My favorite model for travel/bedside clock
October 25, 2015
I've use this clock for 10 years under a different brand name. I was able to match it and bought this second one for my desk. There are things that aren't perfect about it, mainly the settings slides are a little finicky, but overall, it's reliable and works fine as a bedside alarm clock. You can't change the settings in the dark, that's for sure. :)I live in an area with frequent power failures. The easily replaceable and long lasting AAA battery is a must. The alarm works fine. If the top button was split into a snooze and the light button, it would be perfect. Since the model has been unchanged for many years, I doubt that will happen.
Third -- it is easy to read
November 20, 2014
This clock gets everything right for a travel alarm.First, it is small -- very compact.Second it is quiet -- no loud ticking.Third -- it is easy to read. And the touch of a button provides a lighted dial.Fourth -- it is accurate.Fifth -- the alarm is loud enough to wake even someone with poor hearing.And last, the temperature and calendar functions make for a nice addition.
Great Clock Meets Requirements
October 13, 2014
My wife and I had a few requirements for my bedside alarm clock.1) It had to be quiet when not alarming. Many clocks beep as you press buttons, which is very annoying.2) The backlight had to be usable and easy to find in the dark.3) The backlight needs to be off when not wanted.4) It had to be rugged enough to survive if my two-year old got her hands on it. (That's what did in my last clock.)The Howard Miller 645358 meets all these requirements. It has easy to read digits. It is very easy to set, with intuitive, well labeled buttons. It has two alarm modes: a 'snooze' mode, where pressing the backlight gives you a few minutes more sleep, and what I would call a 'daily' mode, where pressing the backlight resets the alarm until tomorrow. The alarm itself starts out quiet, then gradually increases in volume.The clock also has a thermometer, which is a non-critical feature but can be useful. I would recommend this clock to anyone.
clock
December 23, 2013
Great clock, great value, already had one and its about five years old and have had no problems and needed another
Simple to set up
December 21, 2013
The main test of a digital clock is if you can use it without reading directions. I opened box, inserted battery and set time and alarm without referring to directions. Worked perfectly! Setup does require multiple presses instead of holding button down. After testing clock, I got out directions and noticed the battery was a factory test battery and would not give as long of service as regular AAA battery. I decided to pull out the factory battery and put in a high quality AAA battery. 1 minute later I has clock reset. Lightweight with protective clam shell! Very adequate and recommended as good value and good quality!
A nice traveling clock
October 14, 2012
I bought this as a replacement for a similar clock that wore out. The button time & date adjustments are easier to set than the last model I had and the Distant Time Traveler appears to be more robust. It folds up into a nice compact size and is very light. I feel it presents a good cost/benefit ratio and recommend it.

Worked great for my three week adventure trip
October 17, 2016
I purchased this awhile back but wanted to wait until I used it for sometime before reviewing it. I used it on short trips and it worked great. Now I used it on a three week adventure trip and I still think it's great, and survived. The only negative thing and the reason for 4 out of 5 is the AM PM is bearly readable and very hard to tell which it is set to when setting the alarm. I would recommend this to most people.
The Perfect Travel Alarm for My Needs
March 21, 2015
Finding an alarm clock for travel was more complicated than I had expected. I wanted a back-up alarm for foreign lands where my smart phone might run out of juice. Most of them out there get pretty low marks by the reviewers. That said, this Howard Miller 645359 Time Traveler fills the bill nicely. I'd give it five stars, except that it does look kind of cheap and plasticy. This may be a trade-off, though, because the plastic makes it very light, so easy to travel with.In any case, this clock is very intuitive to set. I had it ready to go in minutes. (And I'm not someone who messes with a lot of electronics.) I did put in my own battery, as the factory one is meant to be short-lived. This clock is quiet as a mouse, which is VERY important to me. It's keeping good time and the alarm goes off as instructed, with a tone that is not obnoxious. Out of an abundance of caution, I did save the tiny box that it comes in, with the little bubble wrap, just to protect it when it's en route with me.If you are looking for a clock with a large read-out and that lights the night, this is not for you. If you want a tidy little travel alarm that is easy to set and works well, I can highly recommend this clock.
This is a nice clock - with a clean
November 9, 2014
This is a nice clock - with a clean, clear digital display. I would have given it five stars but for the overly glossy clear plastic cover over the face of the clock. I have to position it "just so" in order to minimize reflections so that I can easily read it. I would have preferred a slightly more matt finish over the readout area. The other reason for 4 stars is that I would have thought the little clock would have had a nice metal case - not a cheap looking plastic one that pretends to have a "metallic look." I bought it to replace a little Sharp traveling clock that I had used for several years prior, and it was 1) all metal and 2) was viewable without issues of reflection so I know it can be done. This is, after all, a Howard Miller clock. So I was expecting a more finished product.
Nice appearance. Came with a small slip case
July 28, 2014
Nice appearance. Came with a small slip case.I was surprised that tapping the top does not snooze or turn on the light like the other similar travel alarms I have had. Instead, you have to squeeze the top. I.E. push the large "button" at the top. It is a little harder to activate that light in the dark than one that you simply hit the top, but the button is pretty sensitive, so it isn't much harder.
Small battery alarm clock
October 24, 2012
Bought this clock so that when power goes out I will still wake up for work. It is small, compact and plastic. Loud enough to wake me up but I am not a heavy sleeper. It is alittle softer than a cell phone alarm.
Excelent travel alarm
February 19, 2012
This is an excelent travel alarm. I had to replace one from Brookstone that was unreliable (I think it had a bad switch). This one works great. I like the settings layout with the time adjustment settings on one side and the alarm on/off setting on the other. This makes it (almost) impossible to accidently adjust the time while trying to turm off the alarm. I also like the 5 minute snooze.

