Can it be set to show the clock continuously, without having to push a button?

I have not found a way to do that, that is definitely one annoying thing about this radio.

Yes it does. You set it easily with the buttons - It does not seem to keep the time and date for any length of time if it does not have constant power.

I believe there is a clock, but it does not display in standby, which is odd. In fact, you have to press a button to display the clock, so I rarely saw it or utilized it.

it has a timer but not for time display. It is only for showing functions and temperature status.

There is not an "off" button for when it is not in use - the clock still runs. BUT since the device only uses 1 battery, it would be very easy to remove it when it's not being used for time tracking purposes. I've had this running every day since I bought it a few months ago and still have not had to replace the battery. I use it approx. 5 days per week.

No. You can only use it as a timer. If set on 0000 - it will count up. If set for 0500 - it will count down to 0. It is not a clock - it is just a timer.

No, since there is no clock. It's only a timer, then switching to warm when done.

No, it does not have a clock so it cannot be set to certain times. It can only be set to go off at intervals, such as every minute or every five minutes.

Yes, you can get it to display the time constantly simply by holding in the "Menu" button (top row, far right button) from any screen.Yes, you can actually use it as a type of clock radio, by having it play music at a set time.The screen backlight is adjustable for duration, but only up to 30 seconds maximum.I don't see why you would want it to stay on constantly, though, because I'm pretty sure that you'd deplete the battery completely over a normal eight hour night's sleep, making the alarm function unusable.You can get the screen backlight to come on simply by touching and quickly releasing any button if you need to see the time, though.

Yes, you can set it to turn off after 30 minutes by pushing the button with a picture of a clock. Or set it to play until you turn it off.

You can check the time randomly by pressing a button. Unfortunately my mother frequently presses the wrong button that engages either the alarm or the hourly announcements. We still like the clock but I frequently have to stop the announcements or alarm. Easy to do when you can see but not easy for the blind. There is no date option.

You cannot disable the display. You can only control the brightness which will still show the time. It can get really dim, but I'm not sure if that would be dark enough for you.

It does not show the time display all the time. You have to push the button a few times to rotate to the clock display.

Sounds like you're looking for a "countdown timer" which has a spring loaded dial you would twist to the time you want it to stay on for. This constantly repeats a cycle for how it's set.

No, my clock is only displayed when the key is on. In settings you can select to display clock or selections

This one has the soft push button, so it would probably not work with a timer.
