This clock looks cool and would be awesome if it really worked.
the alarm isn’t really loud and I have it set for the loudest it can go
The clock isn’t back lit or anything so in the middle of the night if you want to know what time it is you have to fumble and hope you’re not turning on the radio or hitting other buttons.
The weather does not actually work, it says its like a 100 degrees when its like 30 outside
Also it doesn’t really keep the right time.
I do not recomend this clock to anyone. I’m actually trying to find something new now.

I purchased this clock for my son & his wife for a stocking filler for Christmas.
The clock is apparently very good in all respects.
Highly recommended.

Oregon makes great instruments. This one is very simple to use – my 10 and 13 year old kids are able to use it. They actually wake up in the morning and consult the forecast to decide how to dress for the day. It’s that reliable and accurate. It’s great to be able to look ahead without having to go on the computer. If it had wind chill, it would be absolute perfection!

Although we really like the looks of the clock and it’s functions, it is does not glow in the dark so you can’t read it unless you hit a button and speaking of hitting buttons it tends to be less user friendly and it is a pain to program. I would not recommend this or buy another one!

Works vry nicely and I like the fact that when the alarm goes off the backlight stays lit long enough to see the time and temps.
