Amazon.com Review
Check the time or temperature from the comfort of your bed with this atomic projection alarm clock from La Crosse Technology. Accurate to one-tenth of one second per day, the clock automatically adjusts itself for time and date using radio signals from the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Colorado. It also reads the temperature indoors and at one included remote unit, which can be mounted up to 80 feet away. Designed to shine the time or the temperature onto a wall or ceiling up to 10 feet away, the clock's projection arm includes 180-degree rotation, automatic focus, and adjustable intensity. It illuminates for three seconds on battery power and can be turned on constantly with the included AC adaptor. The clock also comes with a lot of nice extras, including a dual alarm with snooze, a push-button EL backlight, 12- or 24-hour time mode, and temperature readings in F or C. The forecast function reads air pressure changes to make simple weather predictions and is about 75% accurate for 12-20 hours. Sleek and straightforward in design, the clock measures 5-1/4 by 1-1/4 by 3-1/2 inches and includes a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

good but could be better
Works well but has a few drawbacks. I had no problem syncing the time, I just left it overnight and the next morning it was set. The outdoor temp feature has been pretty accurate so far. I've had it for a week and it is always within 2-3 degrees of the weatherbug temp. However, the drawbacks are that it has no constant backlight, so it is difficult to read the time during the dark, you have to press teh snooze button to make the backlight show, which only lasts a few seconds anyway. It wouldn't be a problem since there is a projection feature, however, the projection is too small for me since I wear glasses so I can't read the time during the night without my glasses. And the projection isn't very bright so even a little bit of light in the morning will prevent you from seeing the projection. Overall, its an alright clock, especially if you don't wear glasses, but I would have prefered a clock with a constant backlight and larger and brighter projection.

Nice little clock for the price...
I bought this clock as a gift, but couldn't resist one for myself as well. I love how the clock automatically syncs with the atomic clock. Knowing that the time I am seeing is as true as possible is a neat feature. The projection feature is not as large as another projection clock I own, but it works nicely. I agree that it could be a bit brighter, but in the dark it's easily readable. In addition, the temperature reading is a nice addition. A previous review stated that the reading was off by a few degrees, which makes me wonder if they have it in the sunshine. My reading has been right on for the last three weeks. I like how you can set the projection display to rotate from time to temp. It's nice waking up in the morning and knowing how warm it is outside before you even get out of bed. Takes any guessing out of your morning.

For the price, this is a great little clock. I do wish that the backlight stayed on continuously, but with the projection display, it's really not necessary. Setting the alarm is also a bit confusing. You'll need to read the manual to figure it out.

Misleading...
1. weather forecast picture is misleading. sunny and rainy picture doesn't represent actual forecast. manual says. "rainy cloud" just mean "it could get worse". whatever that means...

2. Outside Temperature is off by 5 degree. display shows one tenth of degree yet it doesn't serve any purpose.

3. Manual recommand not to press any button for 10 minutes after put in the battery. well... clock doesn't synch unless the time region is defined first. If you live in east coast, like me, you would automatically think it's set to the region by default. You still and MUST press "Set" button 10-20 times (set initial time clock),then leave the clock in 'signal zone' for 10 minutes to have it synched.

4. Power adater hook up is absolutely amazing. goes in so easy and it lock itself. then you can only pull it out with a tweezer. yes... it's pain. you have to see it to believe it.

5. vertical viewing angle is off balanced for LCD screen. if you look straight to the display it will look all blurry.

6. back light is too dim. and it need to stay on longer.

function and features.. it's all there... but just not quite there.
