Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Elgin Electric Alarm Clock with Selectable Display Color
Customer Review: Tiny, difficult to read and falls off night stand
Summary: 1 Stars
I didn't realize how small this clock is when I ordered it. I actually have great vision but if it is placed anywhere but right next to my bed it is difficult to see the numbers. Not because the numbers are too small, but because the hard plastic casing it's in distorts the numbers. The numbers are decent sized but the whole clock is so small they had to curve the plastic and the shell of the clock so the numbers get fuzzy looking.
It also is too light weight. It it feather light and so gets knocked around just touching the cord.
The good featue about it is that you can change the color of the background and the numbers. But even given that nice feature, I'm going to have to buy another one because I don't want to be limited to keeping a digital clock on my night stand and strain to figure out the time.
Customer Review: Fun little clock

This thing is small!! But it has a lot of features - I mean, besides the usual alarm clock settings, it's got a calendar which displays the day as well. Also has a clear plastic lid which covers the buttons you use to set the time & alarm & date, which might be a pain if you want to keep the cover on and also hit the snooze button a few times before getting out of bed as the snooze button is under the lid, too, and if the cover's down when the alarm goes off, you got to lift it to hit the snooze button. But I like the different colors that can be displayed and each color has a different brightness so you can choose how bright you want the light to be - brightest setting is still not overpowering. The numbers aren't that big, so if you wear glasses and like big numbers, this might not be the clock for you....Customer Review: Good alarm
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this alarm a while ago and I think it's great. it's small enough to fit in your hand, and has seven different color options for the main screen: red, blue, green, yellow(kind of a darker golden yellow with light yellow numbers), purple, teal, and black with white numbers. this alarm has one volume and my only complaint is that after about two minutes of beeping, it automatically goes into snooze and will go off again in five minutes. This does have the option of using a battery( one AAA)so if the power goes out, or it's unplugged, it won't have to be reset. I keep this alarm close to my bed but I don't like light shining in my face while I'm trying to sleep so I like that the alarm has the option of turning its light from the main screen off. Overall a very decent alarm. I recommend it.Customer Review: NICE CLOCK, TOO SMALL
Summary: 4 Stars
I BOUGHT THIS CLOCK FOR MY MOM, FOR THE MONTH DAY DATE FETCHER AND THE BLUE COLOR. THAT SHE CAN SEE BETTER THEN ANY OTHER. THE SIZE STATED OF 5 X 5X 4 WOULD HAVE MADE IT PERFECT FOR HER. BUT THE SIZE WAS NOT TO BE, IT IS 3.61 IN. WIDE 3.42 IN. DEEP AND 2.08 IN.TALL. THE .6 INCH DIGET WAS CORRECT. AND FOR THE SIZE OF THE DAY YOU NEED TO BE RIGHT IN FROUNT OF IT TO EVEN KNOW IT IS ON THE DISPLAY. THE CLOCK IS VERRY EASY TO OPPERATE THE DIRECTION PAGE DID NOT EVEN NEED TO BE THERE. I HAD IT SET UP IN 1 MIN. THE SEEING AND MEMORY IMPAIRED SENIORS NEED THE FEACHERS OF THIS CLOCK, AT THE SIZE AND PRICE STATED.
SOMEONE SHURE CAN'T READ A RULER. IF IT WAS A LITTLE BIGGER IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR EVERYONE. TIMEX /ELGIN SHURE DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS ONE.
Customer Review: Fine and Dandy
Summary: 5 Stars
The clock is smaller than Amazon says, true. It fits in the open palm, yes. Another reviewer measured and listed measurement. I think it's a nice size for a night table. Unobtrusive. The clock plugs in and has battery backup. The display is clear and not too bright. I almost didn't buy it because one reviewer said it was too bright. I didn't find that to be the case for me.
The good thing is you can change the display to suit your brightness or color needs. Some displays, depending on the contrasting colors you select, might appear brighter. I'd never seen that in a clock before.
I found this to be a discreet, functional little clock.
