Casio Collection Wake Up Timer Digital Alarm Clock DQD-110B-8AEF

I really like this clock. I didn't want too many pointless features like a moon phase or barometer and this strikes the perfect balance with just a thermometer plus the ever handy radio time which allows you to forget about it and let the clock take care of itself. It is nice and easy to adjust the alarm time without having to cycle through menus and I like the button on the side which gives you the option of Off, On and a Snooze enabled mode. I was worried that I would physically have to turn the alarm off each morning (and remember to turn it on at bed time) as I thought hitting the top button would merely activate snooze which would result in the alarm going off again 5 minutes later. Instead I can use the middle option where the alarm will only sound once and I only have to move it to the off position at the weekend. The clock lights up well when you hit the top button, my complaints would be that the top light/snooze button could be bigger (perhaps it could be raised and given a rubbery feel) and the viewing angle on the screen isn't too great which forces me to tilt the clock towards me - I can see it falling on the floor one day when I try to grab it half asleep. Those complaints aren't enough for me to mark it down though as it feels solidly built for the price.

I bought this as a replacement for my older Casio wave ceptor clock radio which finally stopped working after about 10 years. This looks to be just as good. It is silent when in use and although has a bright light when you need it (press the top) it is nice and dark for next to the bed. It has time, day anddate as you would expect. The alarm is loud but nottoo annoying and there is asnooze button for if you want an extra few minutes. It syncs to the auto time clock when you want it to and so far has kept excellent time It is very light and ideal from travel use.

Both my Son and I have been using these for several years and they have never let us down. Ignore the bad review re the one hour daylight saving time glitch, you can set the clock to ignore this and stick to the correct GMT WaveCeptor time. It very easy to set and has an easily accessible snooze button that lasts for half an hour at five minute intervals. This button also lets you illuminate the time in the dark. The clock also gives you the date and the temperature of the room. The batteries last a long time as well. This really is the best alarm clock I've ever had.

It switches to German time so its always an hour out.... and not managed to solve the problem which makes the clock next to useless in a UK environment for which it was purchased.

Seems to update from Germany rather than nearer Rugby

Probably the best bedside alarm clock this side of £30 Like waveceptor watches this gets a signal from the atomic clock time frequencies which are used by aviation and military. It can be adjusted so it doesn't add or subtract an extra hour when DST is set and it is somehow picking up the DE signal better than the UK one. When calibrating , keep it away from any cfl lights or light dimmer circuits (that are on) *ONLY DO THIS IF YOU ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH IT ADDING AN HOUR AFTER IT GETS A FULL 4 BAR SIGNAL* Hit set once (small central button @back at very bottom - may require a pen) the first bottom left hand area/section of the front LCD display blinks, basically press arrow up or down on the front to subtract or add 1 or as many hours as you like. (this sounds more difficult than it is) Make sure you then press the same set button (and don't adjust anything else unless you need DST on or off) slowly several times till you hear a confimation beep and see that the display is showing all normal indications (seconds are advancing) - you are now out of setting mode it should have the correct time and keep the correct time. You should not have to adjust it again- unless batteries go dead and it's still not picking up the UK atomic time signal well. 2x aaa's are included, but if you put 2x aaa lithiums in this it will go on for more than 1 year without adjustment. As this clock tries to recieve and calibrate the exact time via radio waves several times a day, try to keep it away from any flourescent bedside lamps (cfl types) as often these lamps interfere with radio reception. We have two of these clocks, one is 5 years old and is on it's second set of aaa's, the second we just purchased recently ; as often some of the most loved products eventually get rebranded and prices can shoot up I wasn't going to wait for our last to fail and find we could not replace it.

This alarm clock is extremely accurate, had for several weeks now and has never missed a second. I live in Glasgow and the clock always picks up the calibration signal. It also displays the temperature, the time the alarm is set, it has a night light and the date. The alarm is loud enough to wake me up without being annoying. This is an excellent radio controlled alarm clock would recommend it without any reservations.

This is a great clock. Not easy to set up initially but once it's done it just manages itself. Great not having to change it when the clocks go forward or back or if you go to a new time zone. Really stylish with a loud enough alarm which is easy to switch off. The light is perfect for viewing in the dark as well.

