⏰ Never be late again with atomic precision!
The MARATHON Round Atomic Alarm Clock is a self-setting, self-adjusting timepiece that synchronizes with NIST’s Colorado Atomic Clock for unparalleled accuracy. Featuring a one-touch snooze and backlight, it displays time in both 12 and 24-hour formats, along with indoor temperature and eight North American time zones. Powered by two AAA batteries, this clock combines modern design with a legacy of craftsmanship.

Best atomic alarm with a 5-minute snooze
The design of this alarm clock is very aesthetically pleasing. It synchs quickly and is very easy to use. The alarm tone is not grating or obnoxious, and it's a slightly softer beep but still loud enough for waking. It is nice that the alarm setting buttons are hidden on the back. I like that it has a 5-minute snooze, not 8-minute like the Geevon atomic clock, which I also tried and was a close second in my search for the best atomic alarm clock. The switch on the side for turning on the alarm is slightly stiff to switch on and off. The light when turned on in a dark room is very bright. The numbers are always clear - but can just be a bit hard to read from certain angles or if a bedside lamp is on above it, because in those cases the shadows of the other LCD lines can be seen. All in all, I found this the best atomic alarm clock on the market for my needs.

Does not stay set to correct time
Does not stay set to correct time. If you press the light button it turns to 8:00 every time. And changes the date too. If it gets knocked over it resets to pst even though we’re est. Had it a month and it’s driving us crazy.

Multifunction alarm clock
This clock had all of the features I wanted and it has a somewhat futuristic look. It works well but has some design features that make it difficult to use. The snooze button is located right at the top of the clock but it needs to pushed right in the center to have it work, the alarm setting is on the right hand side of the clock but is difficult to turn off & on without using both hands and the clock can easily change time & settings if you mistakenly pick up the clock wrong and push a button or even drop the clock off a nightstand onto a carpeted floor.

Atomic part will not sync
The cook is good and what I expected but unfortunately I cannot get it to sync. The point of getting this was to never having to change time but that is not the case.I waited three days as the instructions suggested with no luck. I have other Atomic clocks in the house and I tested those and they had no problem syncing.

Love these
I've now purchased several to replace old failing clocks around the house. These are simple to use, give plenty of info and are easy to read from short-mid distance. Great for me, would probably make great gifts too.

Cute, but won’t calibrate
This is a cute clock, however it won’t calibrate properly and is stuck on Pacific time (I’m in Eastern). I followed the directions exactly, took it outside, took it on a drive, and it’s still 3 hours behind, hence the 2 stars. Otherwise, the temperature seems correct.

Disappointing purchase and no customer service support from seller
Was hoping this would be a nice purchase. Have had other atomic clocks. I travel to different time zones and like not having to manually adjust clock time each stop. Received the clock June 19. Clock will only connect to Pacific time zone and I am located in Eastern time zone. Even when I manually set the clock to correct Eastern time, it will revert back to Pacific time. To make matters worse, I have contacted seller support two times since June 22, and yet to receive a reply. Guess this will have to be returned.
