For the punctual minded
Most of my life I’ve had early shifts for my occupation (i.e. being into work at 6:00 am or earlier). I used to have a clock that didn’t have a battery backup nor did it keep the correct time. I saw this model clock that had both plus the time projection on the ceiling so my wife didn’t have to try to roll me over to see the clock, so I decided to give it a try. The clock looks a bit futuristic, but that is its function. The exact time feature is great. I set the houses clocks to it whenever the power goes out, which is regularly (where in a rural town). The battery backup is another great feature that I’ve never had prior to this. The only drawbacks that I have with the clock is that in order to project the time on the ceiling so that you can read it on a decent angle, is to turn the clock so that you can’t the time on its face. You either get to see the one on the ceiling or you get the face of the clock, not both. Another drawback is the buttons on the clock don’t make much sense when you need to program the alarm. Once you know the buttons to push, its easy, but they aren’t marked well. Hope this review is helpful for you.

I wish that I had bought one for myself, too!
This clock is great! I bought for my son aged 11 for a Christmas gift. He loves it. It is supposedly from 2 to 10 minutes to fix automatically. Ours took twelve (our children were in a panic of small size), but the wait was worth the extra. Time will show red on your ceiling in Nice, a large number … probably 6 inches by 15 inches and it is very clear and easy to see, even when it is not completely dark in the room. I only wish that the blue back light does not stay lit. When you press the button, it stays on for 5 seconds. I must say that the red numbers on the ceiling scare our 5 year old son, but he did not mind when the position of the clock shines on the wall. Overall, I would have thought to buy a second one for my room. It is a real bargain and worth buying.

NICE CLOCK but buy it LOCAL and SAVE YOUR RECEIPT
I’ve had four of these clocks so far and only two have survived. Don’t get me wrong… it’s a GREAT clock with easy and logical buttons and features, but one was dead on arrival and another one lost half of its print on the screen after only two months. BUY ONE LOCALLY if possible and definately save your receipt and packaging so that you can return or exchange it if it acts up. When we bought our first one several years ago, it was REALLY expensive. Recently, I found one at my local Target and it was much more reasonable. This clock is great for me as an adult and two of my children use it as well. The time projection on the ceiling is a nice feature for children that sleep in a top bunk bed. It’s easy for a young child to turn the alarm on at night and off in the morning. My six year old uses his faithfully. The time is dead-on accurate and doesn’t have to be re-set after a power failure. All busy moms should appreciate that feature. From now on, I will always buy an atomic clock for my kids!
