Amazon.com Product Description
The Digiview RC305EL International Travel Alarm Clock is a compact and attractive travel alarm loaded with great features. This ultra-thin timekeeping device receives all six radio time signals from around the world. No matter where your travels take you, the RC305EL will automatically reset to wherever a time signal is available. Digiview didn't scrimp on style -- this stylish atomic clock looks good in any decor. In timekeeping mode, the clock's two-line LCD panel shows the time, month, date, weekday, and indoor temperature. This clock even features a dual alarm with snooze function, and an enhanced orange backlighting display for easy viewing day or night. Designed for placement on a nightstand, table, or desktop, this compact clock works on the road, at home, or in the office, and it is powered by a single CR2032 battery (not included).

The RC305EL is amazingly accurate. In the U.S., this clock calibrates itself to the world's most accurate clock every night by receiving WWVB 60kHZ radio transmissions. These transmissions contain time information from the U.S. atomic clock source operated by the U.S. Commerce Department. The time can be displayed in 12-hour or 24-hour format, the month and date are displayed digitally in that order, and the weekday is displayed as a two-letter abbreviation in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish or Dutch. This clock even automatically adjusts for Daylight Saving Time. Other atomic time radio signals are available in parts of Europe, Asia, and Japan -- if no time signal is available the clock will still operate in a manual mode.

Customer Reviews

Hate this clock!
The clock is a great size for travel, but I don't like it at all. It doesn't synch quickly enough to the Atomic Clock, the instructions do not tell you which Atomic Clock to select, and changing the alarm time is difficult. If you get up at the same time each day, it would be fine, but if you change your schedule, it's too much work. Had an old Casio clock that was almost as small that worked much better than does this.

Difficult to use/hate it!
This clock is the most difficult electronic clock we have every owned. it is extremely small -- the back lighting poor -- the placement of the function keys on the back require you to try to change time or function with your hands pressing a 1/4" button on the back of the clock -- yet monitoring your "progress" or lack thereof by looking at the front. the print on the case below the LCD describing what you are seeing requires a magnifying glass and this clock keeps resetting us to California time on its satellite pick up! The manufacturer has no readily available phone number (Japanese) so I am about to try to contact them via email for some assistance. My advice to you is to skip this one entirely -- it is a waste of nearly $50!!!!

Does it work?
We bought this clock thinking it would automatically change time when you entered different time zones, but on our trip to Europe, the clock never left California time. I paid about $30 for this thinking it would be a great help on our trip, but it didn't do what it said it would do.
