Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SharpTech SPC303 LCD Travel Alarm Clock with Folding Metal Case (Champagne)
Customer Review: Imperfect, but it's proved to be quite usable
Summary: 3 Stars
I admit I was swayed by its neo-RAZR looks when I picked this up at a local Bartell's Drug Store (a Seattle-area retail institution, in case you're wondering). It's been with me on several trips, and has performed quite well. However, it's certainly not a perfect device. For instance, despite its metal case the materials are still on the flimsy, thin and cheezy side of perfection...by a rather wide margin, I might add.
The hinge for this clamshell operating design has plenty of wiggle and play, though admittedly it does stay closed when need be so it does keep the LCD protected when on the move to the next destination. As others have noted, the blue-tinted backlight is near useless because of the extremely low light level it manages to (barely) emit. Yet in a (extremely) darkened room it's still bright enough read the screen...from select angles, that is. This LCD display has a rather narrow viewing angle in the top-to-bottom axis; the digits can get awfully dull and fuzzy when not looking at the LCD at a near perpendicular angle. The alarm's shrill, electronic beeping is for me not the most pleasant noise to wake up to.
Yet for all its flaws, this little bugger has done what I needed of it when I've had to rely upon it. Time keeping has been accurate over the several months of ownership and usage, the battery still appears to be going strong (though I too had to finesse the initial battery installation in order to get the thing to work correctly), and it's managed to wake me up every time I've needed it to do exactly that. Due to its chassis' rather questionable build quality, I'd certainly feel more comfortable looking elsewhere when considering an alarm clock on a backwoods trip. But for the relative safe confines of a hotel room, this little clock has so far done a dependable and solid job of fulfilling exactly what the thing was originally created to do.
