 Good clock but deceptively named July 24, 2008
This is a very decent little clock, but by calling it an "Automatic Time Set" clock, I thought I was buying a radio-controlled clock that sets itself based on radio signals like other so-called atomic clocks I've owned in the past. That is not the case - this clock simply has the correct time preset at the factory. Contrary to what other reviewers have said, it will not sync to the correct time automatically once the installed backup battery fails. And I haven't had it long enough to determine how well it keeps time or if I'm going to have to readjust the time every so often just to make sure it's accurate. Still, I'll keep it but I feel duped by the name of the clock and kind of regret having bought it.
 The clock work really well July 8, 2008
I am really happy with the alarm clock. If the am fm radio had great reception this clock would be a steal. As it is a really good buy for an alarm clock.
Lifesaver! July 6, 2008
This is such a lifesaver! Our power blips often and since my boyfriend is a chef he often has to get up really early after coming home really late. If the alarm doesnt go off he is in a big bind. This clock doesnt stay on while the power is off, but it does reset both the time and alarm setting after a power blip. it hasn't failed us once!
Sony's cheapest clock radio July 2, 2008
When you buy a clock-radio for less than $15, you should not have high expectations. I bought mine to fill a small space on my night stand. We are getting to the place where our only non-automatic-time clocks are found in major appliances. I wish our GE microwave oven were automatic! This Sony fills the space available very well. Pluses are it's good looks, large led readout, and good FM radio reception. If I wanted AM radio I'd be forced to return it. There are no AM stations strong enough or close enough to make it but I could care less!
Good deal and a good clock radio. Happy with purchase. June 19, 2008
Great price for this clock radio. Works good, clock is easy to see, sound is pretty good. Battery back up so it keeps the time in a black out.
