That said, some say that it jumped to setting Alarm 2 and didn't automatically change times when they went on Daylight Savings Time.

Customers are dissatisfied with the lighting of the clock. They mention that the screen is great, but the light is not so much. They also say that the light doesn't illuminate evenly, and you get a wedge of light. They say the light color is rather dim, and the backlight is not very strong. Some customers also mention that there is a fault with the figures and numbers, saying that they could be a little brighter.

"...The only small gripe I have is the light for use in the dark. You have to push a big button on the top of the clock to turn on the light...." Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Has everything I like in an alarm clock
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2013

I look for the following features to be in the optimal alarm clock for me: Battery powered, automatic date/time set, temperature reading, adjustable snooze. I like the latter because I'm one of those who likes to take my time waking up and snooze for an extra 20 minutes or so.

There aren't too many clocks available with all these features, and I previously had a Sky Scan model which did and I liked, despite its somewhat kludgy interface (they stopped making that model). But this Datex model does it all, and does it well. It is powered by two AA batteries. I just got it so I can't comment on battery duration, but with an LED display they should last a while. It has two separate alarms. The snooze button for each alarm is adjustable from 1-59 minutes (yay!). The button labels and screen labels are easy to see, and the interface is pretty good. You can *almost* figure out all its operations and mode settings from just intuitively playing with it, and the directions are simple and easy. The chirp is loud enough but not overbearing, and ascends from one beat, to two beats, to three and then a constant four, which is nice. It has a temperature reading which seemed accurate, and is automatically date/time updated by the radio signal from Colorado. I'm not sure how it handles the switch from daylight savings, but maybe it is pre-programmed to adjust. If there is a problem with that I'll report later. The display is easy to see, and when you press the snooze button on top it backlights the display for night time viewing.

Recommended, particularly if you are looking for these features in an alarm clock.

Update 7-16-15: After a couple years of use, the Datexx continues to perform well. The 2 AA batteries last about 6-8 months before needing replacement -- the LCD characters start getting dim so you know when the batteries are getting low without the clock just shutting off on you in the middle of the night. It automatically changed to DST and back without input in my area (Miami, EST). Great clock.

I already love this clock. It is exactly as it was described. The set up was easy (although you need the instructions as it isn't completely straight forward, but could be figured out with quite a bit of playing). The display is clear and easy to read. I really like all the information right on the little screen. It is perfect for my use. I only need it as a time telling device. It wasn't purchased nor will it be used as an alarm. So, I can honestly say that I don't have any feedback on that feature. I LOVE how it sets the time and date on its own and keeps itself updated. It is one of those clocks that you can set and walk away from for hopefully years (I just haven't had it that long to tell you if that is 100% true). The only small gripe I have is the light for use in the dark. You have to push a big button on the top of the clock to turn on the light. However, I have a hard time seeing it with ease. It takes a bit of focus. I don't really use mine in the dark, but if this were sitting on my night stand, I would want to reach over and see the time with more ease. As I don't need this feature, it remains a 5 star clock for me. I just wanted to mention it in case you would be using it in the dark.

my first impression was that it is very cheaply made. it's very lightweight almost flimsy, which is not necessarily a bad thing, I'm just not a fan. it takes 2 AA batteries and was real simple to follow the instructions for set up. Within 5 minutes of setting the clock, we were up and running.

The other thing I don't like, is the light that barely comes on to illuminate the screen, when the snooze bar is pressed. it shines green up from the bottom center below the alarm time. almost like it fell down (i will look into it, it may have broken off) but as a result, the whole screen is unevenly visible in the dark, like a flashlight effect.

What I do like it that the dual alarm works very well. it is a simple beep, beep, beep, etc., but the longer it is on, the faster and louder it gets, until you shut it off or snooze it. I do enjoy being able to set the amount of minutes for snooze, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7...minutes. However, I do wish they had separate sounding alarms so they can be more recognizable. i got it for the purpose of waking up my boys, who sometimes need to awaken earlier than the other. if each had their own different sound, there would be less ignoring of the alarm. One would know, "yup, this one is now for me.."

Great size and great display options. Like that you can pre program two different alarm times. BUT, two BIG problems with it: The alarm sound is SO soft, I can not hear it most times and therefore, fail to wake up! Yikes. Second, when you hit the light to display the time at night, it is so faint, you can't see it. I end up having to turn on my bedside light to check the time.

I got this clock to replace a long loved Brookstone that is no longer made. This one does not do it and sad thing: Packaging gone so I can't return it. Don't make the same mistake....

4.0 out of 5 stars Reliable Alarm Clock
Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2014

In the current modern world of $100 alarm clocks with Wifi, Bluetooth, projection and bright LEDs, this clock earns 5 stars for it's simplicity. The clock can be automatically set via radio signal. Excellent snooze button you can smack when your too tired to wake up. Two alarm clock settings. I'll dock one star because the buttons sometimes don't register if you lazily push them. But that is a very small annoyance. The alarm isn't the buzzard GE wail many woke up to in the past, but a simple beep beep beep. Yes, you can adjust the snooze length too.

A well designed alarm clock which has a large display, small footprint, dual alarms, programmable snooze time, thermometer which reads either C or F, calendar with month, day, year and day of the week plus the phases of the moon. It even has a backlight when you press the top button. Because it only lights up in the dark when the top button is pressed, the two AA batteries last for a very long time. And best of all, it sets the time automatically, accurate to the second.
