I Love & Hate this clock! Be wary of the alarm shut off!
This clock compared to my 20 year old Sony is like a command center for NASA. From sleek design and touch buttons, it's definitely an upgrade.
Here is my list of likes and dislikes on this clock and they are compared to a 20 year old version so try not to laugh at me….
Likes:
* The sunrise feature really does work! This is the best thing about this clock. It's a more natural awake and I am far less crabby these last two weeks of use
* The lighting options are awesome
* The alarm sounds are very soothing
* The push buttons are very reactive
* The time is easily set both forward and backward
* The Snooze button is prominent above the others on top
* On weekends, I'm able to shut off the LED into pure darkness and watch TV snuggled in my bed!
Dislikes:
* There are a lot of buttons on this clock and does take some getting used to in the beginning
*No daylight savings shortcut setting
* You cannot set the alarm by days
* It is EXTREMELY easy to accidentally shut off this clock, the snooze button will snooze the alarm, but you need to ensure you don’t hit any of the other top buttons near it when you do it. (For instance, if you turn off the LED display before bed and then in the morning while in alarm mode, turn it back on to see what time it actually is, it will turn off the ALARM! I would love to dim the LED to blank everyday before bed, but I have to be mindful if I turn it back on in the morning.
Overall, it's a an awesome clock and I find that it does naturally wake me more than the other one I have, I barely hit the snooze button now, but because of the alarm shut off with any button, I do set my other alarm as a back up for now until I break this one in more and get more disciplined.
Let me know if I can answer any questions about this clock, happy to help!
