Oregon Scientific Thermometers

Housed in high-tech blue plastic, this alarm clock is far more sophisticated than its cute appearance may lead one to believe. Whether you check on the time by consulting the clock's LCD screen or by looking at a large red-light projection of the time beamed onto a wall or ceiling, you'll know it's accurate. That's because the clock is equipped with a radio receiver tuned to the U.S. Atomic Clock, and keeps time with split-second accuracy by automatically adjusting, if necessary, to the Atomic Clock's signals six times every 24 hours. From those signals, the 5-1/4-by-4-1/2-inch clock (2-1/2 inches thick) not only shows the precise time, but also displays the date and day, with automatic adjustment for daylight-saving time and leap year, according to the North American time zone for which the clock is set. (The day can be shown in English, Spanish, or French.)

The red-light projection makes it possible to check the time without squinting. If the clock is in battery mode (two AA batteries required but not included), pressing the clock's snooze bar will beam the time onto the ceiling for five seconds--and also backlight the LCD screen. If the clock is plugged into a wall socket with an AC adapter (included), the projection and backlighting will be available either for five seconds with the snooze bar or continuously if a continuous-beam control is set. As a backup, you can set the time, day, and date manually as well as automatically. --Fred Brack
Customer Review: Love this clock
This is my second Oregon Scientific projection clock. I love how it resets itself with the time changes, the simplicity of the alarm feature, the small space it takes at the bedside, and the incredibly clear projection on the ceiling. Small enough to carry with me when I travel - YEAH!
Customer Review: not worth it
I was very disappointed when I received this clock after reading all the reviews about it and seeing it was a top seller. I bought a competing clock 2 years ago from Amazon and accidentally dropped it and wanted to replace it with the same clock.at the same price..$20...but the clock is no longer available at Amazon (Emerson Research). It had a much more powerful projector, able to swivel, spin it, had HUGE nite glow numbers, also a radio and auto time set.... This junky little thing from Oregon Research is tiny...cheap construction and tiny buttons. It also has a tiny projection feature with no flexibility in viewing angles, and of course it doesn't have a radio. I can't believe this is a top seller on Amazon. I would buy the Emerson (sold at Target) for the same price hands down. (Oh by the way, the satellite time setting feature of the Oregon unit didn't work either). I have returned the unit. Do yourself a favor...keep looking!

This device will tell you both of them. Am I running late? Do I need a coat? I didn't realize just how quickly my family would come to depend on this the day I mounted it on the wall next to the front door, and ran the probe wire outside. I check it every morning on the way out the door. It also serves another purpose. If your kids are a little lacking in common sense, or don't think it's "cool" to wear a coat, how about "If that thing reads less than 65 degrees, you will wear a coat!". Of course, if you don't want to run the probe wire out through the door or window, and you'd like a clock that sets itself and tells you the date, you may want to take a look at the Oregon Scientific RMR 112 on our other page. This unit also works well as a refrigerator or freezer thermometer. Actual size: 3.25x.75x2.25 This compact, contemporary thermometer is ideal for use at home or the office.
