 Always on time December 4, 2007
An earlier version of this product lasted me from high school through college and now through a year of marriage as my primary alarm clock. Six years is pretty good when the snooze button gets smacked in groggy anger every morning. Atomic precision and college road trip battle-tested, I'd reccommend it for anyone.
Nice battery-powered alarm clock September 6, 2007
The Oregon Scientific RM8328 is a nice advance in technology and design over their previous versions. It's an alarm clock that will still work after an power failure, and always has the correct time. This model is easier to use than their older RM116E, with the time zone button moved to the back so you won't hit it accidentally. It is far easier to use than the SkyScan 31269 which has buttons that are too easy to hit accidentally, and requires too many button presses in a complex sequence for settings. The radio receiver seems to be more sensitive than previous models, and picks up the time signal quickly. This is a small "travel" model, but OK for everyday use. I wish they had this same design with an even larger screen with bigger numbers for easier viewing without glasses. It's well worth the price.
The best travel clock ever. August 31, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is amazing. The digits are large and legible. It gives you not only the time but also the month and year. At night, just give it a tap and a back-light comes on which is very easy to read in the dark. It uses standard batteries that you can pick up in any drug store or super market. It is very light weight and comes with a protective case for travel. The alarm is very intuitive and easy to set. Finally it has the amazing ability to automatically synch with the atomic clock in Colorado. I checked it against my very expensive atomic watch and it was right on the button. How they can do this for $15 plus shipping is beyond me.
Best travel clock for sound sleepers. June 10, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a wonderful travel clock for sound sleepers. I have used other travel clocks but the alarm failed to wake me up. I am grateful for the previous comments regarding this clock. It is worth the extra money. I have spent so much on travel clocks which were totally ineffective. The clock is small, about 3/4's the length of a pack of cards and about as thick as a pack. When I travel by air I do as current TSA suggests and place the batteries (2 small AAA) in the clock. Thanks to the manufactor and to Amazon and its reviews.
Compact & Accurate Self-Setting Clock May 2, 2007
I bought this Oregon Scientific clock to use while traveling. I'm fascinated by clocks that set themselves to the U.S. atomic-clock, so that was a big factor in my decision to buy this particular model. The clock synchronized to the radio signal in 3 minutes, which I found impressive since the manual states that the clock might need up to 72 hours to achieve synchronization. It also folds nicely, has a very sleek appearance, and is priced very attractively (~$10 on Amazon).
However, a draw-back I must point out is that Oregon Scientific has a major quality-control problem with the back-light mechanism used in their clocks. Both this clock and my Oregon Scientific Starck red clock (PSS01A-R) emit a high-pitched noise while the back-light is on. In the case of this travel clock, the back-light is active only when switched on by pressing the "touch" button on the top of the clock. I cannot stand the sound the high-pitched buzz emitted by some electronics, including this sound. I don't think it will be a major problem since I'll use the clock infrequently, and the back-light even less.
So, if you're looking for a compact self-setting clock, this one is certainly worth considering.
