Okay, so I finally got my hands on the TXL Atomic Clock, and wow—this thing is a beast in the best way possible. The 14.2-inch display? Massive. I can literally see the time from my kitchen while cooking, and my grandma (who refuses to wear her glasses) can read it from across the room. Winner already.

The auto-set feature is *chef’s kiss*. It synced instantly like it’s got some secret government tech (which, apparently, it kinda does—thanks, Colorado radio waves?). Daylight savings? Handled. No more frantic Googling "how to adjust clock" twice a year.

Battery life is solid—came with batteries included (shoutout to not having to raid my TV remote stash). The backlight? Genius. It’s like the clock knows when I’m stumbling around at 3 AM for a snack and lights up just enough to save me from stubbing my toe.

Minor gripes: Setting the date/day buttons feels like solving a Rubik’s cube blindfolded (instructions could be clearer), and I wish it showed outdoor temp too. But for under $50? Absolutely worth it. My cat even sits under it like it’s her personal moon—5/5 stars.