Sorry I do not spean German. Very good clock. The size is the right one for a night table alarm clock, the time signal reception is sensitive enough to receive the DCF77 signal in the fringe areas of the DFC77 time signal (1500km from Mainflingen in Germany). I have another couple of DCF77 clock from Aldi and Lild and they do not receive the signal in fringe areas in Spain as well as this one does. Leaving this clock in night table, this clock is capable of syncronising with DCF77 in Ceuta (Africa) at 2000km from Mainflingen during the night, but never during the day. Only if I leave it outside the house it can syncronise with DCF77 during the day. When I am at 2000km from Mainfligen, I am satisfied if the clock sycronises correctly just once a day, because quarz clocks do not really loose time in just 24 hours. Although it can only receive the DCF77 signal and not the MSF signal, it can be adjusted to many other European time zones. In that case, it stays in that time zone, like for instance the time of the United Kingdom, or the time of Lithuania, and it will still follow and sycronise with the DCF77 transmitter's signal. It also shows the strengh of the reception of the signal, so if you are in a fringe zone you can put it in the place where the signal is stronger. For that you have to press WAVE. It then sycronises with the DCF77 signal and shows the strengh of the reception in a line on top of the clock that grows accordingly to the strengh of the signal. It also tells you the room temperature and can give you an o'clock acustic signal too. It is very easy to read. It is easy to programme and adjust (just leave it to syncronise if you live in the CET zone). There are many new models of DCF77 clocks and this is a very old model by now. However, the new ones have nothing to envie to this one and this one is unexpensive. It has a fantastic quality/price relation. Although made in China, this is a Casio and a high quality DCF77 alarm clock.

Très bon réveil. J'avais le même depuis 6 ans et il était parfait. Une mauvais chute m'a obligé à le remplacer. Très pratique pour les déplacements à l'étranger car il est compact et se met automatiquement à l'heure. Une chance qu'il se fasse encore ! Seul bémol est que le son de la sonnerie est fort et pas réglable dans le menu, mais si on lui ressoude une petite résistance on obtient un bruit pas trop fort.

El reloj es muy bueno. Tenía otro igual, que lleva años funcionando sin el menor problema. Al buscar un despertador para regalar a mi mujer, vi un sinfín de modelos diferentes y al final opté por comprar éste, igual al que tengo en mi mesilla. De esta forma, tenemos los dos a juego. El reloj se sincroniza, se pone en hora, por radio automáticamente. Aparte de la hora, marca también la fecha y la temperatura mientras no se actva el despertador, en cuyo caso muestra la hora del despertador en vez de la fecha. Tiene un mando en el lateral derecho para poner el despertador, también con función "snooze". El ajuste de la hora del despertador se hace con los botones de delante. El pitido del despertador cuando llega a su hora es suficientemente alto pero no estridente; va aumentando poco a poco el volumen. Lo mejor del reloj es que al pulsar el botón de arriba, se ilumina la pantalla con una luz tenue pero suficiente de noche para ver la hora, y además no emite ningún pitido. Consume muy poca energía; funciona con un par de pilas AAA. Tiene, además, un diseño muy bonito.

Der Wecker schaut nicht nur gut aus, er funktioniert auch tadellos und lässt sich einfach bedienen. Das Zeitsignal wird sicher empfangen, die Batterien halten ewig (mehrere Jahre). Man kann 2 Weckmodi wählen. Wecken mit Snooz-Funktion oder normales Wecken. Dies bevorzuge ich, da man beim Klingel nur auf den Taster drücken muss, um den Weckton abzuschalten. Am kommenden Morgen weckt er dann wieder, ohne dass ich ihn extra einschalten muss. Diese Funktion hat kein anderer! Die Weckzeit läßt sich sehr einfach verstellen, einfach auf die seitlichen Tasten drücken! Kein Durcharbeiten durch Menüs etc. Darum: Kaufempfehlung!!! Auch wenn das Display besser ablesbar sein könnte und der Weckton etwas penetrant ist.

je suis fidèle depuis des années a ce réveil excellente présentation, facile a utiliser, avoir la température de la pièce est très pratique, meilleur rapport qualité prix
