Customer Reviews

Buy a sundial instead.

Review by Old enough to know better, 2010-08-24

I'm going to keep this short. This alarm clock loses about a hour in a week. You'd be better off with a sundial. If you would really like one of these, don't buy it from Amazon - look in the dumpster behind my office.

Great little alarm clock

Review by H. Lyons, 2010-08-19

Well, we've had this clock for years. My husband deployed with it twice and it's never let him down. He brings it whenever we go on a trip or stay in hotels and he uses it five days out of the week. He is a bit obsessive about making sure the alarm is set correctly and that he wakes up on time. As far as I know, it's never been an issue. Our daughter had one that did break but she seems to have a knack for doing that to electronics.

Things I Don't Like:

-Numbers not lit up - although, I'm not really sure that's a negative
-The buttons to set the alarm are pretty small and you have to push on them hard.

Things I Like:
-It folds up.
-Small footprint
-Always wakes you up when it's supposed to (providing you know how to set the alarm correctly)
-Doesn't automatically set the time for you
-It has a snooze button.
-There is a button on it that you can hold down to light up the readout if you need to see what time it is during the night.

Great travel clock!

Review by G. Fultz, 2009-12-09

This is a great portable travel clock, I travel for a living and was looking for a travel alarm clock RADIO and this is the ONLY one I found. I am in Europe and Asia often and I like to listen to local music in my hotel rooms. Sometimes the reception is iffy and I suggest using the BuZZ function for your alarm. The batteries last long in this but watch out for the battery 'door' which can sometimes come off in your bag. I 've taped mine on the back but as I said I travel a whole Heck of a lot and use it every time. Overall I like the price for the quality and would recommend it over one without a radio. I've even requested another for Christmas as I know I'll wear it out or lose it someday and that way, I'll have another one ready to go!

Poorly lit

Review by Vicki L. Gress, 2009-09-07

I have a previous version of this Timex travel alarm clock (sans radio) and loved it. This one I'm not so keen about. The drawbacks to me are 1) the light and (2) the on/off switch. The good part about the light is that it stays off unless you manually press a button to turn it on, and it turns off when you release the button. The problem is that the light is a blaring amber light that really does nothing to help you see the time. It basically just creates a blur. The light doesn't come from behind the digital number display, it's more like a mini-beacon that shines onto the numbers--very ineffective for anything except a mini-flashlight. Would have been much better to have been back-lit in a nice blue. The second big problem for me is the switch that makes the alarm shut off--it's on the side of the left side panel of the bottom portion of the clock--very difficult to find when you're trying to get the danged alarm to shut off. It's the same button that turns on the radio. Speaking of radio, you get what you would expect--a radio without decent sound. In this day and age of excellent sound, it's almost too annoying to listen to, except in a dire emergency. The dial doesns't seem to pick up many stations.

Works OK, but only for occasional use.

Review by lighten_up_already2, 2009-08-14

If I was seriously travelling on business I'd get something a little higher end. The radio works rather well on the strongest local stations, but there is no function that lets you go to sleep listening to the radio. No "sleep switch" that a lot of clock radios have. The radio is listenable, but I'd never want to listen to it for more than an hour or so.

The way this has messed up for me is that if you set "time set" switch to "alarm", and then set the alarm time using the hour and minute buttons, and then forget to move the time set switch back to the middle between time set and hour set, the alarm will not go off. I slept through alarms a few times before I figured that out. Wouldn't want to mess this up on a business trip.

Also, the minute button is starting to not work and it's getting harder to set the time because I have to push the minute button so much.

So, I'd only recommend it for "travel" within your own house, like when your spouse is wheezing, snoring, or coughing all night and you want to sleep in another room, and you don't have anything really important you need to be there for early the next morning.
