My cousin asked for a travel clock that showed the different time zones. This is the only one that was compact, easy to read and showed all 24 zones.

This is as close aa anything I've run across yet to a gadget that tells time world-wide. Its biggest challenge in use is getting it set. It took me about 10 minutes, but then, I do have limited vision.

Already travelled internationally with it and I've been very satisfied with it. I wish it had multiple alarm settings so I don't have to always change it. Other than that, its a great product. Very compact and doesn't eat up the batteries.

I have been searching for a travel alarm clock for a few weeks and this is the ONLY travel alarm clock that displays the city AND the day as well as the date. The only negative thing about this clock is you MUST remove the battery cover to set the alarm!! That gets old quick! But other than that it works great and the feature of that "flash light" is a great addition when you're up and about at night in the hotel room!
