  Verified Purchase

  I bought this to replace a failed Oregon Scientific station that had lasted me for over 2 decades. This new Youshiko station has much to commend it: a good, clear display, excellent backlighting, all the functions I want (or need), and touch sensitive alarm / snooze on the top edge. It's a good station, and I do like what it does.
  However....
  The person that designed it had a monumental brain-fart when they decided to put all the control buttons on the BACK of the device! This means that in order to change time, switch alarms on /off, or interact with the device in any way, you need to be continually flipping it over to look at the display, and then flip it back to see which button you need to press. It's a bit of a pain, if I'm honest. If only they had sited the buttons on the bottom bezel, it would have been so much easier to use.
  One other slight niggle .... the external sensor consistently reads 1 degC lower than the main device, even when both are placed side-by-side in the same room. Calibration issues like this are not ideal .... which is correct?
