I've had this thing for 6 months now and it lost 2 minutes.

As of this moment, it has lost 3 minutes in approximately 1 week (I believe it is actually slightly less than 1 week.)It is also kind of a pain to set the alarm as compared to the clock it replaced and the backlight, even when on the lower setting, is very bright.

-Great range for radio signals on a sub $200 tunerCons:-The display on the dimmest setting, without being off completely, is still a bit bright once your eyes adjust to the darkness.-Button layout not exactly convenient or intuitive.-Programming the alarm has a bit of a learning curve.-You can't manually adjust the time(ie. forward 5 minutes or delayed 5 minutes)Bottom

If you enjoy puzzles and want to waste 30 minutes everyday setting the alarm then this is the alarm clock for you.

But now using numerous other time-telling devices (another portable clock, my cell phone etc) it seems only to take a couple or few days to lose a minute.

Not as good as 30 minutes of natural light, but hey... it would be cool.
