Honeywell RC182WS Atomic Clock with Indoor Thermometer | sharp ...

I was looking for a clock that would be simple to use, battery driven, and small enough to pick up easily. I like to reach over to the nightstand and grab the alarm clock to read the time – a habit from when I still wore glasses and needed to bring it up close to read the numbers.

This clock had a lot of features I thought would be perfect: automatic setting, battery operated, small, temperature reading, pleasant shape.

Sadly, it didn’t fit my needs. It didn’t synch up with the atomic clock at all the first day so I ended up setting it manually. The manual setting process was not intuitive or even easy to do with the directions.

The round shape, while more attractive than some, was just a little to large for me to easily grab off the nightstand. Which led to it getting knocked off the nightstand once. That was all it took to break the snooze/light button.

I did like having the thermometer reading and the fact that you could set two different alarms. But the light was a little weak, the snooze button a little small, and the operation non-intuitive. Also, the numbers weren’t in focus unless you had a certain angle. I wish it had worked out better, but I had to replace it within a week.

i’ve had this Honeywell Atomic Table Clock RC182WS for 2 years and overall it works very well…

it has found the 60 khz WWVB radio time sync signal just about every night without issues…it even found it in my ‘below grade’ basement and pointed in the ‘wrong’ direction…so i am surprised by those who said here that it did not find the signal….the antenna is a ferrite bar (much like those found in many am radios) so it picks up the signal best from the front or back and less well from either side…so orient it accordingly for the signal from the nist transmitter in colorado….it automatically searches for the signal for about 10 minutes every night starting at 1 am and repeats the search hourly if not found at 1 am…

heres a very interesting description of how these radio clocks work > [...]

and as has been said, the display backlight is very dim…but it works well enough in a dark room….

and the temperature reading seems to be fairly accurate….

i discovered one ‘quirk’ > only one of the 2 AA batteries is used for the clock circuitry…and the other is for the backlight only…thats unusual, but not a problem…..and both of the alkaline batteries i originally installed were still working well after 2 years….
