I see it in Brookstone a few day ago and be totally sell on the idea of `` self-setting '' . well , that be actually not very true . pro : large display with adjustable level . the blue display also look a lot better than the usual green or red . the alarm be easy to use . it `` should '' be able to automatically adjust for Daylight Savings Time . con : Brookstone be intentionally vague about what they mean by `` self-setting '' . no , it do not connect to the US atomic clock as some reviewer say . it be merely pre-set in the factory , and sustain by the battery . if you look at they manual -lrb- -lrb- ... -rrb- -rrb- you will understand why : if you `` reset '' the clock , it will not reset to the current time . I do not realize this until I be try out the feature and inadvertently change the original clock . I think by `` reset '' the clock it will adjust back automatically . nope . this be the feature that I think be worth the price tag , but now I just feel cheated . the clock do use a battery -lrb- pre-installed -rrb- . so it be not really `` self-setting '' . while it store the day\/month\/year info , there be no way to show they on the clock screen . and , it be a lot easier and more tempting to turn of the alarm than snooze : the button to turn it off be a lot taller than the snooze button . overall , it be not a bad one even if it be not really automatic . I just wish they be more straightforward about what it really be .
