USB Charging Projection Alarm Clock Radio

Product Review (submitted on May 17, 2021):

I do like this product even though there is room for improvement regarding the design of the time projector and the display dimming. I own a totally different brand of alarm clock coming from Europe and I love the design of its time projector which is embedded into the main body with just a tiny moving part to set the projection where you want it to be and then there are 2 scroll wheels to adjust the horizontal alignement of the projection and the focus plus a button to reverse the projection. This product has a ridiculously bulky projector part with no horizontal alignment whatsoever but you can adjust the focus and reverse the projection, with that said, it works pretty well and the projection is large enough to be seen by the myopic that I am. Now the dimming really needs to be reviewed as the lowest setting still illuminate my bedroom which is usually totally dark at night, so I have put a bit of 'Dim It' light dimming sheet (available on Amazon) and the display is no perfect at lowest setting. You can switch the display off but then, there is a tiny bright dot displayed instead which defeats the purpose of that feature.Other than that, this alarm clock features all the goodiness you have to learn to master such as the separate week and weekend alarms, I did not paid attention the first time I used it and set it by mistake on weekend alarm during the week. Luckily, I had a backup alarm as I had to catch a flight!! What is great though is that you set the alarm you want on the radio station you want at the volume you want, those setting should never change even if you listen to the radio at higher volume in between. Thumbs up for that. Another plus is that the internal battery is the smallest I have ever seen in an alarm clock, looks easy to swap and keeps the clock ticking in case of blackout. The automatic clock sync over the air is amazing, no need to set the time and the date unless you live in a Faraday cage.I dropped one star just for the display dimming which requires an urgent makeover and the ridiculous projector without horizontal adjustment. I cannot tell for the USB charger, I do not use it.
