Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Chaney Instrument 13131 Atomix Dartmouth Desktop Alarm Clock
Customer Review: 6 month clock
Summary: 2 Stars
I have owned this for 2 years, I will not change time/ at daylight savings change. I usually take the battery out and reset the clock from scratch. That did work a few times, the display corrected itself. That did not work this year however. Pressing the "rescan for signal" is supposed to make it update to the correct time, but it does not.
There is a DST button on the bottom, put it on eastern time and it is one hour behind. It is one hour behind no matter what I do. Well until Fall when the time changes back, then it is accurate again.
Contact with the manufacturer/ Chaney Inst. has had no positive result.
I bought an atomix wall clock a few months ago, it would not change either. But when I reset the signal and just set the clock aside, sometime on Monday it did catch up. Note Saturday was the change over date.
The desk clock is Still one hour late, even after repeated restarts.
Note: I also have a Sharp Atomic Clock, with the same features which has not missed a change up and is always correct.
So if you want a desk clock that you can use for a few months out of the year, this is a good one. I do like the features, IF they would function. But if you need a clock for all year round, the Sharp would probably be better.
