Oregon Scientific BARM699A

Pros: Nice solid casing, doesn not feel cheap. Good quality. 

Cons: Radio reception is barely ok, no back-up battery. (Didn't purchase for the radio)

The Bottom Line: Would recommend. Would be a nice gift.

Review: I've read many reviews. I disagree with many negativities.  First, many have complained about the alarm clock and the back light not being on all the time (except for one that says it stays on all the time....musta bn a fluke).  ...

Pros: Supposedly can sync to NIST clock signal, has digital tuned radio, nice touch operation.

Pros: Features

Cons: Quality

Review: I got this clock radio weather station for my birthday and was pretty happy with the features. I have it in the bathroom so don't use the alarm function but like the radio, accurate time, and remote temperature sense. The touch sensitive feature was ...

Pros: None

Cons: Everything

Review: I got this as a gift and it's the worst alarm clock ever. As another reviewer mentioned, the snooze only works once, and the backlight is not all the time making it impossible to read the time at night. The touch features don't work well, and even when ...
