DreamSky Digital Clock with Date and Day of Week - Large Calendar Clock for Seniors Elderly, Loud Alarm Clock for Bedroom Desk, Backlight Dimmer, Adjustable Volume, USB Port, Auto DST, Battery Backup

I love this clock! It replaces a boxy clock radio from the 80s that was starting to lose functionality. At age 74, I am doing all I can to ward off senility and set up a sustainable lifestyle for my remaining years. I so appreciate that this clock has LARGE letters and numbers, shows me the date and day of the week (OK, showing me what year it is might be overkill) and the room temperature. I can see what time it is from across the house, looking down the hall to my bedroom. I LOVE the auto-dimming feature, which when set will dim the display from 9 PM to 7 AM. At first I forgot to set this, and the clock was VERY bright overnight. Once I set it, it dimmed a lot, but I was still able to see what time it was if I woke up in the middle of the night. It was very easy to set the date and time, but I would offer a tip to those, like me, who use the 12-hour clock. There is no way to set AM or PM, but the workaround is to first select the "24-hour" format, then set your time, then go back and set it to 12 hours. I imagine you will have to do this for the alarms too. I have not needed to set any alarms yet, but I got a chuckle out of the pre-ordained reasons for each alarm, like "Walk the dog" or "Clinic," which light up on the screen when you set that alarm. I think there must be dozens of reasons people set alarms, and the company should probably just call them Alarm 1-5. Since this clock is touted as being for old people, I can imagine some old people need reminders to take medication, go to meals, or drink water several times a day, but this does not need to be hard-wired. Anyway, I am very happy with this clock.

Lovely, this was a big hit as a gift ! I would recommend! Helps to keep track of time, temperature and days and it displays very well too! Nice size to see clearly and lights up . It was a gift for an elderly person who doesn't really use cellphone for all this info ! They loved having a clock with perks!😁

My new microwave has a clock that doesn't light up. So I got this. I love this thing. It has everything I wanted for instant access in the kitchen. Just the right size numerics, data and good colors. I'm relieved every time I glance over there.

The day of the week has a hard to read letter in the middle - the (I) on Friday for instance lookes like the center display is out. Other wise a very nice clock and I like the blue readout on the display.I

Great for Seniors!!

This is very nice and it hung on the wall rather easily. See the attached picture. A big positive is that the brightness can be altered for daylight or for night time sleeping. Everything on it is easy to read from a reasonable distance while laying in bed. When set on a dim light you can press the top of the clock and it will instantly turn bright then dim again in a few seconds.If you have prescription glasses the time digits are large enough that it is possible to read the clock from 6 to 8 ft away.While I am not sending it back I am disappointed in one thing that was of importance to me prior to buying it. There appears to be no way to set an alarm so that it rings only one time. Using another alarm I set that for 2:00 a.m. so that I can then go to the airport. The alarm will go off once and I turn it off. This particular clock has something like six alarms and in order to quit an alarm you have to take it off the wall and then press one of the buttons for one of the six alarms. If you don't pull it off the wall then the alarm is going to repeat itself in this case at 2:00 a.m. until somebody turns it off or changes the time. Having alarm buttons on the back is highly inconvenient if you're waking up at 2:00 a.m. in the morning. Like any cell phone there is no button that makes it clear This is a one-time only alarm.The face of my clock is in blue but you can get it in other colors. I like blue because it's very soft on the eyes, especially when you have a low light setting.After the clock have been on the wall for no more than 36 hours we had a one-hour power outage. Fortunately I had put the three AA batteries in the back of the clock. As soon as the power came back on none of the settings on the clock were lost at all. That is a very nice feature. The clock also has a USB charging point.Why would a company make a clock with six alarms? I am clueless to be able to answer such a question. Is this a Navy thing? It covers six four hour shifts or watches?
