I had a clock just like this that I got from IKEA years ago so when it finally quit working, I was sad to think I was not going to have my beautiful clock anymore. And then I saw it on Amazon! Exact same clock, exact same color. It arrived in a timely manner, thank goodness. It has a standard alarm which I never use but it’s nice and loud. It has a soft light that you can click on with a button on the back. I wish it were possible to keep the soft light on at all times but you can’t. You have to hold the button down to use the light. The size is perfect for a desktop or night stand though. Plus it’s super easy to use. Came with instructions but I don’t think they’re necessary. Read more
This little guy keeps great time and let's you know when it is time to wake up. The alarm is loud enough to wake me up while not letting the neighbors know I am waking up. I use it to wake up at the same time each weekday and since it always goes off at the same time, I know it is keeping the correct time. I've had it a couple months and it is still going strong without a battery change. The best thing is that it is battery powered so it will keep on working during a power outage. Read more
vintage feel. I like the plain look. Even though it seems cheap and has a lot of plastic parts, I've knocked this thing around more than a few times and it still works fine. Normal ticking is not too loud, and the alarm bell is plenty loud. Very satisfied. Read more
The media could not be loaded. Not as nice as I was expecting. I thought quartz meant it would have a silent sweep motion. The tick is pretty quiet (you can barely hear it in this video) but it’s just enough that if I couldn’t sleep and the house was silent my ears would zero right in on it and stay there. Otherwise, works as advertised. Read more
I am a heavy sleeper, yet this little alarm clock wakes me every day. And it is the perfect size and color (sage green) to match my bedroom decor. Most importantly, does not have sound of ticking to keep you awake. Controls very easy to set. I love it, good value for the price. Read more
When the iphone alarm isn't cutting it anymore.. this is so loud. If you put it somewhere that you have to get out of bed to turn it off, you will not be falling back asleep. Read more
The media could not be loaded. Was good at first but within less than 2 months it’s already broken. The second ticker literally completely fell off somehow and is just sitting inside the glass area. The bell doesn’t even barely ring anymore, definitely not enough to wake someone up. Read more
This clock functions, but isn't the quality you'd expect from a company that has been making clocks for decades. I was using this as a desk clock so I could keep track of the time when running full-screen applications on my computer, for where the computer's clock wouldn't be visible. There were some mistakes with this clock that made me decide to return it, but it worked well for the three weeks I had it for (and did not break or anything). ---= What I liked about it =--- - Ticking noise; I'm a weirdo who actually likes when clocks tick, and this has one has a pretty sound as far as clocks go to my untrained ear. - In the 3 weeks I had the clock, it stayed perfectly in sync with the time I had set it (I manually had it synced with my computer's clock) - Beautiful design; I'm a huge fan of the font and the design of the hands. The reason I bought this was actually because of its pretty shape. The chrome design didn't harshly reflect the lights behind my monitor either, which would probably help to prevent the sun from harshly reflecting into one's eyes. (Not sure whether going blind or using a rat as an alarm clock instead would be worse; If you know, you know, but thankfully that's not a concern here). ---= Things I disliked about it, and ultimately why I returned it. =--- - The second hand is misaligned with the dashes (including where the minute turns over) - The alarm function goes off approximately 6-8 minutes after the time it is set to go off. - Setting the alarm with the knob will result in the time shifting slightly, and vice-versa. ---= Additional notes =--- - This clock has a button (not a touch like it describes on the box, which I'm kind of thankful for), that when held will light up the clock with a small bulb in the corner. The light turns off when the button is no longer being pushed. - The clock has a faint glow in the dark feature to its hands. - Neither of these were relevant to me, as I wasn't using this as a bedtime clock, but I'm sure this info could help someone. I'm very picky when it comes to clocks, so if little flaws like these are okay with you, go for it. It's a really pretty twin bell clock. Read more
