In-store Walgreens has a model for $10 as a Father's Day special. This also has an indoor thermometer.

I'm sure you all know this, but since you have access to the Internet, you can get the correct time at http://www.time.gov/.

also have it on line... do a search for clocks. Also, the desk wall clock with 7" Display has date and temp. Tho it says the temp is 793!!! It's hot at the factory. Too bad it's out of stock but shipping kills the deal unless you really want to spend 50 bucks at wallgreens?

Very nice post tlowing.......welcome to the AT forums........

I went with the Lacrosse w/moon phase - I bought another one w/moon phase but it was much too big for my nightstand so this is just about right. Total cost w/shipping from Sierra Trading was $25.45 but I could have taken a cheaper delivery option of $4.50 instead of the $5.50 I chose and save a buck.

 

[TurtleMan]

free shipping in my save now! pop out thingy..
so i don't think it is illegal to post them here .. i think ...
code: 19846

 

[weepul]

i first saw this in Brookstone @ the airport. sold for like $50. hehe.

//krunk (^_^x)

 

[sglurker]

how visible are the backlights? is it really a backlight or is it just a tiny light bulb on the side of the screen?

 

[tlowing]

Most of these use that blue baclight you see on a lot of watches nowadays. Example:

LaCrosse Backlit



BTW, the LaCrosse and Seiko run $40+ other places.

 

[tlowing]

I don't see where to apply the free shipping coupon code. Any ideas?

 

[beatle]

Is the backlight on all the time or only when you push a button? I'd prefer it to be on all the time so I can put it out of the way and still be able to read it when I'm up late with most of the lights out.

Oops, meant for the Silver Seiko.

 

[tlowing]

All the ones I linked turn off when not in use (alarm going or pressing snooze/light). What you wany want to look for is a projecting atomic clock like this:

$23.95 LaCrosse Projection Clock.

One problem you will encounter is that most projection clocks have power cords. One exception is the Oregon Scientific model RM888PA.


$41 Oregon Scientific Projection Travel Clock -you may want to search for other suppliers.


If you want to search for other projection clockes search "atomic projection clock" on Google. If you find a part number try searching Froogle.Google.com for lowest prices.

 

[edavid]

I like this one, from OfficeMax:

$29.99 Four Star International

The price used to be $23.99, maybe it will go down again... still might be good for coupon/rebate deal fodder.

 

[Joe221]

FYI Costco B&M is often a good source for RC clocks. As always it's a YMMV but keep your eyes open near all the clock radios and TVs area.

 

[Askalon]

hehehehe, first read the title as Atomic Chicks...

 

[InfiniteSadness]

are there any atomic clocks that display the outside temperature?

 

[lobadobadingdong]

they sell these at Sams for $30.

There are plenty of atomic clocks that show the outside temperature. Do a Google search (or your favorite search engine) for atomic clocks and I am sure you will find them!

 

[Miramonti]

good for traveling.
