Geevon Small Atomic Travel Alarm Clock with Auto/8s Backlight, 2 Alarm Settings, Temperature, Increasing Beep Sounds Digital Atomic Travel Clock Battery Operated for Bedroom, Bedside, Black

The clock isn't lit unless you hold down a button on the top. You can't read it in the dark without sitting up at least partially. When I set it up, it set for DST. It was 1 hour behind. I've had 2 other atomic clocks (They were larger) that you could set for DST. You would do this even if DST was over for now so that the clock would automatically reset to the correct time when the spring or fall came. This clock doesn't do that. I bought it so it could be read in the dark.

Great little clock. I use it with the “dim screen” mode on so it is illuminated at night and I have not had to change the batteries after 6 months. It is very easy to set and I like the easy on and off for each individual alarms. It has a nice alarm that beeps progressively longer (not louder) as the alarm goes off and also has a snooze mode. The atomic clock function works “ok” but one time it grabbed a different time zone and set itself to an incorrect time that was 2 hours off. Since then I have just left it set to manually adjust the time. It travels well, but is slightly thicker than I expected. I wish there was a protective cover for the front. This is a good clock overall and a good value for the money. It is easy to read as well.

This clock is fine, and the price is very reasonable. My only problem with it is that the self-adjusting function is region-specific and does not work in my country (Israel). I was hoping maybe it would, as I've seen a similar atomic clock here that does.

Product is junk. I own four atomic clocks and warches. I know how their individual requirements for signal reception governs synchrinization. This won’t sync. And no amount of tech support can chsnge that. For shame selling a paperweight and telling buyers its an atomic clock. Beware.

I really like this clock. Due to the location of where I need the clock, I don't expect it to be receiving any radio signals. It is keeping accurate time. It is a good size for where I need to keep it. It has a nice display and all of the features I need, unusual to find in a small clock: month, day, date, temperature. The fact that it takes 2 AA batteries means it is fully powered as contrasted with clocks that take only AAA batteries. As far as setting, there are not 1 but 2 enclosed brochures with clear step-by-step instructions, making setup fast and easy for me. I also like the push button on the top so I can refer to the time in the dark. UPDATE 1 April 24, 2024 Although I keep this clock in a location where I'd not have expected radio signals to reach it, I did leave the radio control on in the settings. For a few weeks it kept perfect time, and the display showed the clock was picking up the radio signal. The clock also switched itself to Daylight Savings Time without my help. So far, so good. A few days ago, however, I noticed the clock time was hours off and the day and date were incorrect. Went into Settings and it appeared that the time zone I'd set had changed on its own. The batteries were new but replaced them and reset everything from scratch. Next day again the day, date, and time were all off. Went into Settings and disabled the radio control. So far, the clock is again keeping the correct time but now there is no radio control. Not sure what happened to cause the issue, after the clock had worked perfectly for the first few weeks.

The clock works OK, but has some glaring deficiencies: - Adjustment for Daylight Saving Time does not work. Even after taking the batteries out to reset the whole mess, it still resets to Standard time. - It is entirely too easy to think the alarm switches are fully engaged when they are not quite pushed all the way up (so the alarm will not sound). The minor gripes: - The "alarm" really doesn't work terribly well, it's a single repeating beep that sounds more like a "battery low" from a smoke detector than a "wake up" alarm. Loud, yes, but with just the single sharp beep, there's no guarantee how long it will take your brain to notice it. - If you'd like to check the time in the middle of the night, the display lights up blindingly bright and stays on for entirely too long (lighting up the whole room all the while). - The time zone setting is in hours from GMT (so Eastern time is noted as -05 and Mountain as -07). Fine if you know your time zone in those terms, but most people I know really don't. Basically, the clock keeps time fine but is not a particularly good alarm clock. Because of the time zone and DST issues, it's also fairly useless if you are a typical USA resident.

