Youshiko Digital Radio Controlled (Official UK & Ireland Version) Alarm Clock with 4 Alarm Times & Automatic backlight with light sensor

This is one of the best digital clocks I’ve ever bought and certainly the most accurate thanks to the synchronisation feature. It couldn’t find the radio signal initially, but when I moved it to it’s ‘home’ in the office near a window it was fine and has stayed locked since. Excellent clear display and backlight plus easy to set up. It’s really nice to see the date in European format (dd/mm) rather than the USA format (mm/dd) typically found on other (usually cheaper) digital clocks! Apart from the superb accuracy of the clock the temp. display seems to have greater resolution too compared to cheaper clocks, 0.1 degrees as opposed to 0.5 degrees.I don’t actually need 4 alarms and it would be great if some alternatives were on offer e.g. the date in words, a humidity readout. As it is the alarm stuff takes up half the screen real estate, so if this was reduced to 2 alarms space would be made available for other useful or expanded info.For what you get the clock’s not at all expensive, in fact I would have happily paid more. It feels well made and in a world of cheap underperforming products I’m very pleased I found this. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!P.S. I was fed up buying digital clocks that don’t keep time! The only ones that have been reasonably accurate are an early Smiths quartz wall clock (with analogue hands), our elderly gas cooker’s clock and the clock in our VW car (also elderly). Until now… Beware of cheap digital clocks - just being a “quartz digital” device is no guarantee of accurate timekeeping!

4 alarms which is handy if like me me you have to do some stuff at stupid hours before going back to bed. Clear time display. Alarms are bit small for my old eyes. The alarm starts gently and gradually gets less ignorable. Back light is very bright. Battery life seems to be good and it has no problem picking up the time signal.

This clock is easy to set up, easy to use and despite some other reviews it is easy to see. Okay so the backlight is maybe too bright and you do have to be pretty much directly in front of the clock to see it when using the light but honestly, any small amount of other light source will be enough to read it and from quite a narrow angle.I love that you can have four different alarm times. I have to get up at three different times during the week and was always resetting my old alarm but worse still was turning the lights off, laying down and then doubting that I had changed the alarm time so having to get up, turn the light on and check.My only gripe is that the clock doesn't always pick up the radio signal which, for some reason only happens at 2 am every morning. I have another Youshiko clock and that one synchs every hour on the hour without fail so I don't know why this one won't. When it does fail to synch it then loses a few seconds every day, which, for a digital clock feels like quite a lot.The alarm makes me smile when it sounds, I call it the wife effect as it starts off quite gentle and understanding but if you don't react to it quickly it gets very loud and angry (sorry ladies)Overall though I am happy with this clock and would be happy to recommend it, the only reason it only got 4 stars was because of the spasmodic synching.

This is an excellent clock it is controlled by the radio time signal which is huge advantage as most of our clocks are now synchronised. I particularly like the the auto backlight function. Probably too many alarm setting for most people.

Great little clock, easy to set up

Great alarm, but for one huuuge issue.You can not see the screen unless you look from a very very high angle, almost from above, the ambient light or light on top does not help.This is NOT a battery issue as I've tried brand new Duracells, the quality of the screen is simply appalling, I put up with it for a while because of the 4 alarms and the operation of it is exactly what I needed, but I kind of need to see the damn time too and the other info.The picture shows what a proper LCD should look like, a temp gauge from ThermPro.Returning.

Only just started using it but so far so good. The radio signal set the time fairly quickly to BST. There are 4 alarms each with its own button. All easy to set, to either 12 or 24 hr time. The back light can be switched to auto or off. It works well in the dark. The alarm starts quiet but gets louder as it goes on. The button on the top for the nightlight is quite sensitive, no need to hit it, just a small touch. Overall I'm very happy as I needed a clock with two alarm settings. This one does that and more.

This is the second time that I have bought this wee clock, as this one was a gift for a friend, it is radio controlled and link to the UK big clock, it has 4 alarm settings which I like as I do not want to change the alarm regularly, so I can have different settings for when I need to get up, and not have to reset it each time, it is smallish but that suits me well. Reliable and a great wee clock. Excellent buy.
