Does what it says but a bit fiddly to use
It has bold figures so can be seen in daylight. At night you have to touch it on the top and it goes blue , but you need to tilt it towards you to see the time, which might not suit everyone. Has the date and temp which are useful.

Nice, good size clock.
Good looking clock. Only the one negative, when you light up you can not see the time from an angle.

Fantastic clock for the price
Purchased this for my mother as she was having difficulty seeing her bedside clock. She is so pleased with this. She can now see what time it is, the day also the date. Great.

CLOCK
I PURCHASED THIS ITEM & THOUGHT IT WAS SLIGHTLY EXPENSIVE FOR WHAT IT WAS, & THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT. I RETURNED THE ITEM AFTER FINDING A BETTER QUALITY ITEM ON OFFER 2 FOR 1. THATS WHAT I LIKE ABOUT ARGOS - YOU CAN ALWAYS RETURN THE TAT WHEN YOU FIND BETTER QUALITY, & PRICE ELSEWHERE.

Flimsy
I returned this alarm clock without trying it as it felt quite insubstantial and poor quality- I purchased a Braun travel alarm which I am very happy with.

Check your reception for automatic radio signal
i live in an area that doesn't pick up the time signal I wish I'd known that. Then had to go on line for setting instructions

This little clock is great, I have on the shelf in my kitchen. Lovely big letters and because it is radio controlled it is always right.

Easy to read screen
I bought 2 of these. Pleased with them. They are easy to read and changed automatically when the clocks went back. They are quite light which makes them feel flimsy but nevertheless seem quite robust.
