Customer Reviews

This appears to be a totally decent old-fashioned alarm clock. I've had it as an occasional-use backup for the last six or seven weeks.
Some characteristics:
The single alarm is loud. Damn loud. Not to fire-alarm levels, but I wouldn't expect a sleeping partner to ignore it.
The alarm is set by a twist dial on the back. There are two dials; the other one sets the time. You have to be careful which you grab.
There's no snooze capacity here. The alarm is either activated or not, as set by a small switch on the back.
It ticks audibly. I sleep with earplugs so I don't care. If your sheep can't stand a fixed rhythm, you won't like this.
There's a small button on the back to activate a side light. The face is otherwise invisible in the dark.
It appears to hold time. The first few days I used it, it seemed to lose time, but it's been steady for the last month.
It really is a pretty clock, especially for the $8 WM wanted for it.
The only question mark for me is the battery wear rate. This clock uses a single AA rather than a proper AC adapter. I've erred on the side of caution with a 1.5V Alkaline rather than the usual 1.2V Eneloop. I'll update when it gives out and add back a star if the clock turns out to be reliable in the long run.

Although this clock has a good classical looking, it's detail is rather rogh and the ticking sound is terribly loud. This sound irritates me even at the day time. You can hardly sleep if this clock is settled on your bedside.
