Amazon.com Review
Don't just be on time--be atomically on time with this ExactSet alarm clock from Oregon Scientific. Designed by experts in radio-controlled technology, the ExactSet clock receives a steady stream of signals from the U.S. Atomic Clock in Boulder, Colorado. The result is an extremely accurate timepiece that updates itself six times a day, never needs resetting, and adjusts automatically for daylight savings. The large LCD screen features icons for time zone and radio-frequency strength, plus the date and day in English, French, or Spanish. Oregon Scientific also builds in a crescendo alarm, eight-minute snooze, and a pleasant blue HiGlo backlight. The broad snooze button is easy to find, even in a half-sleep state. Powered by two AAA batteries, the device alerts you when battery power is low. Because of how it functions, this clock only works in the continental U.S. --Emily Bedard

Summary: Great clock, but could be improved 2003-05-11
Comment: This is a great little clock, here in Colorado it locked immediately on to the signal. You don't have to change the time when daylight savings time starts or ends, the time was still correct the morning of the change! I wish they would put these in VCR's and all appliances to rid us forever of the annoying flashing 12:00!!The clock controls could could be improved, however. It is dumb to put the button for changing the time zone on the front, many times I have inadvertantly hit it and then you are off by an hour. Put the button on the back! There is also only one alarm, which I find a hassle since I have to get up at different times during the week.

Summary: Good clock. 2001-11-23
Comment: 4 stars instead of 5 as the style may not have universal appeal. But the clock is very well behaved. After pulling out the protective tabs on the battery (included) it tried to receive the time signal. It failed the first time (as expected this time of year) but by morning it had succeeded in phoning home. The alarm is a little tricky to set. It took me a minute to figure out without reading the instructions (hey I enjoy a challenge). The alarm is very polite. It starts out with a mild peep that repeats about once a second, and then builds slowly to a crescendo of beeping. It never gets loud enough to wake the dead, so if you are dead, you might want to consider another clock. The display is backlit; pressing on the light/snooze bar on the top lights its face for about 3 seconds. The display is large enough to be visible from across the room. The clock itself is constructed of thick plastic. It feels like OS has included extra weights in the base, so be careful when flinging it across the room; it may dent walls.
