DreamSky Alarm Clocks for Bedrooms with Battery Backup Auto Set Digital Clock with Date and Day of Week

Just received this alarm clock a few days. It is super simple to set the time, alarm and adjust brightness. I put batteries in it to verify that it would keep the time/day and then unplugged it, and then plugged it back in, worked like a charm. There is no am/fm if that is what you are looking for, this may not be the alarm clock for you. It states the alarm goes off with ascending beeping frequency, which lasts for 2 minutes. No jarred awake nor blaring sounds. The snooze feature allows you to catch more sleep. I've not tried the alarm yet but again sounds perfect for me. I also appreciate the date/month/moon/RH (relative humidity) on the display... great little alarm clock and looks very nice on my nightstand. Read more

Got it as a Christmas gift. It looks great. Small and compact, but very easy to see. I put it on the end table next to the head of my bed. It has brightness that’s adjustable, so when you want to go to sleep, you can turn it down low. Remembers the time, even when unplugged. It has an alarm that’s interesting, kind of a beep-beep-beep, not as annoying as most, but wakes you up. Shows other interesting data, temperature, humidity. It also has an extra port for plugging in whatever, e.g., a phone. Very nice item. Read more

For the past 20 or a thousand (I've lost count) years when I needed to know the time I relied on the cable box. It always stood at the ready giving me the correct time. It somehow magicalky seemed to know the exact moment we turned our clocks forward or back. It was a flawless system. I hadn't quite considered that when we "cut the cord" getting rid of cable a few weeks ago. All of a sudden I didn't have a reliable system for knowing what time it was. So I searched here on Amazon . The first clock I found just couldn't connect to the atomic clock at all so back it went and I bought this one instead. Perfection right out of the box. I plugged it in and it was instantly accurate. The only input it needed from me was whether I wanted it to adjust for daylight savings time (I did). The size is perfect for me. I can see it from anywhere in the room. You can set the brightness level manually. The clock also gives you the day, date, temperature, relative humidity and phases of the moon. I need to be closer to the clock to see those settings but that really doesn't matter to me. Your eyes might be better than mine. I LOVE knowing moon phases and didn't realize this clock had this setting when I bought it . I consider that a major bonus. BOTTOM LINE: great, no nonsense clock. Sets up instantly. Clear and easy to see from across the room and has other useful info along with the time, including moon phases. Read more

I love this clock. It has the date, temperature, alarm and usb for cellphone charging. Everything you need to get your day going. Read more

Nice clock with lots of features and battery backup. With zero issues, so far, i can say it is worth the money. I would purchase again if it lasts more than a year.. (<2 weeks) Read more

I spent hours over many days during 6 week sorting through available clocks on Amazon and other sites. Initially I passed this up due to a lower than average review rating. However decided to give it a try and ended up ordering 3 more. Now have a total of five. Will update review if they fail. Have had thee clocks now for 2-3 weeks. Set up was impressive! After the first two arrived, I was so blown away, that I ordered 3 more. After unpacking, I inserted 3 AAA batteries in a couple (and not in others) and plugged in. I did not have to set any time! It set itself automatically on my time zone. That met my most important need. We live where thunderstorms take down our power for a few minutes to a few hours a few times every month, sometimes weekly. Occasionally lose power for a day or more. It drives my husband and I crazy having to reset clocks so frequently. We have a few critical clock needs- large font, ability to dim at night, able to display time during power outages and ability to have the clocks display the correct time automatically when power comes back online. Unbelievable that no one makes such a product! Unless it's battery powered only. So when I finally gave in and looked at "battery" clocks, this one popped up. "Battery only" clocks are too small for our needs as they are mostly designed for travel and when not backlit, are hard to read. Battery clocks just can't put out the wattage needed for a bright, year round display. So I kept searching for a clock that plugs into the wall and had an option for batteries to keep time during power losses. This clock plugs into the wall and works both with and without batteries. When power goes out, if batteries are inserted then the clock face is able to display all readings when the Light/Snooze button is tapped. It displays for about 30 seconds. Very helpful if power goes out in the middle of the night and you are wondering what time it is. It also displays a "low battery" icon when they need to be replaced. We put one in the garage with batteries and another in the guest bedroom. The other 2 are in a family room and game room and they didn't need batteries as we don't use those rooms when we lose power. When power is resumed the clocks all display correct time, no need to reset. Of note, the clocks may have a 1-2 minute variance of displayed time but for us, that isn't an issue. Any clock we manually set, also has that same varience. Should an exact time be needed, we have mobile phones and tablets. The six inch high display, is absolutely perfect! Aging eyes need more space between characters. This clock has a good 1/4" space from all the edges and 1/2" between hours and minutes. The time is displayed 2 inches high on the upper two-thirds of the screen. This thoughtful elevation makes it easier to view than a smaller 2-3" clock when propped up in bed reading or laying down because it's at eye level. The 2" white font is easier on our eyes than our previous 2" red LED clock displays. We keep the Bright setting (5 levels) on high for the all the clocks except for the ones in our bedroom and guest room. Those are kept on Auto Bright which means it self dims to the lowest setting between the hours of 9pm to 7am and then retuns to the high setting. The minor drawback is that when the power goes out (even with batteries inserted) the clocks will default to the highest Bright setting, so the Auto setting needs to reset. The purpose of the batteries seem to be soley the ability to see all the displays (time, temp, humidity, battery level, time zone, day, date, am/pm, moon phase) when the Light/Snooze button is pressed. A huge unexpected plus for us with this clock is the built in Day, Date, Temperature and Humidity displays. Being retired, we are used to minor confusion of the days which are tracked mostly because of medical apts. Seeing the day and date helps us become centered when awakening. Living in FL the temp and humidity are quite useful as well. The clock size is perfect. Not too small to be easily knocked over accidentally or knocked off when cleaning the table top. It's lightweight to pick up when dusting and easy to grasp. The base is firm and keeps the clock on its placed location. The body design doesn't accumulate dust on the back. The power cord is long enough to reach nearby outlets from a table top. While not designed as a "travel clock"' should we have to travel, I would definitely pack one of these in our suitcase! So often we have to unplug hotel clocks due to too much night time brightness, alarms going off in wee morning hours and not displaying the correct time. This clock displays the Time Zone (EST, CST, est.) which is so needed when traveling! Not to mention the temp display which helps with decisions over hotel thermostat adjustments. It's so very difficult to locate and read those wall thermostats without a flashlight and glasses. Another travel plus is having the extra USB at our bedside. Our order for a generator install at this new home has been held up for 5 months due to shortages of propane tanks. However, these clocks will still be very much needed as the generator doesn't kick in until we have a 2-3 min loss of power. (A safety/compatibility issue with the tie in to our electricity provider to ensure its a true power loss and not a flicker situation.) Very pleased to have the correct time displayed regardless of power loss or flicker. My one reservation is if they will hold up over time. A handful of older reviews said they gave out after a few months. If that happens I will update this review. Read more

This clock is easy to use. Plug it in, and it sets to the correct time!! The different levels of brightness are a nice feature!! Read more

Just what I needed. The numbers are visible and as soon as I took it out of the box and plugged it in it set itself up perfectly! The temperature reflects inside instead of outside but that isn’t matter to me. Read more
