The digital LCD screen displays time, month, date, alarm, and other programmed features over a soft amber backlight.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice, but..., August 30, 2001

This review is from: Timex T601G Nature Sounds Clock Radio (Stereo CD Player,Digital Tuning,AM/FM Radio) (Electronics)

It was everything we could have wanted and we really did love it, but 1)yes, there are 3 alarms: one for CD, one for Radio and one for nature sounds. That's it. You can't switch them around... Can't have two for the CD or anything. 2) the CD starts with the first track no matter what.

2.0 out of 5 stars There are better choices....., September 15, 2001

Too complicated for its own good. I would not recommend this product for an elderly relative that has trouble seeing or using electronic devices with small buttons. It is one of those types of items that you must hold down "Button A" while pressing "Button B" two times and afterwards pressing "Button C" three times just to set the alarm. Sound is typical for a clock radio (one should not expect the sound of a Bose based on the price). The backlit display for time, etc. is easy to read and not harsh on the eyes in a dark bedroom, which is one plus.

Overall, after owning this product for a bit, I have to use the words of a leading consumer magazine to sum it up...."There are better choices."

1.0 out of 5 stars DON'T BUY THIS!!!, May 6, 2002

I bought this clock because I am a very light sleeper and most alarm clocks scare me awake. To start, the nature sounds are not realistic and they run on a very short loop. Second, I saw the name "timex" and assumed that I was buying a quality product. One day, about 8 months after I bought the clock, I woke up to a screeching sound that wouldn't stop (like fingernails across a chalkboard). I called timex and was told that they did not manufacture this clock and that I needed to call a different company. At this other company, I got no help (the measly 90-day warranty had passed), so I exchanged it at [a local store] for another one (thank goodness I had my receipt) for another one hoping that I got a good one this time. Sorry, no luck that time either: almost a year later, the same thing happened again and I ended up chucking this ... in the trash. Please don't put yourself through the trouble of buying this product.
