Just because it is handy, don’t worry, there are lots of available features on your digital travel alarm clock. One really great one is the automatic adjustment for Daylight Savings Time. As you may or may not know, the time jumps back and forth by an hour twice a year. This causes a twice yearly panic to change every single clock in the house. These newer travel alarm clocks have this feature built in so that you don’t have to worry about changing the time back and forth ever again. Another feature that is relatively new is the automatic synchronization to the atomic clock located in Colorado. These clocks receive a 60KHz WWVB time synchronization signal which allows them to set the time automatically.

I have also seen sports versions of these clocks. This type of digital travel alarm clock comes with many features that can be very important out in the wild. An example feature would be a built-in flashlight. Newer flashlights are equipped with white LEDs instead of traditional lamps because LEDs consume much less power and are very hardy. Unlike their fragile glass counterparts, LEDs can survive a five foot drop even when operational. Another feature is a weather radio to tune in and find out if you are about to be caught in a storm. Of course, there are the obligatory AM/FM bands for your favorite news and music stations. Some clocks also feature a temperature display. Now you can see just how cold your air conditioner can get the room.
