Brookstone's TimeSmart? Self-Setting Clock never needs setting?or resetting. Just plug it in and select your time zone.

It automatically sets the right time, and resets after power outages or unplugging. The extra long-life battery back-up system lasts five years, so the time will always be accurate, even through numerous power interruptions. Plus, the clock adjusts to six time zones, and auto-adjusts for Daylight Savings Time.

Even during power outages, our self-setting clock remembers the correct time, your alarm settings and the date. And it's loaded with user-friendly features!
Fumble-free pop-up alarm button is easy to find first thing in the morning. Dual crescendo alarms with snooze wake you gradually and let you set two separate wake-up times. The easy to read display has an adjustable backlight with five settings to choose from: High, Medium, Low, Dim or Off.

Give yourself one less thing to worry about, and get an easy-to-use alarm clock that sets and resets itself?get a TimeSmart? alarm clock from Brookstone� today.

Too loud, but otherwise a great clock.

"I almost love this clock. I really like the way the alarm works. It's easy to set, and the popup button makes it very easy to see whether or not the alarm is on. When you push one (or both) of the alarm buttons, it pops up to tell you it's set. The wake up time also appears on the display, a nice feature. To turn off the alarm, you merely push the button down. The self setting feature has worked perfectly ..." Read Full Review »

Decent clock, but with flaws

"This would be a great clock if: 1. You could adjust the volume. It starts way too loud and gets annoyingly loud as it crescendo's. 2. the backlight was improved. It is way too bright on the higher settings at night and too dim to see on the lower settings. If those were improved, this would be the perfect alarm clock...." Read Full Review »

"The clock is great. The dimming issues mentioned by a few others is non-existent... there are enough steps to find a level that would work for virtually anyone. However, rather than create 4 or 5 distinct brightness settings for the display, a rheostat would have been a better choice.

    Cons

  • Difficult To Read Display

    Best Uses

  • Bedroom

"Very nice product for those of us that have fairly frequent power outages. Only complaint is that you have to place the clock at eye level in order to read the display at night. If it's up higher, the angle whites out the numbers and you cannot read it. "

"This is the perfect alarm clock. It is so easy to use. You can't accidentally change the actual time because it sets itself. The only things you can change are alarms 1 and 2. Another great feature is that the actual time and both alarm times are displayed on the same screen together. There is no …"  Read Full Review »
