Well, does that mean the clock is accessible with speech? Or does it just
mean that one can memorize the sequence of key strokes to set the clock?
Once you set it, can you use it to check the time or set other time-related
functions?

Also, try the DX-370 or 390.  The 37doesn't have direct entry or SSB, and
the clock is hard to set, but I have just left it a lonewith the 370 and
390.  The 390 has both dirrect entry and SSB, and the clock seems easy to
set, but again I don't mess around with it because there is just no need
to.
