Westclox LCD Digital Bedside Alarm Clock with White Backlit Display and Snooze Function Battery Operated Black 3-Inch

My sister gave me this clock for my 16th birthday. Twenty years later, it finally stopped working. I think I may have only changed the batteries 3 times. I have been through many other clocks during the time I have had this clock, and this clock remains my favorite. Small, travels easily, reliable. The alarm is perfect: loud enough to wake me up, not so loud that it scares me. I also enjoy the small light used to view the time in the dark. Many times I have used the light from the clock as a flashlight. Buy this clock, you will not regret it! 7/16/12 - Update. I received my new clock and was disappointed by two things: 1) The colon between the hours and the minutes blinks. I have a feeling this will drive me crazy if I am in the same room with the clock and see it blinking out of the corner of my eye. 2) The alarm is much louder and not as gentle. I really, really liked my clock from 1992 because of the soft, but effective alarm. Here's some great news, though: for some reason, I decided to try putting batteries into the old clock and it works again! I don't know why it seemed to stop working before, but I'm hoping that the 1992 clock continues to work. I'll rest easier knowing that I have a back-up! Read more

Westclox Celebrity Glo-Clox I love this little alarm clock. I'm not sure why they have it labeled as a kitchen clock. It's the perfect size for a travel, alarm clock. Since it's battery operated, I can move it around freely and don't have to keep it close to an outlet to plug it in. I even bring it in my bed with me. It doesn't fold up for travel, but it tucks into a suitcase or bag nicely. I think it's more durable because it doesn't fold up. I've had a couple folding travel ones that had parts break off in the past. This one uses regular AAA batteries, usually always have some of those around. I don't like to mess with having to find a specific type of those little button batteries. Plus the AAA's I use are rechargeable. I'm still on my first set. The white color makes it show up well, so it's pretty easy to find when it gets mixed up with the blankets and pillows. It's a basic uncomplicated design. Easy to change the alarm settings if you don't get up at the same time every day. I have some that are too complicated to mess with changing them all the time. Snooze alarm works good. It only lights up when you push the button, so not good as a night light. I looked around locally at several stores and could not find a comparable one. I've only had this one a few months so far, but I've had a similar Westclox one that lasted many years. I hope this one does too. Read more

Very good clock. Not perfect, but would absolutely recommend it to friend or family. You do have to push a jlarge CLUNKY button to turn on the light, the buttons and the button labels are a bit too small and it was a pain in the cajones to get it out of the package (just use scissors or knife to carefully cut it from the package. I think those 2 long screws are permanent! Overall, more than good enough for me because: readable, pretty quickly set, loud enough to wake me but not give me a frigging heart attack, and perhaps most important, reliable. Read more

This is the second Westclox I have purchased, and, so far, so good. The first clock lasted for many many years. After I ordered the new Westclox, initially there was a problem with delivery. When Amazon asked how I liked the product, I realized that they thought I had it, but, in fact, I had not yet received it. Their records showed that it had been delivered, but it had not. This was cleared up with little difficulty and the clock was sent to me. I am appreciative and happy to have my new clock. Read more

I had this alarm clock for years, and it never stopped working. It actually went missing when I lost a bag during a flight in 2017. So when I needed to get another alarm clock (let's be honest, as useful as phone alarms are, they just aren't the same), I scoured Amazon until I found someone selling this exact model. And I couldn't be happier! It's incredibly straight forward and easy to use, the numbers are big and clear, and the snooze/light button perfectly illuminates the time without being too jarring to tired eyes. I honestly have no complaints about this alarm clock, it's lightweight and easy to use, and I hope they never stop making it. It takes two AAA batteries that don't come included, but it's not a big deal to me for this price. The batteries last a long time. I think the thing I like the most (and some people may dislike) is that when the alarm goes off, the snooze button will continue to snooze the alarm as many times as you want to, making it so you can't accidentally turn the alarm off in your sleep and wake up late for work (a problem I often have relying on my phone to wake me up). With this clock, you have to flick the alarm off with the switch to make it stop. I can see this being an issue if you forget to turn it back on again, but I find it easy to flick the switch off and on when I turn the alarm off. I much prefer that than my phone alarm, which will stop going off after I've pressed snooze a couple times. If you're like me in that you're not a morning person and have trouble waking up, and need something portable and persistent that won't let you down, then this little alarm clock is perfect for you too.
