Geevon Atomic Travel Alarm Clock

Great little clock. I use it with the “dim screen” mode on so it is illuminated at night and I have not had to change the batteries after 6 months. It is very easy to set and I like the easy on and off for each individual alarms. It has a nice alarm that beeps progressively longer (not louder) as the alarm goes off and also has a snooze mode. The atomic clock function works “ok” but one time it grabbed a different time zone and set itself to an incorrect time that was 2 hours off. Since then I have just left it set to manually adjust the time. It travels well, but is slightly thicker than I expected. I wish there was a protective cover for the front. This is a good clock overall and a good value for the money. It is easy to read as well.

I really like this clock. Due to the location of where I need the clock, I don't expect it to be receiving any radio signals. It is keeping accurate time. It is a good size for where I need to keep it. It has a nice display and all of the features I need, unusual to find in a small clock: month, day, date, temperature. The fact that it takes 2 AA batteries means it is fully powered as contrasted with clocks that take only AAA batteries. As far as setting, there are not 1 but 2 enclosed brochures with clear step-by-step instructions, making setup fast and easy for me. I also like the push button on the top so I can refer to the time in the dark. UPDATE 1 April 24, 2024 Although I keep this clock in a location where I'd not have expected radio signals to reach it, I did leave the radio control on in the settings. For a few weeks it kept perfect time, and the display showed the clock was picking up the radio signal. The clock also switched itself to Daylight Savings Time without my help. So far, so good. A few days ago, however, I noticed the clock time was hours off and the day and date were incorrect. Went into Settings and it appeared that the time zone I'd set had changed on its own. The batteries were new but replaced them and reset everything from scratch. Next day again the day, date, and time were all off. Went into Settings and disabled the radio control. So far, the clock is again keeping the correct time but now there is no radio control. Not sure what happened to cause the issue, after the clock had worked perfectly for the first few weeks.

The user interface is difficult to use. After working correctly for a few days, it stops getting the time signal and instead shows an absurd date and time. EDIT: Placing the clock in a different location fixed the problem - it consistently gets the time signal! Somehow, the user interface now seems better as well.

Initiallly, we liked the alarm clock - the setup was easy, it kept time and we liked the nighttime backlighting; however, it has become undependable. It routinely changes from our preset Central time zone to the Pacific time zone in the middle of the night. I've replaced batteries and repeateded the startup procedure several times but the problem persists. Very disappointing.

This is an amazing little travel alarm clock - and a great back up alarm for home too. I love, love, love that the time can be set automatically and accurately (atomic time set - not easy to find, but worth every penny!) and it's got a reasonably small footprint for bedside tables. Big numbers are great for readability, and I find the brightness good for nighttime. If you're looking for a room clock, this isn't it. Go get a nice, big wall clock for that. But for it's purpose (travel or back up clock) it's perfect. The sound isn't super loud, but it's definitely audible enough and annoying enough that you won't fall back asleep - which is the point. I highly recommend it.

I have mixed feelings about this clock. On the one hand, when it is able to get a signal the Atomic part of it works great. However, even in open areas with little to no trees around to interrupt it, the two that I have had are constantly resetting back to 12am or will show the incorrect time. The auto light is nice on it, and again when it can hold the signal it works great but I have had 2 of them now and both after about 3 to 4 months stop receiving the signal and have to be manually set, which defeats the purpose of getting an Atomic Clock.

I bought this clock in October, 2023 for my bathroom, where it sits on a floating shelf by itself. It is just the right size for the space and the numerals are bright enough and large enough to read at a good distance. The clock was fairly easy to set up. Once you locate your time zone, everything loads. The clock worked well for most of the first year. Near the end of the year, I noticed one day that the time it was showing was 6 hours later than it actually was. Google told me how to fix the problem. That lasted a few months, until it happened again. Thanks to this clock's wonky ways, I now know that 9/18/2043 is a Wednesday!! I am tired of adjusting the settings to the correct time zone. I am done! Two stars is probably really generous.

Seems like a decent clock and does pick up the atomic clock signal albeit sporadocally. The downside is it does not have eight time zones as advertised but the only settable zones are UTC -8, -7, -6, -5, making the clock utterly useless outside North America. It is possible to set the time manually but then why not buy a Braun clock for half the price.

The backlight feature was the deal maker for me. To be able to glance at the time when I wake up in the middle of the night. Getting old now and end up needing to go washroom...every night. Checking time with my cellphone is dangerous because I end up checking emails,checking the status of my Amazon orders, etc. Honestly, there must be something wrong with me.HaHa! But being retired,not having a good night sleep which can affect work,doesn't apply to me. This clock also uses AA batteries which I prefer over AAA or 9volt. I paid 10 dollars more to get the atomic clock syncing because where I live I get reliable nightly reception with my old Casio gshock. For travel,I don't feel it's that big of a deal. I am going to Hawaii in 2 weeks and I know it's out of range and I am not wasting my time to see if I can. I know Hawaii is 3 time zones away and I know I am going to wake up 3 hours early. So I want to set this clock to Hawaii time, in the hotel room to remind me I should stay in bed 3 hours more. My watch is an Omega automatic and I don't want to bother setting to 3 hours back for a 1 week trip. Just going to rely on my Samsung cell to tell local time. So I'll give it 5 stars because I can't find any faults yet. I didn't pick up a signal last night..I just got it yesterday and I am not 100% sure I turned on the syncing feature properly or I might have not oriented the clock just so. Trust me... it can be finicky. Vancouver is on the outer edge of coverage and you have to find that sweet spot to get the ionosphere bounce much like how the old ham radio work. Electrical devices nearby can screw up reception.Weather too, so what worked yesterday,might not work tonight. It's not as reliable as getting your home wifi signal or getting a cell phone signal. So you see, if you don't get the 30 dollar one like me,you won't have to fret about not getting your clock to sync. Generally the better quartz modules stipulate 15 seconds per month to be plus or minus. So thats .5 seconds per day anyways. I think the average person could careless about. Hell, even my local radio station is off by about 10 seconds with their hourly time tone. So having the exact time only gives me bragging rights to claim some ownership of something that's almost perfect when in reality,nothing runs on time in my world. People don't get to work ontime,airline flights aren't ontime,stores don't open ontime, buses don't run ontime,doctor appointments aren't ontime,Amazon deliveries not ontime. Jim from Vancouver.

Muy buen reloj, lo he usado ya por varios meses y funciona muy bien. No se ha sincronizado automáticamente con el horario pero supongo que no es problema del reloj. La retroiluminación nocturna es muy buena y no molesta demasiado para dormir.

OK

Funciona muy bien. Es robusto, fácil de usar. La luz tenue de noche es excelente.
