Will it display the time and can it function as a clock radio without using an app on a smartphone?

Mine displays the time whether it is on or not. The brightness of the display has 3 levels. The clock radio or clock CD player can be programmed with the remote.

MCR-B142 Yamaha does show time only when it's turned on.You can also set the alarm. The radio has a wonderful sound.

No, it does not. It shows the seconds as well as the hours and minutes, though. But no clock feature.

It does have a clock feature. When the unit is off, nothing on the display. However, while unit is off, if "clock" button is pressed on remote, the time will appear on the screen, for about 20 seconds, without having to power on the unit.

The app is just a stand alone that works whether or not you have the alarm clock and is no use with the alarm clock. I have not used mine to play music or use music as the alarm. I have looked in the past and it seems it is a basic alarm clock.

The clock is only visible when you push the Display button (only shows the time temporarily for a few seconds, then returns to displaying either the station frequency or file name of the music currently playing). The clock is 12-hour format only; there is no 24-hour standard time format available. From my experience with this unit, the built-in clock isn't extremely accurate. It's generally less than a minute off every month or so. For most people, this is good enough. Me personally, though? I'm glad the clock stays hidden by default because I have a clock mounted to my dash above the stereo.

Sorry I can't answer your question, I am an android user. But I am very satisfied with the radio, good clean sound, that is what I was looking for in a clock radio.

Yes. When you select a radio station it displays for a few seconds and lights up, then the display reverts to the time.

It will show time on the watch face like a regular dumb watch. However, if you want email or Text alerts, then you need an android or iPhone.

it does have a clock and alarm built in but the readout,while perfectly adequate for a radio would be sort of difficult to read,especially for a blearly eyed soul in the dark.it's a great long range radio.i wouldn't get it as a clock

The Echo only displays time/date without a smartphone. Once paired with phone/app - the concept is that you don't need to look at the phone, the Echo will dusplay the data (on customizable screens) that you chose in the app.So: Echo needs a smartphone to display excercise info- else it's just a watch.

No. You can operate it with one finger except maybe for manually setting the time, but if you connect it to Wi Fi it can get the time automatically.

Yes it displays the date and time. It also displays steps, mileage, calories burned, or date. How this works is the time is always displayed with each one of those categories below it depending on which one you select.

The display does not show a clock. You can get the time by hitting a button on the remote.

No, this version of the clock can only be programmed with the iPhone. The light can still be turned on/off and adjusted directly on the clock, but the alarm can't be set or the sunrise/sunset simulations initiated without the iPhone. There is a different version that is designed to operate without the iPhone (http://www.amazon.com/Philips-HF3520-Wake-Up-Colored-Simulation/dp/B0093162RM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid;=1379972361&sr;=8-2&key;words=philips+light+alarm+clock). Hope that helps!

You can use it without a smartphone, you can sync it to your computer. Without it the only problem is after 12:00am it goes to the next day so you won't be able to see your steps for the past day, it will say 0 steps

Sorry don't know the answer to either. Their app does add features that aren't availible on clock without the app. HOWEVER. if u plan on updating your phone to a 5 or 5s I don't think an adapter will support the phone. Also u can't set the clock without the phone/iPod. And clock DOES NOT keep good time unless synced every night. Clock gains about 3-5min a month. Other than that. It's a nice clock. But wait for one with a lightning adapter.

I don't see that it shows the time. However, the display times out and the display size is tiny, so it would be difficult to use even it does display time.
