4.0 out of 5 stars Quite a Nice Alarm Clock, July 25, 2010

This is a great clock. The several others I purchased and returned before I ordered this one had a display so bright it was like having a night light sitting on the nightstand. This display is lit only when you press the button on top and then only for a few seconds - a second or two longer would be good but it's ok the way it is. Its features all work great: the solar power, setting itself from the atomic clock, and the date, time and temperature display. I have three complaints: pressing the button on top to turn on the indiglo night light to view the display makes a fairly loud click noise, one cannot choose to leave the indiglo light on (as one could on previous models of Timex alarm clocks), and the switch to turn the alarm on and off is not convenient.

4.0 out of 5 stars bulky but low maintenance, December 10, 2009

I bought this because I wanted a small, maintenance-free alarm clock. It's not as small as I'd like (it's about the size of two VHS tapes). It claims to be solar powered but it comes with a CR123A lithium "back-up" battery. The manual reads, "This battery should provide a back up power supply to your clock for up to 8 years or even longer." I haven't had it long so I can't verify that claim.

It does set the time automatically, which is cool.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good bedside clock, September 12, 2010

I was looking for a bedside clock without a bright colored number display, and this clock is great. There is a large button on top that you push to activate an amber light so you can see the time in a dark room. The button is easy to get to in a sleepy state. The solar/battery power is also convenient, eliminating another cord to plug in. My only complaint is that when the amber light is activated, the numbers are difficult to see if the clock is at an angle above your face... I have to tip the clock towards me to read it clearly.
