Amazon.com Review
This versatile system forecasts local weather; automatically sets and updates the time, day, and date; keeps track of the indoor temperature; and employs a remote, wireless sensor to record the outdoor temperature up to 100 feet away.

For forecasting weather within 12 to 24 hours, the 6-1/4-by-4-1/4-inch monitor employs a built-in electronic barometric-pressure sensor and then displays the upcoming weather with an icon (sunny, partly sunny, cloudy, rain/snow) on its backlit LCD screen.

For keeping track of time, the monitor is equipped with a radio receiver tuned to the U.S. atomic clock; this enables the monitor to maintain split-second accuracy by automatically adjusting, if necessary, to the atomic clock's signals six times every 24 hours.

From those signals, the monitor also displays the date, the day, and the time zone for which the user has set the clock. Also, the clock automatically adjusts for daylight saving time and for leap year.

The monitor beams the time and the outdoor temperature onto a wall or ceiling in large, red numerals for easy readability. If the monitor is in battery-mode (four AA batteries included), pressing the clock's snooze bar will beam the data for five seconds.

If the monitor is plugged into a wall socket with an AC adapter (included), the projection will be available either for five seconds with the snooze bar or continuously if a continuous-beam control is set. The projection beam comes from a device mounted next to the clock.

The device pivots so the beam can be projected onto any surface, and a dial focuses the beam for clarity. You can also choose to have the temperature displayed in either Celsius or Fahrenheit. --Fred Brack

GREAT FOR ME
Well I use my cell phone for my alarm clock but my eye sight has been bad now that I'm in my fortys, that I struggled to see the time, so that kept me from falling back to sleep. But with the projecter I can see the time perfectly that I can fall back to sleep.

It also projects outside temp but not the inside, the weather seems to be somewhat accurate and the backlight only stays on for a five seconds. I hope it lasts me a long time because I like that it is compact that I can take it anywhere.

Great projection, but temp doesn't always work
We really love the projection clock, but it seems when the temperature gets down to 40 or below the signal doesn't work, so you will see --- instead of the temp. However, I would still buy this clock.

exactly as advertized
It works as it is supposed to - very easy to use and very useful. I wish all products were like this.
