I like precise clock and watch , so when atomic time device become mainstream , I become addict to they . they be all over we house . I travel 45 week per year on business , so when I see this atomic travel alarm I buy it for 2 reason : 1 . -rrb- it set itself to the current atomic time from the official atomic clock in Colorado , and 2 . -rrb- it have a adjustable snooze alarm -lrb- which be rare in a portable travel alarm clock -rrb- . it work great , be accurate to the second , and set itself on the road , no matter what time zone I be in . I be so impressed , I end up buy another one . my only complaint , if you can call they complaint , be that the snooze function be a little weird and make sure you have turn off the alarm completely can be tricky in the dark . in order to `` hit '' the snooze , you have to push\/bend the top of the clock backwards against the resistance of the spring in the hinge of the stand . if the clock be on a slippery surface , you only end up slide the clock across the surface instead of activate the snooze . in order to turn the alarm off , it say to push any button on the clock . however , that only turn it off for 24 hour , when the alarm will go off again -lrb- sometimes on a Saturday when it be a unwelcome surprise -rrb- . in order to make sure you have completely turn the alarm off , you have to find and push\/hold the actual alarm button itself a little longer , and in order to do that , I find that I have to turn on a light , find the right button , and make sure it have not reset itself for 24 hour from now . I think the snooze should be easier and turn off the alarm should definitely be easier , but once I get use to fumble around in the dark with it , I be still happily use it every week for travel .
