Great alarm clock
Great little clock. I like the ease of setting it and the large numbers. I got the version with green numbers and the brightness isn't annoying at night. Works for me.

A winner in my book.
Granted, I've only used it for one day. BUT this is as minimalist as you can get. I like the red lights so your night vision isn't destroyed looking at it. I like that it has one alarm and one time and buttons to set both. And that's it. There's even a backup battery (CR2032) for when your power goes out but your alarm doesn't. The alarm is high pitched and annoying, just as it should be but not too loud to wake the neighbors. As it should be. Overall = I think it's a winner. Now - if only it was made in the USA, so that's something to work on.

Modern, stylish and easy to operate. Perfect small travel clock.
This clock is the perfect size if you’re looking for a small clock and don’t need a radio or dual controls. And it still looks sleek and modern. The buttons are allon the top with an easy-to-reach snooze button. The only little issue I had with it is that the brightness control only adjusts one small step down and is still quite bright in a blacked out room. I didn’t really want it to glow in the dark. A gradual adjustment range would be nice. That’s just a personal choice.

Old School Electric Alarm Clock
Just what I wanted - a basic and easy to use old school alarm clock. Small, sleek, easy to read and you can control the brightness of the clock display. Sharp is an affordable and reliable brand - happy with purchase.

Power protection & auto setting are absent, & this also lacks a low battery or battery failure alert
Sure, sure is for sure, but only in one respect, this clock is for sure an absolute piece of junk. No automatic time of day setting function, no automatic calendar or external signal based change between savings and standard times, no time setting preservation during a power interruption, with a battery properly installed, and no low battery power or battery failure/omission alert. As this familiar tale goes, You pay what you don't get for. Seemingly nonsense instructions state that once the clock is plugged in it will fast forward rapidly to the correct time. No such thing occurred. The PM indicator is not lit so it appears to have initiated at 12:00 am with no fast forwarding, just counting forward from there, as any non "AccuSet™" clock would. I don't have a paper clip, possibly the stripped metal end from a sandwich bag tie, to test if resetting might force a time scan. It does not. just sends the clock back to 12:00 (AM). In the basement, near the wi-fi, but Sharp never specifies how a time update is captured, so it seems correct to assume that it is the National Institute of Standards and Technology radio broadcast, something that never worked for my Casio watch here in New England, but I unplugged the unit, took it upstairs, set it at about shoulder height and plugged it in. The display briefly lit all numeral creating LEDs "18:88" (and the PM and Alarm on indicator LEDs also light up for that brief moment) then went back to 12:00 (am). This all LEDs light at power up, is the only auto or diagnostic function of any type that this clock performs, and only if the operator uses that moment to visually verify that all the LEDs are working. 12:00, this in itself is very disconcerting. I just simulated a power failure by unplugging the clock and then plugging it back in, several minutes had elapsed since I had let it set itself to 12:00 (am) in the basement, and yet when I plugged it in on the first floor, it also set itself back to 12:00. I used the bag tie again to activate the reset feature again, let the clock run for 2 minutes, displaying 12:02, unplugged it and took it back into the basement. When I plugged it back in, the display briefly went to 18:88, and then back to 12:00 (am). The battery is not providing time setting saving protection. It's all nonsense. Unplugged clock and removed battery compartment cover. There is a battery. I don't know if the clock has a display alert for a spent battery. I will remove the battery and test for a response. With the battery removed, plugging in the clock exhibits unchanged behavior. The display briefly shows 18:88, and then it goes back to 12:00 (am). It's an expletive dud, an expensive brick. This clock performs no added function with a battery and provides no alert if the battery fails or is omitted. Unplugged, returned battery and sealed the compartment. Plugged it back in. The DS(tandard or avings)T on/off switch can't have any relevance. It was set to on when I received this, and I left that alone, since I wanted the clock to manage this for me, but when it isn't even trying to receive outside intelligence to guide that action, it will obviously never know when daylight savings time is in effect. Operated that switch while the power was connected. It set the time back by one hour when switched to off, then returned one hour forward when set to on. If I set it to off, unplug the unit and then plug it back in, I'm predicting that the clock will reset itself to 12:00 (am - standard). Unplugged it. Switched DST off. Plugged it in. My presumption was correct. It displays 12:00 am now, not 11:00 (pm), and when I toggle the DST switch to on the time advance by 1 hour (1am), and returns by 1 hour when I shut it off. While this could have useful manual application in a clock that is marketed as non-automatic, it only adds to the uncertainty of a clock that is claimed to be intelligent but so far shows zero sign of being so. What happens if suddenly one day the clock receives a signal or if some supposed, but so far absent intelligence, attempts to kick in? The clock is obviously manufactured for sale in most of the Americas, with only Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific switch settings. While these are labeled: EST, CST, MST, and PST, that labeling is part of a society's lock on ignorance, just as the DST switch is. You can't know if your time is standard or daylight or predict that from a label on a switch and you can't accurately speak of or write of the specific nature of time if you lack daylight savings time, not just daylight standard time as part of your vocabulary, yet even during daylight SAVINGS time, everyone, all across the country, when they want to clarify that they are, or might be in a different time zone, state that they are on x (zone) standard time. They say this all through the summer, during which they are actually on x savings time. What idiot made it so that both terms used the same first initial, "S?" And why are we then such idiots that we can't remember that that S carries two very opposed meanings? We are as stupid with our connection to time as we would be if we were to cal Saturday and Sunday "S" day, and Tuesday and Thursday "T" day, and to forget that they were two different days and just, by whatever was popular regionally, call them both Tuesday: "Well which Tuesday do you mean," the more informed would always need to ask, "the Tuesday after Monday or the Tuesday after Wednesday?"Selecting DST to stand for Daylight Standard, or Daylight Savings Time, or for both, is just plain idiotic, stupidifying refuse. You need to use DStT or DSaT, and EStT or ESaT, just like you can't drop the U or the H from TU and TH. That would make America so much smarter, or to be smarter still, change "daylight" to "non-standard" and use "N" (DNT), or change "standard" to "normal" and that can be the DNT. Operating the E, C, M, P time zones switch does modify the time display by one added or subtracted hour per position, but without added intelligence, or backup, this is a superfluous "feature."

Auto Set not working
I bought 2 of these, essentially for the autoset feature. For the life of me, I can't get that to work for either clock. And, unless they sent me dead batteries, the clocks go back to 12:00 am every time the power blinks. I live in Florida and especially in the summer, that happens a lot. Any ideas?UPDATE: I just bought some new batteries and installed them. Fingers crossed that works. I will update again the next time the power blinks off and back on.

The Best Little Desk/Nightstand clock I've Ever Owned!
This is the best little desk/nightstand electric clock I have ever owned--and I've owned over a dozen different desk/nightstand clocks! Two of the many things that I like about this particular clock is its sleek, classic design and its wonderful functions. It does not take up much space at all, but it makes its presence known in a great way. It does not have too many "bells and whistles" (e.g., a radio, temperature indicator, etc.) that I do not need or would not use anyway. It has clean, simple easy-to-operate settings for the alarm and the time setting. By the way, it sets itself, which was a pleasant surprise. The lighted time display can be dimmed, and this lighted clock makes for a nice, non-glaring night-light. What I find most surprising is the price for such a perfect/near perfect clock: It is under 15.00! How can I not be happy with this product?!
