GOLOZA Projection Alarm Clock with 180° Projector and Adjustable Brightness

A 180° rotatable projector puts the time on a bedroom wall or ceiling, so you can check it without turning towards the clock. The projection is designed to work at a distance of 0.5–3 m, with no focus adjustment required.

The curved digital display has large blue digits and three brightness levels. You can adjust the clock face and projection separately, which gives you more control over how much light is visible at night.

A progressive-volume alarm, 9-minute snooze and USB output for charging a mobile device round out the bedside features. The clock runs from an AC adapter, its built-in CR2032 backup battery saves the time and alarm settings during a power interruption, but does not keep the display on or sound the alarm.

Who it’s for

This clock suits someone who wants to read the time from bed, either on the display or projected onto a nearby surface. The rotating arm offers flexibility in where the time appears, while the separate brightness controls let you set the face and projection to different levels. For a shared bedroom, that adjustment may be useful when one display setting is comfortable but the other feels too bright.

The top-mounted controls are large and clearly marked, which may make routine changes easier than navigating small buttons. A solid pick if you want an alarm clock that combines a visible time display with projection and a gradually increasing buzzer. The included USB output can also charge a phone or another mobile device while the clock uses an outlet.

Pros

The main advantage is choice: check the blue LED display, project the time onto a wall or ceiling, or adjust both brightness levels independently. The curved screen’s digits measure 3.4 × 1.7 inches, and the display supports 12- or 24-hour time. For someone who prefers not to reach for a phone to check the time overnight, a dedicated bedside display offers a simpler alternative.

The alarm increases in volume and speed rather than starting abruptly, and the large snooze button gives you an extra 9 minutes. The supplied details list the buzzer at 75 dB. There is also a practical distinction between this and a basic digital clock: projection adds another way to view the time, while the USB output adds a charging port.

What matters most

Placement affects whether the projection is useful: the stated working distance is 0.5–3 m, and the arm can be rotated through 180°. Think about whether there is a suitable wall or ceiling surface within that range before choosing it. If you mainly want a clock for a nightstand, the LED display remains the straightforward way to read the time.

Power behaviour is worth noting. The clock uses an AC adapter, and the CR2032 backup battery preserves settings if power is interrupted. It does not display the time or sound the alarm during an outage, so the backup is for retaining settings rather than providing a backup alarm. The listed adapter input is AC100-240V, 50/60Hz, the product details do not specify how long the backup retains settings.

Would projection add useful visibility in your room, or would a simple display do the job? It might not be a great match if you need an alarm to keep sounding when the power is off. The included USB output is rated at 5V/1A, a detail to consider if you intend to use it to charge another device.

Is it worth it?

Choose the GOLOZA if projection, adjustable brightness and a gradual alarm are features you will actually use at your bedside. It brings those functions together with a readable LED face, snooze control and a USB charging output. If you only need a basic clock and alarm, a simpler display-only model may be a more direct fit, if you choose this one, make sure its projection distance and outage behaviour suit your setup.
