Sony ICF-C318 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio with Dual Alarm (White) Reviews
It is the only alarm clock I found where I can adjust the brightness three ways giving me the perfect amount especially at night. I am so happy that I purchased this alarm clock. This is also the first alarm clock I've had where as soon as you plug in the alarm clock it gives the exact time without me having to set the time. It is the perfect size for my nightstand and it has an attractive shape. I just love all the features of this alarm clock.
if it had digital tuning i'd have given 5 stars. in these modern times digital tuners should actually cost less than the old style. i'm surprised how many radio alarm clocks still use analog tuners like this one. unique time and alarm setting knob simplifies doing that. relatively easy to operate, not too bright at night, acceptable tuning, somewhat tinny sounding but plenty clear, and anyway, most tiny speakers are like that.
Easy to use, easy to see, dual alarm, maintains time during a power failure. Nice price.
I bought this product assuming that "Automatic Time Set" would mean that this clock could receive the atomic clock signals and automatically set itself like so many other clocks on the market these days. Besides that, there ain't much to say about this besides that it works. I'm glad it was only $15.
However, as the battery in mine was dead, this message will forever make me remember how dumb I felt when I found out that this clock wasn't what at all what I thought I bought. More still, Sony even saw it fit to print "Automatic Time Set" right on the front of the radio, so every morning when you glance at the time, you can be forever reminded how awesome it was that Sony set the time at the factory for you.
Wrong. According to Sony, "Automatic Time Set" actually means that the clock time was set at the factory and if you are lucky enough that the backup battery doesn't go dead in shipping (as mine did), you may open your ICF-C318 and have an alarm clock *hopefully* set to the correct time. No frills and it's fine as a very basic clock radio.
A basic dual alarm clock radio with below average sound quality. It has large clear numerals and is easy to set the controls. I don't think you will find anything better for the price. That said, for a price under $15.00 it's still a great buy.
