About this item
- Color Atomic Alarm Clock - Accurate to the Second! The Atomic Clock has a built in receiver that automatically synchronizes itself with the WWVB radio broadcast by the US Government’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Fort Collins, Colorado. The Atomic Clock will always be accurate to within on second as it receives daily WWVB updates.
- Color Calendar and Day of Week Display - Always know what day of the week it is with a quick glance. The clock displays the calendar and the day of the week. Using the Snooze/Dimmer switch on top of the display, you can easily adjust the display brightness to your liking.
- EASY TO SET DUAL ALARM - Set alarm for two people, or set one alarm for weekdays and the other for weekend!. Snooze/Dimmer Switch is simple to use and on top of the display.
- BATTERY BACK-UP - There is a "No Worry" battery back-up option (requires 2 x AAA battery, sold separately), that will allow the alarm to go off, even if the power goes out. The battery back-up stores the time and alarm settings if the power is interrupted. During battery back-up the clock’s display will not be lit. Once power is restored, the display will re-light.
- ALWAYS ON DISPLAY – Display is always illuminated. You can use the Snooze/Dimmer switch on top of the display, to easily adjust the display brightness to your liking.

• Bought it for my brother whose personal situation requires him to keep track of the DAY OF THE WEEK as well as time of day which he was simply unable to do. Problem solved!
• The clock sits ~ 12 feet in from a window in his apartment on the 2nd floor of a big, old, hulking 5-story concrete/brick apartment block. To my pleasant surprise, the radio time code sync succeeds quite reliably but, as far as I can tell, only when the window is at least partially open e.g. ~ 2-ft X 2½-ft screened opening at ~ 2 A.M.
• Graphics & brightness control are via LCD. Luminance & chrominance are via white, green & blue LED backlighting arrays.
• LED backlighting goes off during the radio receive interval (once every 24 hours) or when only powered by battery but you can still read the LCD, up close, via e.g. ambient lighting or flashlight.
I liked the features and the size and look of clock enough to try again with a new one, so I bought a 2nd one. (I thought the defects of 1st one was an anomaly, but I was mistaken).
The new one was worse. Out of the box, it looked used. It had dings and scratches on the plastic the way a plastic item gets if it has been dropped or smacked around. I didn’t like it, but I could have lived with dings if the clock worked right. But it not only had the same defect with the brightness and dimmer button as the first purchase did, but the time setting functions locked up while setting it and wouldn’t release. I couldn’t even complete the clock set up. Truly unacceptable, especially from the Sharp brand.
Don’t waste your money on this one. Function and size of clock would be great, if they actually worked, but they do not.
I bought another brand (Baldr) to replace 2nd clock and it seems to be working without issue, so far.
I compared this clock to two other digital Atomic Clocks I have. Both do NOT have this problem, whether your eye level is above or below the clock. Both are currently wall-mounted above eye level, readability is excellent. I then placed both my Atomic Clocks on a table far below eye level and readability was also excellent. I suspect the problem with this SHARP clock is that the digits are lighted and can only be read from above. The engineers at SHARP can create an electronic switch (settable by the consumer) that will allow the clock's display to be read from above or below by changing the angle of the LCD's crystals.
I intended on placing this clock on a top shelf of a bookcase in my living room. That is not possible. Now, I must put it on a shelf that is only 32" high off the floor level so it can be easily read while standing or sitting on the couch. I will not return the clock because it is a nice clock when used as it is designed, but sadly, the design flaw is so critical, it only gets 3-stars.
Correction, discovered that when the clock is updating the display will go blank however after the clock is updated the display will come back on. Now the only problem is the quiet alarm.
Top reviews from other countries
You need to plug this into a 110Volt American wall outlet. Without 'pluging in', its at 10% brightness or unreadable.
In Australia we have 240Volt mains. So to use it I would have to buy a $50USD Transformer. (More than the clock itself). We also have different time zones. I'm at GMT +10hours. (Clock comes with 5 American time zones only) With the available Fiji Setting the clock reads 1 hour ahead permanently.
Likes: The product itself looks really good - very bright multi-colored text on black display. Reasonable materials used and probably has always accurate time keeping.
SHARP needs to make an International version of this clock.....
I've returned this clock (yesterday) back to the USA at $15USD Postage.
