Cheap Thomas the Tank Alarm Clock Review

Got this for my 5 year old son. We set it for about 1am to help wake him up so he does not pee the bed. Works great! We also got the flash light so he did not have turn on any bright lights.

This clock could have been complicated to set up, but it was not because the manufacturer had done all the difficult parts. At the back of the clock is a small digital clock powered by a small flat disk battery. The digital clock already had its battery and was preset for both time and date. The date is important because the clock is supposed to automatically reset when we switch between Savings and Daylight times. The digital clock needed only to be told what time zone it is in. Do that before putting two AA batteries into the large clock. When you install the two AA batteries, the hands start circling until the clock gets to the right time. Probably, once the battery in the small digital clock runs down, one will have to replace it and reset the little digital clock on the back. There are instructions in the box for that. This is not an atomic clock. (We never get the satellite that sends that information even if we mount a clock in the window.)

The face has large easy to read numbers and a sweep second hand. One can even see the little lines between the numbers in order to tell the difference, say, between 5:22 and 5:24.

Theoretically it should reset at the switchover from Daylight to Standard time. If it doesn't, I will take off a star.

AFTER SWITCHOVER:

I am of two minds as to whether I should remove one star. It did not update when Standard Time started. On the other hand, it turned out the year in the little digital clock on the back was 2010 instead of 2009. Then, I foolishly forgot to remove the AA batteries before my effort to correct this. So I, myself, messed up which led to the clock resetting itself wrong even though the little digital clock was correct. Fortunately the main clock can be manually set so all is well.
