## Description

Product Description

Review: Seems to be a pretty good buy, but use some common sense - Some have given this clock a five star rating while others call it trash. Hmmmmmm. Undoubtedly, some buyers (such as myself) lucked out and received wonderful product while others received lemons. You could say the same about ANY product, NO MATTER WHERE YOU PURCHASE IT, but realistically, most companies would go out of business in a heartbeat if all they did was build trash. The best advice I can give you is to treat any product you buy (again, no matter where you purchase it) like a trial run. Always keep the box until the return window closes and find where your nearest FedEx/UPS/USPS office is located and don't hesitate or be LAZY to return the product if you feel it is defective or badly engineered. I would be willing to bet that 99.999% of all companies around the world would rather replace the product or refund your money than to get a bad review on desertcart or anywhere else (maybe tell them you plan to give their product a bad review and see what happens?). This La Crosse Technology 617-1485B Atomic Color Alarm Clock with USB Charging Port gave me no problems. Suspecting exaggeration on the part of some reviewers, I purposely oriented the clock in a north/south direction (something a few other reviewers warn not to do because they claim it will not pick up the atomic signal that way). Not only did it IMMEDIATELY pick up and lock onto the signal like a rottweiler biting a home invader on the behind and not letting go, but has been dead balls-on accurate ever since. It advances to each next minute in perfect lock-sync with my cell phone carrier's (and my computer's) time signals. A lucky coincidence? I think not. I believe this is a well-built product, but I'm not saying that some buyers may have received a defective product. Keep those boxes! This clock has a three-brightness display controlled by the snooze bar. The brightest setting lets the display double as a lighthouse and, along with the large digit size, can be read by most anyone (even during the day), even if they have mild vision impairment. Tap the snooze bar once and the display dims so you can get some sleep, but still read the time in a darkened room. Tap it again, and the display turns off altogether. The clock also displays the room temperature and humidity percentage with arrows indicating the temperature and humidity trends (going up, down, or holding steady). The alarm sound is an insistent but non-annoying beeping that's sure to awaken even the deepest of sleepers. The clock also displays the day, month and date in a orange color to distinguish them from other data on the display. There is even a nifty moon phase indicator and, of course, the obligatory USB port to charge your smartphone. I am sad to report that this will be my last review on desertcart. This is because I have not received answers from desertcart concerning questions I had about their Vine membership, so now I will no longer be participating in anything at all. I thank all my fellow shoppers who have given my reviews "helpful" ratings and hope all their future shopping experiences are happy and satisfying. UPDATE: I have owned this product for two years and last night it went belly up! It was a good two years, but last night the display went out and the item is now a piece of trash.
Review: Muy duradero y preciso. - Lo que más me gusta de este reloj es que tiene un modo en el que automáticamente se sincroniza para decirte la hora, fecha, clima y temperatura.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to set and recommend!
*by A***R on 29 January 2025*

Love this clock! I ordered another for a family member because they had difficulty setting the time on their old digital clock (when time changes occurred or power went out). 3 settings for brightness, and has battery back up. Unplug it and it resets on own. Perhaps the comments from others about the clock going blank is related to it being an atomic clock and calibrates to Colorado when needed. When this happens (I’ve had it at night a few times) , it goes blank but comes back on. If u touch the top snooze button it also comes back on. Love the displays of temp, humidity, date and time. Nice colors and large font. Recommend!
