this purchase, the automatic setting of time via atomic clock and a clear view of numbers from my couch. Neither could be accomplished! This despite another such clock (sharp) was on same wall at less than 4 feet from it. As for the display, you MUST be viewing from above the horizontal axis. While seated the screen was very faded and near invisible in a dim room, even though it has a backlight. The display was simply washed out. I returned this clock.

Buen producto, pero hasta ahora aquí en México no he logrado que se sintonice con algún satélite.

I consider myself technically challenged. Having said that, I had no issues whatsoever with setting up and successfully using the Baldr atomic electric clock. I purchased it because I'm tired of having to change my headboard alarm clock every time the US changes the time in March and November. I particularly like this clock for the following reasons: 1. The ease of dimming it at night; I previously laid a cloth across my old alarm clock to block the light at night; this clock is so easy to just touch the top and it dims once, and then touch again and it dims very dark, almost completely black. There was no discernable shine into the room. When looking directly at the dimmed clock in the dark, I could barely see a faint gray outline of the time. I'm happy with this. 2. The ease of setting up the clock. The instructions were easy to follow; I did do a manual set up the first time to be sure I could, and I intentionally set the time a little off. Once I got the correct time zone assigned, the clock eventually synched up from Colorado to the exact time. It took a few hours before it synched, so a note to be patient if this is your first atomic clock. 3. Super happy with overall display. Love the size of the letters and numbers and can see them from anywhere in the room; I placed this clock on my storage headboard. Love the date display, the day of the week display, the indoor temperature display (which is accurate for my home), the humidity display and the moon phase display. At this point, there is nothing that I don't like. Note: I haven't used the clock alarm; I typically use my phone alarm. So I won't rate the clock alarm for this review. I already use several BALDR indoor/outdoor corded thermometers and have been very happy with them. (They type where you run a thin cord out the window for the outdoor temp.) While researching atomic clocks before purchase, I considered a SHARP comparable atomic clock, but after reading reviews, decided to go with BALDR atomic clock. Since I already had success with BALDR indoor/outdoor thermometers, I felt confident about the atomic clock purchase. This BALDR atomic clock has been a fantastic choice for me. Highly recommend and would purchase again; in fact, I may purchase another for a family member gift.

アメリカ仕様なので、日本では電波時計として使えません。 日本語の説明書も無く、アメリカのサマータイム設定等、文化の違いでよくわからない言葉の壁もあり、苦労して翻訳しながら初期設定していると、タイムゾーンの設定という項目で、アラスカ・ハワイを含むアメリカの-4～-10の選択肢しか無く、日本の標準時である+9が設定できず、出品者への問い合わせも話が噛み合わないので、電波時計として購入するのは止めたほうがいいです。

I bought this clock thinking it would be good in my bedroom sitting in a spot that is a little high up. It didn't work because when the clock is placed above one's "straight line of sight", you lose the clarity of the numbers on the clock making it hard to read. I like the clock and it is nice and clear and easy to read provided it sits in a position even with your "line of sight" or a little lower. I decided to keep this clock and placed in on my TV stand shelf and it is working out perfectly. The bright setting is too bright for me so I use the medium setting which is perfect. A computer savvy person could set this up in about 5 minutes - took me a little longer but I got it done! Had to manually set the time but once it was set, no problem. Took a little while for indoor temperature reading to get adjusted but is fine now. Overall I'm satisfied with this clock.
