Digital camera reviews of Sony ICF-C318 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio with Dual Alarm (White)
Digital camera Review: Does what it's suppose to do.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a simple inexpensive clock that does what it's suppose to do. It looks great, is build solid, and is very easy to use.Digital camera Review: Don't be misled!
Summary: 2 Stars
Don't be mislead: "automatic time set" doesn't mean that it uses the atomic clock to update the time. "Automatic time set" means they preset the time at the factory. The clock arrived with a time that differed seven minutes from the actual time (as displayed on an existing atomic clock), so you still need to set the clock and to periodically readjust the time.Digital camera Review: Dual Alarm Function Worth It
Summary: 4 Stars
Two alarm feature very easy to program. All functions work great. Battery backup and automatic time updates. I bought a more expensive Sony multi-alarm clock a few months ago and it works OK, but this clock is by far a better and less complicated unit.Digital camera Review: Easty to see, but the backup battery system doesn't work
Summary: 3 Stars
The clock is easy to see, what I really wanted, but unfortunately the backup system that should keep time when the power goes out doesn't work, even after trying a couple brand new batteries.Digital camera Review: Easy to operate and see without glass on
Summary: 5 Stars
Sometimes, simple is best. I like that you can adjust the brightness of the display to such a dim level that its really only visible clearly in the dark. That is perfect for my mate. I used to turn the old alarm clock face down because the light bothered me so much. I also like that the alarms are turned on with dials. It means I can easily find it in the dark. No more fumbling around, trying to find the right button. The volume & type of beep is also great for us. It wakes you up, but isn't jarring. Its actually a pretty pleasant way to wake up. We are quite pleased. I love this clock so much that after buying the first one for myself, I went out and bought one for my daughter & then my husband as well. We have a lot of power outages where we live, so that is why we initially bought it. It does work wonderfully for that, but it also has some other great features.
