Sony ICF C318 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio with Dual Alarm White
Sony ICF C318 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio with Dual Alarm White
The correct EST (Eastern Standard Time) has been preset at the factory, so just plug the clock in and adjust the time zone as necessary. In the case of a power interruption, the built-in Lithium battery maintains the correct time so you don’t have to re-set the clock. When Daylight Savings Time changes take place in the spring and fall each year, there is no need to adjust the clock because the built-in calendar recognizes the dates and automatically makes the proper time adjustments. Dual Alarms with Alarm Indicator permits two separate wake-up times with individual wake-up settings and confirms that the alarm has been activated to turn on at the pre-set time. Choose your own snooze time instead of being held captive by the short time intervals of other snooze times. Each press of the snooze button adds an additional 10 minutes to your total snooze time for up to a full hour of uninterrupted sleep.

User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Would give 5 if not for the battery
Arrived shiny new and cute. This little thing is decent and its double alarm function is well worth the money! Ajustable clock digit illumination just adds to its perfect design. I actually use the default(brightest) and it’s far from “too bright” at all. FM sound quality fairly acceptable, even “mono” mode for every station (due to a solo speaker).
The backup battery fails to keep the time on its arrival, which is the only reason for not giving the 5th star. Battery changed and it rocks!
All in all, Dream Machine, literally.
4 Stars Wake Up Call!
This is great item for the price. Claity is really good! Love it!!!!
5 Stars BUY IT
It’s a dual time set alarm clock with radio. You can set your snooze times and have an extra alarm to wake you if needed. For the money, you won’t find better any where local, unless you work at Sony.
3 Stars Not bad for the price
I recently bought this to replace one that always lost the time if there was a power outage. Even new backup batteries did not help.
Pros: Small, nice radio reception, time is already set, keeps time in case of power outage
Cons: You have to re-activate the alarm daily after turning it off in the morning. Not a good thing!
Setting the alarm with the button on the side requires two hands.
Overall not a bad alarm clock though (if you remember to activate the alarm again 
).
2 Stars Nice but very quiet alarm
The radio works great as do the dual alarms. Everything works as you’d expect and makes common sense.
The only disappointment is that the alarm is very soft. There’s a high/low switch, but the difference between the 2 levels is almost imperceptible.
Other than the alarm it’s a nice clock radio.
