DreamSky Alarm Clocks for Bedrooms, Auto Set Digital Desk Clock for Bedside Nightstand, Electric Clock with Dimmable Brightness Dimmer, Auto DST, USB Port, Date, Temperature, Snooze

I purchased this clock to replace an older one that started to lose time after a power outage even with a fresh lithium battery and has several other problems. I looked for a new clock and found this one. I like that it has nice big blue numbers, a dimmer to adjust the brightness of the display, and that it also has the date. It has the room temperature, but it reads a pretty consistant 2 degrees high. That is not a problem you just have to remember to do a little math. It is small which is a good thing since I have it sitting on the night stand. The USB port in the back is also nice to charge the phone. I received it in good shape and after I plugged it in the time came up. All I had to do was set it to my time zone, and enable DST and bingo, it was showing the correct time. We had a power outage last night for three hours and the clock went dark, but when the power came back on it showed the correct time. It was a good decision to buy this clock and I hope that it lasts a long time.

Does exactly what I wanted. A clock for my elderly father that automatically sets the correct date and time and adjusts for DST. Also like the battery backup so when power is lost, it is set when the power is restored. We don't use the alarm function.

The good:The clock has a relatively large digital display. The dimmer goes from really bright to a blank screen with the use of a scroll wheel on the back. The time and alarm are easy to set. You can select your time zone and it has a temperature read out of the room it’s placed in.What can be improved:Alarm:The alarm sound is a single option beep that’s really annoying beep but it does get you up. Alternate sound options would be nice.Hours:The clock only has a 12 hr display and unfortunately no 24 hr option.I would recommend this clock. It’s nothing real fancy but for $22.00 it does the job of displaying the time and waking you up.

This is the perfect alarm clock. The many features(date, temp, big numbers) include a dimmer that goes to dark up to bright and anywhere in between that is best for you. And the over all size is small; it doesn’t take up much room at all. Both my husband and I have one and it’s our favorite clock ever!

Great clock, especially for the money. Numbers are easy to read. Dimmer adjusts the brightness.

It's a beautiful and solid clock and so easy to setup. Just plug in and follow what it tells you to do on the screen- pretty much self-explanatory. You just need to change according to your time zones. I plugged it in to an outlet so no battery used on my clock. The time shown on the clock is very clear as you can adjust the brightness.

GreatAs soon as I plugged it in it was correct time. No fumbling. Dimmer.

The quick rundown:Likes:Dimmer. It is a true 0-100% dimmer, and it can get very bright.Large Display. It is still easy to read the time when it is very dim due to the size of the time.Temp display.Display looks crisp and clean.USB port on the back.Dislikes:Not truly and auto setting clock, it is a preset clock. This is not an atomic clock (read below for more).Dimmer, It is backwards. (See below review)Looks cheap. It was in the $20 range when I bought it and it looks & feels every bit as if it is a $20 clock.Lacks 12/24 hour time option, it is only 12; I like 24 hour time. This will not be much of an issue for most normal folks.I had searched for atomic clocks and this was one that came up. The way the item description reads one would believe it sets itself, this is NOT the case. The clock comes preset from the factory and has a 3v lithium battery that keeps the time. When the clock is plugged in, it turns on the display and will show the correct time in the eastern standard time, you need to set it to your time zone. The instruction manual says that this will change when DST changes, well, if the US changes when DST occurs or it is no longer used, then the auto feature won't work properly because it is NOT an atomic clock. You can disable the DST feature.Another gripe is a head scratcher, it is the dimmer switch being backwards. To dim or brighten the display, you reach over the top of the clock and there is a wheel that you rotate up and down to adjust the brightness. If you rotate it down, it brightens the display, if you rotate it up, you dim the display. Why? Who in the world would think that down is bright and up is dim? The manufacturer could just as easily installed the dimmer the opposite direction, this is just lazy R&D.My biggest reason for the 3 stars is the misleading description on the "auto" feature. It is a descent clock for what you are spending, but I don't love it. My past clock was atomic and I really like that feature now.
