Equity by La Crosse 31038B LCD Calendar Alarm Clock with Temperature, Blue

This clock does all you could want.
1. 3 AA batteries, no wires, good life
2. It is easily readable in all types of light
3. The illuminated letters are very easy to read in the dark or low light
4. It is small enough to fit most anywhere, yet very readable, even from a distance
5. Dead quiet, no ticking or humming noise
6. It is heavy enough so that it is not easily knocked off the table
7. It comes red and blue, both are fine but I prefer the red
In short: It's a clock and does it's job, I like it.

The clock arrived with intact packaging, no sign of damage or violation by external influences. The clock has positions for time set, date set, alarm set, and a "lock" position - in which none of the times can be adjusted and in which the clock should operate as designed. However, the clock will not "lock" and it is impossible for the alarm function to work without this. The clock also makes an odd ticking sound - especially odd since this is a digital clock. the ticking isn't associated with seconds passing, and varies from a very quick to a slow click, indicative of part of the erroneous functioning of this unit. It's too cheap a clock to deal with return shipping costs. We bought a similar clock at a local pharmacy for the same price which functions as one should. If you buy this be prepared that it may not work and won't be worth the time and hassle to get a refund or replacement (Not that J&R have responded to emails...)

They are black and the clock is not illuminated so you can't see the time in the dark making it pointless as a bedside alarm clock. You get a lit up blue screen only when you press the snooze button, which the enclosed directions say uses up the batteries very quickly. Additionally, this clock does not have a power cord, it only runs on batteries.

It was pricey for a little clock, but I bought it anyway because it looked and sounded unique, I thought I'd found something a little different. The shipping was also expensive, and slow. I ordered the clock in black, but when it finally arrived, it was red. You can not detect the descrepancies in description until you open it and put the batteries in. Then, because the clock is sealed in hard plastic that you have to cut open with...Read more
