Brookstone's Smartset Clock DST date shift issue:
At Brookstone's customer service web site they "apologize for any inconvenience" we suffer from the Smartset Clock Daylight Savings Time date shift debacle. The reality is that it is a huge inconvenience. Now you must adjust for DST on its new date and again on the old date (a couple weeks apart, twice a year). That's four times a year! These clocks are now dumber than my old wind up alarm clock which only had to be adjusted for DST twice a year. While the DST date shift decision was "beyond \otheir\c control" the price of the clocks is in their control. These are comparatively expensive clocks and it would speak volumes for Brookstone's integrity to its customers if they would offer those of us with these stupid clocks some kind of trade in offer. I loved this clock until this happened but now am compelled to replace it simply because it's such a parody looking at a clock every morning that is named "Smart" knowing that it is now the dumbest clock in the house. This issue is applicable to SmartSet clocks purchased prior to September, 2006. The clocks sold since then will function correctly until Congress decides to change daylight savings time again. The bottom line is that these are not "atomic" clocks which are set by the WWVB Atomic Clock radio time signal transmitted from Colorado. "Atomic" clocks would not have experienced this problem. Smartset clocks apparently utilize some kind of internal memory to make the time adjustments with no way to update the memory to accommodate changes that were not anticipated. Brookstone's sales pitch says "Never set or re-set your alarm clock again." I say, Never say Never. I'm thinking atomic.
