Oregon Scientific BAR386A-BK Wireless Weather Forecaster with Temperature Display and Self-Setting Atomic Clock, Black

Cheap Oregon Scientific BAR386A-BK Wireless Weather Forecaster with Temperature Display and Self-Setting Atomic Clock, Black Review

This was easy to set-up. I placed it next to two other inside thermometers, and the Oregon Scientific reads within .4 degrees of the two others. I placed the outdoor sensor under the northeastern eave and, at near-freezing, it reads 1.4 degrees warmer than the nearby Weather Underground sensor (wunderground.com). My only complaint is that there is no backlight feature -- but that would probably drain batteries too quickly.

Cheap Oregon Scientific Weather Forecaster with Temperature Display and Self-Setting Atomic Clock Review

Bought on impulse to maybe give as a gift but decided to keep it when I saw how cute it was. The size is just right (one that I already have is bigger) but the display is still large and clear enough without taking up much space. All the details are displayed so you can get a quick read of time (atomic so no need to adjust), day, date, weather trend, in and out temps and barometric pressure (rising or dropping) and moon phase. And the price was right too (bought on sale)

NAXA NX-162 Digital LED Projection Display Alarm Clock Radio

Cheap NAXA NX-162 Digital LED Projection Display Alarm Clock Radio Review

I was shopping for a projection clock for a while, reading reviews, etc. But then I got this one, which had no reviews. Why? - It was twice cheaper, and I assumed it couldn't be twice worse.
So far I haven't been mistaken. For you get 2 clocks and an alarm radio. Not bad.
Notes:
1. Like many other projection clocks out there, the projection clock is independent from the one on the unit display, so you need to set both. It seems ridiculous, but could be a feature, if for some reason you need two different times set.
2. The projection clock is more flexible in settings. You can have 12 or 24-hour style of time display and have it alternate between time and date, if you'd like. Personally, I find alternation flashing annoying, and I don't really need to be reminded of the date every 3 seconds or so. The main unit clock only shows time and only 12 am/pm style.
3. The projection image is a little weak, but good for full darkness. You can't see it, if you have a night lamp on. But then there's the main unit screen. On the plus side, the image is not disturbingly bright at night.
4. Maybe it's my locality, but AM reception is way more clear than FM. I could not get any reasonable reception from FM at all.
5. There's a battery back up, and the projector image stays on constantly (or could be switched off entirely).
6. The setting of the time(s) is not very intuitive. I had to look at the instructions.
I haven't tried alarm.
In summary, this is a great deal for the money.
