About this product
This alarm clock keeps you on time with radio-controlled accuracy that updates automatically, so there's no faffing with manual adjustments. The seven-colour backlight adds visual interest on your bedside table, and the snooze function gives you extra minutes when needed. It has a digital display switching between 12 and 24-hour formats, plus a calendar and temperature display showing degrees in Celsius or Fahrenheit. The day appears in five languages, English, Italian, Spanish, French and German, handy if you're learning or fancy a change.
The radio-controlled MSF signal keeps the time spot-on without you lifting a finger, and the continuous alarm makes sure you actually get up. You can power it with three AAA batteries or use the included DC adapter, depending on what suits your setup. The adjustable display and built-in thermometer give you the information you need at a glance. It's compact enough to fit on most bedside tables, and the night light function means you can check the time without getting blinded in the middle of the night. It comes with a one-year guarantee from the manufacturer.

Customers Say
Compact projection alarm clock with clear time display, easy setup, and auto time update. Bright projection and backlight colors praised, but loud button beeps and limited projector angle are common issues.

does what it says
Set up took 5 minutes, love the clear display. found even on dim too bright in the room for me but im used to it being dark....i turned the display background off and left the projection on to ceiling . yes it does make a bleep sound when changing settings but its not like you are doing that all the time. it states it updates around 2am and time has stayed accurate.

Could be better
This clock mostly works okay but it could and should be much better. Every button push emits a very loud beep which is too intrusive for a bedside device. The backlight is too bright, even when dimmed so must be turned off. It cannot be turned on temporarily which would mitigated this issue. The projection is too bright, too big and at an awkward angle (90° to face). To position comfortable on the ceiling I have to turn the clock face away from the bed. I reduced the projector aperture with a sticker with a hole which I made. This reduces the brightness so it is just about acceptable. The projector is disabled during MSF clock update, which can take many minutes and a low battery indication shows on the clock face if no battery is installed. It is a shame that this tidy little projector clock with auto time update has these small but annoying flaws. On balance, with the modification I made, I decided to keep it.

Don’t buy if your relying on the projector
It’s ok as long as you don’t need to know the time while it’s trying to connect to the radio signal, which is 1 am, 2 am or 3 am depending how successful it is on the first attempt. The projector will turn off while trying to find the signal. Very annoying. I’d return it only I threw the box out before I realised.

Not fit for purpose
Useless clock have to keep setting the time because it looses time overnight & always by 2hrs

Very versatile
This was purchased for my disabled and bed bound husband who frequently wakes during the night and is unsure what time it is now he doesn't have to put on his bedside lamp to check the time

Great alarm clock .I just plugged it in and it automatically sets the correct time .I like the how it also projects the time onto the ceiling.Its well worth the price

Great buy
I bought this for university as I was struggling to make it in time for my lectures, and it’s been gods gift. It’s very loud so you are assured to wake up on time for anything you need, and in darkness it is very bright so helps you to get a good sleep pattern

Hello there,
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Precision Radio Controlled Projection Digital Alarm Clock: ''The projection light will remain on constantly when plugged into the mains.
The projection should stay on permanently if you want it to, you should only be able to turn off by pressing the on/off projection button on the top of the clock.''
Thank you for using Q and A.
