Review on Emerson CKS3516 SmartSet Dual-Alarm Clock Radio with Time Projection System (Limited Availability) by Ruvani Rodriguez

When the clock radio arrived the low battery warning light was already on. A new lithium battery was $7, but it was still cheaper than shipping it back, so I bought the battery. This negated any savings compared to buying the unit locally. The Smartset feature is a good idea, but it was programmed about two minutes slower. You can adjust it, but as soon as the power is cycled off and on again, you have to adjust it again. The projection function is very nice, projects large numbers onto the ceiling. Very easy to see in the gloomiest and darkest light conditions. So far, after about a month of use, the watch seems to be keeping the time very well. The weekday/weekend alarm function is very useful, as is the presence of two alarms. The sound quality of the radio is satisfactory at best, but that doesn't bother me. I only listen to talk radio and have a stereo in my bedroom if I want to listen to music. In general I would buy it again but make sure the battery is new on site. UPDATE: I had a watch. almost a year and there were several power outages. Each time the watch came back and set the correct time and date with no issues. I also like the projection on my ceiling. Very easy to read.
