This review is from: Timex T245S Auto Set Dual Alarm Clock AM/FM Radio with Programmable Snooze & Large LED Display - Sleek Innovative Design (Electronics)

I have been searching for the right alarm clock since my P'Jammer broke in the '90s. I have issues with the blue or yellow displays because the brightness keeps me awake and I have to lay a sock over the clock. I also have a tendency to hit snooze over and over again in my sleep, so I never get up on time. Also, if the "snooze" and "alarm off" buttons are too close together, I'll hit "alarm off" and go right back to sleep. Sometimes I'll reset the alarm time with the intention of sleeping a little bit later, but again, I try to do this when I'm only partly awake and I never get it right, so I don't get up on time. Finally, a clock that solves all of these issues!! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!

Pros: 1. Red display, so it doesn't light up my room like the blue or yellow displays. Why are red displays so hard to find? 2. Adjustable time for "snooze." You can set the snooze to go off ever minute if thats what it takes to get you up. 3. Small and doesn't take up a lot of space on the nightstand. 4. Automatic time set with adjustment for Daylight Savings. No more AM/PM mixups!

Cons: Although I actually consider this a "pro" because I can't try to reset the alarm time in my sleep, others might find it to be a "con" that the clock features/settings are NOT self-explanatory like most clocks. Its actually difficult to set the alarm, adjust the snooze time, etc. Definitely not something you can do in your sleep. You might even need to read the instruction manual.
