Review on ๐Ÿ“ป Sony ICF-C492 AM/FM Clock Radio with Large Display (Discontinued by Manufacturer) by Troy Arnold

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Affordable and easy to read without glasses

I paid $19.95 for this clock radio. I was looking for a watch with numbers big enough to tell the time without glasses from up to eight feet away. I didn't really bother with the radio or the alarm clock. I have an iPod clock radio on my bedside table, but I was looking for something to read while looking at the bedside table. There are periods (often weeks or even months) when I can comfortably sleep on just one of them. side or the other. At times like these, rolling over to check the time is enough to keep me awake and unable to fall back asleep for an hour or more. I needed a way to check the time without moving too much. I tried a projection clock, but the projected images were too small or too dark for me to read without glasses. That turned out to be a good decision for me. The numbers are big enough and bright enough that I can read them even while sitting on a bookshelf a few feet from my bed.

Pros
  • Variable brightness setting adjusts for lighting and environment
Cons
  • I'll be silent