My bad...
May 26, 2016
I was trying to keep too many things in mind when buying an alarm clock for travel, and missed with buying this one.The good: It doesn't beep when you push the buttons, it has a good display and a good light that's only on when I want it, and the alarm and time functions seem to work well.The bad: The buttons are on the outside when it's all closed up. How I didn't notice this in the picture, I don't know. But I know from experience that they'll get bumped in my bag and it will beep when I don't want it to, or lose battery to an accidentally-pressed light button. Darn.Well, I take off in a few days, so I guess I'm stuck with it.
great clock but would be better if alarm time always displayed
September 10, 2015
great to have time and temperature on the clock, but I have discovered that it would be more helpful to show the alarm time without having to change a setting (slide a bar) on the side to see what time the alarm is set for. otherwise, great design. small and light.
Great, but...
July 27, 2014
It's a great small clock with a loud alarm. Because of its size I have concerns about the slide switches on either side, they seem fragile although they haven't caused a problem. Also, the LCD displace is clear during the day, but at night when the display is illuminated the display washes out at normal viewing angles.
Not the same
December 4, 2013
I got this clock to replace one just like that I had forever. I heard that the updated model was not as good so I got the same model. The only thing is when I put the light I have to change the angle because I cant see any of the numbers. Annoying but not enough to return.
Side controls could be better marked
August 13, 2013
Display is plenty bright and the alarm is loud enough to wake me up. The two side slides control the alarm and time/alarm setting. I prefer to have these functions labeled on the clock face instead of the back. I cross time zones frequently and the old travel clock I used previously had a one-button zone select that was very convenient. This unit does not have such a feature.
Not as good as my last one
September 20, 2012
I bought this to replace an older travel alarm I left in a hotel room on my last trip. Although it works well, the set-up was not intuitive, the light does not stay on long enough when you press on it, and its a little bulkier than I would have liked. However, ir works amd keeps good time. It will do the job, but I miss my old travel buddy.

Disappointing
August 24, 2016
I initially thought that this was a nice little travel alarm. But now that I am actually using it, I am very disappointed. Pros: it's small and relatively easy to set. Cons: the alarm is not loud enough and it is impossible to see the time in the dark even when you press the backlight. For me, the cons far outweigh the pros. I plan on replacing it when I get back home.
Not the best choice
February 4, 2016
I am not satisfied with this clock. The design is clumsy when it is open and there is a back piece that doesn't easily get into the proper position. Also when setting the time or alarm, it is difficult to get the hours/minutes to start moving. You have to really push it in and it seems tempermental, sometimes works and other times not easily.
Not what I hoped for.
June 5, 2015
Kind of a waste of money. Battery compartment wouldn't hold batteries from the get go. Duct tape on a brand new product? Chintzy and cast off somewhere in my travels.
Not for the hard of hearing
February 6, 2015
The alarm doesn't not awaken me from a sound sleep (I wear hearing aids during the day). The display must be viewed from a narrow angle to be read at night and the alarm controls are not the most convenient I've seen. The clock is attractive, appears to be sturdy, and is a nice size for a travel alarm and I would have no problem with my purchase if I could just be sure I would hear the alarm. My wife can use it so all is not lost.
Cheaply Made. Looks like it will be lucky to last 1 week.
August 30, 2014
I just received this yesterday and it honestly looks and feels like it could fall apart at any time. It is so cheaply made I feel like I will be surprised if it lasts for 1 week. It's simple and easy to use just doesn't look like it's made well.
not too good
February 16, 2013
I own this exact style clock about ten years ago and was very disappointed with the small font. It is very hard to see in the dark as well as daytime (light).. If you just need something small that folds up and sounds alarm not volume....its ok

Too hard to set time and alarm.
Worst. Purchase. Ever.
May 10, 2016
Bad design. Pieces started falling off on my second trip (I used a previous travel clock from a different manufacturer for over 10 years of constant travel). Clock is noisy so you are assured of getting up on time BECAUSE IT WON'T LET YOU SLEEP. Do yourself a favor and avoid this clock altogether. I'm looking for a new one … but it won't be a Howard Miller product.
Not what I had in mind.
March 1, 2016
Too difficult to open and operate, was hoping for more ease.
The clock makes a noise when you push the bar ...
September 23, 2015
The clock makes a noise when you push the bar to light up the display. I don't think it is worth the price paid and will be returning it.
but not as good as I expected
February 8, 2015
Alarm is very soft, can't break through a deep sleep. Otherwise, product is satisfactory, but not as good as I expected.
Don't bother!
November 15, 2012
If there was an option for "no stars", this item would qualify!! This clock is simply awful! The material is flimsy, the box it came in was flimsy, and the price tag is ridiculous. If I saw this item at the $.99 store, I wouldn't even buy it. You can't even hear the alarm...a baby bird chirping would be louder than this alarm. Don't waste your time on this item.
