I've had this clock for 1 1/2 years now. One of those rare items that I bought, turned on, and it's run great ever since. As soon as I turned the clock on, everything was already accurately set (time, date, moon phase) except the time zone was eastern time. It actually came with a paper manual, so very quick to flip it open and read how to change the time zone. It's easy to operate. The temperature agrees with our HVAC system. It loses a couple minutes over six months or so, but easy to update. The screen is big enough that everything is readable, even from the other side of the bedroom, yet it fits easily on a small nightstand. A really excellent little clock, especially for the price.

El reloj muestra la hora, el día y la fecha así como la temperatura y humedad del ambiente en números y letras de buen tamaño y buen contraste por lo que se leen muy bien.

I had to buy an additional adapter to suit my electricity supply system

After researching all kinds of atomic clocks for weeks, I chose this clock for my bedroom because I wanted a small quality clock that displays information I really want to see without displaying so much information that I'd have to search the device for it. I decided against clocks that display outside weather because these clocks tend to be larger and tend to overwhelm you with information. This clock is perfect for what I decided is important: accurate time and date. It is slightly larger than my iPhone 7 and is very well made. It looks beautiful on my nightstand. Its backlighting is very easy to adjust and is very bright on its highest setting. Its lowest setting is perfect at night, and its auto setting, which displays the highest brightness setting during the day (7 AM-9PM) and then automatically switches to the lowest brightness setting at 9 PM, is my favorite because it is so convenient. The clock came pre-programmed for my time zone with both time and date correctly set as soon as I plugged it in. I love that it is powered by a plug-in power adapter so that I don't have to worry about batteries wearing out.The clock also displays inside temperature, which seems to display a bit lower than the actual temperature, but this information is not important to me. If I want to know the temperature, I'll look at my thermostat.I saw several reviews that commented on the limited angle of view, but I do not have any problems viewing the time from above and below and from an angle, unless the angle is extreme.

This is really a great clock, the instructions are precise and written in proper English! Set up was incredibly simple, the clock was already set to my time zone (EST) and all I did was switch the temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius. It also has not skid pads on the bottom so no worries about scratching furniture which is a nice feature. I was at first worried that the white plastic frame would be too white and cheap looking but in fact it's a bit duller then the picture shown and is well finished, doesn't look cheap at all. The daylight saving time feature is also a plus, no more having to add or subtract an hour twice a year, it's done automatically. The backup batteries are not included which would have been nice, but certainly not an issue. I was looking at other clocks which were twice the price and basically offered the same features, I chose this one initially based on cost and I'm very happy I did. The size is just perfect for a night table. I'm just hoping it won't lose time which based on other reviews doesn't seem to be a problem. I'd highly recommend this one, you won't go wrong!

There are a lot of reasons to like this AcuRite 13040 Clock, and I'd recommend it to anyone. It's almost, but not quite, perfect. And it's a lot better than the dozens of clocks I looked at before I found this one.LIMITED VIEWING ANGLE: The clock does have one significant issue: the viewing angle is very limited if you're not looking down at the clock. (This is due to it using LCD rather than LED technology.) So if you want to place the clock on a shelf rather than a bedside table, you might not be able to see it very well unless you make arrangements to tip it forward. We use the clock in our children's room, on a shelf that's about 50 inches off the ground, so I'll have to come up with a way to tilt it forward. It would be great if they made a version of this clock with an adjustable angle, that let it be tilted to suit the placement so it could be used on a shelf. The side-to-side viewing angle seems somewhat better.Now some of the many things I like about this clock:LOOKS GREAT: The clock looks great, with readable letters. The colors are nice. It's not as harsh as the LED lights in other clocks. The numbers are about 1-1/4 inches high, which is readable up to about 6-8 feet away.ADJUSTABLE, SUITABLE BRIGHTNESS: There are six brightness levels, and the brightness is easily adjusted by using the up and down arrows. The lowest level works well without lighting up the room more than necessary. Having white/colored numbers on a black background also helps reduce the unnecessary light.AcuRite has put some real effort into this important feature. It seems so few other clock makers have a usable brightness adjustment - lots of people using other clocks say that even at the lowest setting they are much too bright. That's certainly the case for the clock that this AcuRite clock replaced.AUTO DIM: The auto dim feature will switch the clock to the lowest brightness level from 9 pm to 7 am, then back to the highest brightness level. The time and level is not adjustable, which is a bit of a shame, but those times and brightness levels work for us. (I had wondered if this feature adjusted to the room's brightness - it does not, it's fixed to that time and level.) You are not required to use this feature - you can easily set the levels and adjust it as needed.THOUGHTFUL DESIGN: Clearly they spent time thinking about and refining the design and other features as well. Using the functions is straightforward.GOOD INSTRUCTIONS: It comes with a well-written instruction booklet. And in a nice touch, the French and English versions are separate booklets, so you can just keep the one you need.TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY: It's useful to know the temperature and humidity, and this clock makes it easy to keep track. Just note that the height and location will affect the readings. For example, the temperature at the height of the bedside table will probably be a little lower than a thermostat on the wall.GOOD QUALITY: The quality seems good, given the price of the clock. It doesn't seem overly cheap, like so many product these days.BATTERIES: The clock has a button-cell battery installed, and arrives with the time set. (You may have to adjust the time zone.) It will operate using two AAA batteries, but it seems you have to press the snooze button to see the time - the display is off by default when on battery.We don't use it as an alarm clock, so I haven't tested the alarm.

It is very nice alarm clock. Working perfectly till date. Thanks to the seller and amazon.in for supplying me a such a good cute clock.
