La Crosse Technology WT-2165U Travel Alarm Clock Review

La Crosse Technology WT-2165U Travel Alarm ClockWhile I sympathize with other reviewers who find that "atomic" clocks IN GENERAL do not suit their needs, it is grossly unfair to criticize this excellent product based on the fact that ANY "atomic" clock is inappropriate for them. Yes: if you travel outside of the continental United States (and yes, this includes Alaska and Hawaii) then this, or ANY "atomic" clock, will require you to set the time manually. Now that that's out of the way, I'll explain why this is the best travel alarm I've found. (1) I find the self-setting feature to be extremely useful and reliable. If I want to use the clock right away, then I set it once when I install the battery. From then on it keeps the clock set for me (this includes Daylight Saving settings). If I don't need to use the clock right away, then I let it set itself, which sometimes takes overnight to happen, but often happens during the day too. (Note: as with any atomic clock, you do need to specify the time zone that you are in.) This clock (and LaCrosse Technology clocks in general) receives NIST signals better than the Oregon Scientific atomic clocks I own (and I own several of each). (2) The display is very large and readable, and allows you a choice of what you want to see below the time (date, or day/date, or seconds, or alarm 1 setting, or alarm 2 setting). (3) There are two alarm settings -- nice when you're traveling with a companion. (4) Giving the clock a slight push to rock it back on its stand lights the excellent blue electroluminscent display, and cycles the lower display through both alarm settings. (5) The clock is solid and well-made, and makes for a sturdy and no-fuss item when the cover is folded closed. (6) The Snooze Alarm defaults at 10 minutes, but you can change its duration if you want. (7) The alarm is not overly harsh (as much as any alarm can be). I've taken this travel alarm on many cross-country trips and have appreciated its nice design and thoughtful features. I have no connection whatsoever with LaCrosse Technology, but I am a very pleased repeat customer. This travel alarm was the first LaCrosse Technology product I bought, and I am glad that I found it.
