(More customer reviews)Sorry to say it, as I've liked Oregon Scientific products in the past, but this is a junker. Two chief problems. First is that it doesn't know how to switch over to daylight savings time correctly. I understand that the switch-over dates were changed this year, but this is the more recent model clock, and the older RM826A has no trouble this year. I got up an hour late on that first daylight savings time Sunday in March. Sadly, even if you manually set the RM323A to the correct time, it will reset overnight to the wrong time. The only way to fix this (per Oregon Scientific's web site) is to turn off the radio connection to the atomic clock, thereby defeating the reason for owning this clock in the first place. (In fairness, O-S says that it will work fine after April 1, but what about future years when the dates change around? My guess is same problem.) The second problem is that it's very difficult to use, including such basic stuff as setting an alarm. Granted, Oregon Scientific clocks don't have a lot of buttons, so it has to be a little complicated to handle all of the functions. But this particular clock has both a "single alarm" and a "weekly alarm" that goes off every day at the same time, and selecting which one, setting the alarm time, and even just turning on and off the alarm is anything but obvious.
I suppose the world time capability could be useful for some folks, but I find this clock worse in every respect than the RM826A, which is no longer manufactured. I'm going to toss this one in the trash and find a couple of RM826A's before they're no longer available. Oregon Scientific has no more in stock as of a couple of days ago.
