BALDR Digital Alarm Clock with Calendar, White Backlit, LCD Displays Indoor Temperature & Humidity

This was the perfect size for my desk and the information is easy to read at a glance (including time, temp, humidity, date/day info). I don't use the alarm clock feature, so I can't comment on that part of it, but it seems to be exactly what I was expecting and wanted. It was pretty easy to set up and seems to be working perfectly. You have to push the top button to get the back-lit display and it only stays on for a few seconds. However, in my office lighting (overhead fluorescent lights) it is still easy to read. Not sure how easy it would be to see across a room, but for that purpose you should probably purchase a wall sized clock or something bigger than this.

I really wanted something that would be big enough to read without glasses in the middle of the night, but that wouldn't be glaring in my face with the lighting all night. This fits the bill! Nice big numbers, no glasses needed (and the light is activated by pressing a button - win!).

I bought this to put next to the "Restroom Sign-Out" sheet so students could easily record their time. The fact that it includes the extra items including the date is a bonus. The only negative is that you do have to be pretty much eye level to read it.
