DreamSky Digital Alarm Clocks for Bedrooms –

Not too big, not too small… just right
Once we ‘cut the cord’ on our cable TV service and eliminated the DVR in our living room with its digital time display, we found ourselves still glancing into the now empty space under the television for the time display that had been there for decades. This annoyed us enough after a couple days that I started looking for a replacement clock. I wanted something that would fit into the 4″ high shelf space with an easy to read, but not too bright or huge display that would distract from the video screen just above it or visually dominate that part of the room. Something nice and discrete, but not too small or dim.Ideally I wanted a wifi, bluetooth, or atomic time synced clock that would always be dead on accurate, but right away I could see that was not to be- all those types of digital clocks are either way too big wall clocks or way too small nightstand clocks. The size thing was a general problem- I only found one that wasn’t too small or too big and we tried it out, but the display, while the right height to fit the shelf, was very wide- way too big and bright, even at the lowest of its 3 brightness settings. After returning that one I did a bit more searching and found this, which was a much nicer design in general and had the added feature of a continuously variable display brightness. Set at about 10% brightness this one is perfect for our use case, not to big, not too bright, but easily readable day or night and it’s great having the date, time, and room temperature on the display as well for quick reference. Thankfully the design includes battery backup to avoid a complete reset in the event of a power outage (I hate that).The jury is still out on accuracy (I’m spoiled on synced clocks and watches, so I’m a bit of a stickler for this)- after a week I finally set it to dead on correct time and it seems to be floating forward.. it’s only been a couple days but it seems to be maybe a second fast now. I guess I could live with +30 seconds a month, it’s not that big a deal for the living room clock, but I would think it would be a bit more accurate.All in all I’m quite happy with it, especially considering the amount of hunting it took to find it. I was about to give up. It’s sure nice having an easily referenced living room clock again. We never realized how often we both constantly glanced at the old time display every day without thinking until it was gone! I’d highly recommend this to anyone else that’s getting rid of a DVR, cable box, or even an old VCR that features a time display they’ve grown used to impulsively checking.

Stylish and Functional Desk Clock
The DreamSky Wooden Digital Alarm Clock exceeded my expectations. It’s larger than I anticipated, which turned out to be a positive surprise as the large display is easy to read at a glance. I also didn’t initially notice that it shows the temperature on the face—a nice added feature!The light adjustment works perfectly, allowing me to customize the brightness to suit my environment. I keep this clock on my office desk, and it’s been a fantastic addition for keeping track of the time while working. Overall, it’s a stylish and functional clock that I highly recommend.