PSPSs are fairly common in my area due to frequent high winds and Edison moods. I needed a small, reliable, battery-operated alarm clock (that is NOT my phone) in case the power goes out so I can wake up and get to work on time. I like the size of this clock and its large, visible readout, the brightly illuminated face (when you tap the top), and dual alarms that are easy to set. Unfortunately the atomic clock feature has never worked at all, and I've stood outside under a clear blue sky for many long minutes trying. Also, I've only owned this clock for two months and it has so far twice glitched itself back to 2/17/2021 and some random time, with no magnets nearby and no one even in the room with it, thus rendering it useless. Are we getting EMPs here? Does it have anything to do with the Echo dot in my room? Gremlins?! I don't know, but I'm beyond the return date so I will keep fiddling with it, placing it in different locations around my room, and hoping for the best. I might have simply received a lemon, but my advice is to give this one a miss.

Easy to setup great for home or, even better, travel. I like the option of having a very dim backlight while in a dark room allowing you to read the clock without having to push the top button to turn on the backlight . I learned after purchasing it that there is a light sensor that gradually shuts this feature off as the light in the room gets brighter -saving battery life. I do not use this feature at home because I have a plug-in alarm clock; however, for travel it is nice to be able to read the clock with the lights turned off.

Seems like a decent clock and does pick up the atomic clock signal albeit sporadocally. The downside is it does not have eight time zones as advertised but the only settable zones are UTC -8, -7, -6, -5, making the clock utterly useless outside North America. It is possible to set the time manually but then why not buy a Braun clock for half the price.

The backlight feature was the deal maker for me. To be able to glance at the time when I wake up in the middle of the night. Getting old now and end up needing to go washroom...every night. Checking time with my cellphone is dangerous because I end up checking emails,checking the status of my Amazon orders, etc. Honestly, there must be something wrong with me.HaHa! But being retired,not having a good night sleep which can affect work,doesn't apply to me. This clock also uses AA batteries which I prefer over AAA or 9volt. I paid 10 dollars more to get the atomic clock syncing because where I live I get reliable nightly reception with my old Casio gshock. For travel,I don't feel it's that big of a deal. I am going to Hawaii in 2 weeks and I know it's out of range and I am not wasting my time to see if I can. I know Hawaii is 3 time zones away and I know I am going to wake up 3 hours early. So I want to set this clock to Hawaii time, in the hotel room to remind me I should stay in bed 3 hours more. My watch is an Omega automatic and I don't want to bother setting to 3 hours back for a 1 week trip. Just going to rely on my Samsung cell to tell local time. So I'll give it 5 stars because I can't find any faults yet. I didn't pick up a signal last night..I just got it yesterday and I am not 100% sure I turned on the syncing feature properly or I might have not oriented the clock just so. Trust me... it can be finicky. Vancouver is on the outer edge of coverage and you have to find that sweet spot to get the ionosphere bounce much like how the old ham radio work. Electrical devices nearby can screw up reception.Weather too, so what worked yesterday,might not work tonight. It's not as reliable as getting your home wifi signal or getting a cell phone signal. So you see, if you don't get the 30 dollar one like me,you won't have to fret about not getting your clock to sync. Generally the better quartz modules stipulate 15 seconds per month to be plus or minus. So thats .5 seconds per day anyways. I think the average person could careless about. Hell, even my local radio station is off by about 10 seconds with their hourly time tone. So having the exact time only gives me bragging rights to claim some ownership of something that's almost perfect when in reality,nothing runs on time in my world. People don't get to work ontime,airline flights aren't ontime,stores don't open ontime, buses don't run ontime,doctor appointments aren't ontime,Amazon deliveries not ontime. Jim from Vancouver.

Muy buen reloj, lo he usado ya por varios meses y funciona muy bien. No se ha sincronizado automáticamente con el horario pero supongo que no es problema del reloj. La retroiluminación nocturna es muy buena y no molesta demasiado para dormir.

OK

Funciona muy bien. Es robusto, fácil de usar. La luz tenue de noche es excelente.
