Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
A clock radio suited to your precise tastes, the Timex T625B triple-alarm CD clock radio lets you listen to your favorite CDs and radio stations or a selection of stereo nature sounds: ocean surf, rushing brook, forest spring, and wind chimes. The clock's sleek design sports a hidden control panel where you can access important features like the clock's unique, 1-touch alarm settings, which can accommodate 7-, 5-, or 2-days-a-week scheduling. Its 3 distinct alarms permit individual wake times and alarm sounds so you and a partner can wake to your choice of: 1) radio, 2) nature sounds, or 3) either CD or beeping. (No two alarms may be of the same type.)
Just plug it in and the clock will set itself, drawing on its factory-installed 100-year calendar (year/month/day, 2000 to 2099). The clock will even self-adjust for Daylight Savings time. Like to snooze? Then you'll like the clock's large, easy-to-find snooze bar.
The T625B provides convenient 1-touch radio tuning, with 18 presets: 12 for FM and 6 for AM stations. The tuner always remembers the last station selected before the radio was switched off. Fall asleep to your choice of a favorite station or any of the unit's 4 nature sounds using the unit's programmable sleep timer (15 to 90 minutes). If you play a CD at bedtime, the unit will stop when the CD is finished.
A 4-line, backlit LCD features a 3-position brightness control and a wealth of status indicators, everything from alarm settings and alarm modes to CD playback mode, bass-boost on/off, and play/pause status.
The clock also comes with Sure Alarm battery backup--just install 3 AA batteries (not included) to activate the feature. In the event of a power failure, or if you disconnect the AC power cord to move the clock, the Sure Alarm system will maintain your clock and alarm settings for the life of the batteries, ensuring that the alarms will sound at the set time (while operating on battery power, the alarms will sound only as buzzer).
What's in the Box
Clock, FM wire antenna, and a user's manual with warranty information.

It does what I want.,
By LeeAway "leeaway" (Manteno, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Timex T625B Auto-Set Triple-Alarm CD Clock Radio with Nature Sounds (Black) (Electronics)
I agree with what Orion said in his review.
I spent way too much time looking for a clock radio. I had whittled down my list to the following: -dependable time (atomic clock or very good battery backup), -sleep function for radio, -timer for radio turing on, -good reception, -fairly good sound from either it's own speakers, or through some spare computer speakers of mine attched by mini-jack, -radio presets, -inexpensive. After buying and returning three other clock radios, I bought this one. Each of the first two had decent reception, but they had poor speakers and no headphone jack. The next one had features I liked very much, and even had a headphone jack, but its reception was lousy. I am very happy with this clock-radio-cd player. This clock radio has one of those wire antennae. I tacked it to the wall and it works great. I live a ways out of Chicago, so to pick up my favorite Chicago fm radio stations, I need good reception (I don't know about am reception - it depends on the sky, I guess. I have picked up WSM, but not well or often.) The speakers are so-so, but I plugged in my computer speakers for some pretty nice sound. (Don't expect miracles in audio performance, but it was acceptable.) The foot print is great for my crowded nightstand. If you also have a limited amount of nightstand space, the radio is about 8 3/4 inches high, 7 1/2 inches deep, and 4 3/4 inches wide. These measurements are approximate and are taken at the widest places - this is a curvy box. The CD player is on the side of the box as shown in the picture. The hinge is to the back, so the door swings open from front to back. Other features I like: -big snooze button on front top of radio -presets!! (It is annoying not to have a few presets - this has 12 fm and 6 am presets.) -repeat, random, and repeat/random cd modes (not fond of random personally but love repeat) -time displayed in about 7/8" tall bold numbers -off button has a groove so it feels different from the other buttons -date or radio station or cd track displayed bottom right of time -a battery low indicator is supposed to show if the battery backup charge is low -easy to read manual One drawback is that the CD and Buzzer alarm share the same setting. If you set that alarm, (there are two other alarms, one for radio and another one for nature sounds) then at the appointed time either the buzzer will sound or the CD will play, depending on whether there is a CD in the box. This does not interfere with my use of the box. I can't attest to the nature sounds, I'm not, in general, fond of that sort of thing. I do not use that feature. I am very pleased with this box. I had hoped to find the features I wanted in a less expensive package, but this meets my needs, plus it has a CD player.

You can't go wrong with this one,
By Orion (NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Timex T625B Auto-Set Triple-Alarm CD Clock Radio with Nature Sounds (Black) (Electronics)
I really like this alarm cd clock radio from Timex. It has a cool / funky design, a lot of features, and works flawlessly. The negative color display screen I think is a really nice touch (white numbers on black). It has three brightness levels which I think will satisfy most people based on how bright or dim they like their screen. The automatic date / time setting is great. I live in the eastern time zone so I didn't have to change a thing. It came all setup right out of the box. If you dont live in the eastern time zone it is very easy to change. This is a great feature. Another great thing about this alarm radio is the fact that you can choose between different types of alarms. Meaning you can have the alarm only go off during the week, and not the weekend, or just the weeekend, or everyday. This is great I think. My old radio would always go off during the weekend b/c I would always forget to shut off the alarm. Now I dont have to worry about that. The nature sounds are good. Not fantastic but more than serve the purpose. The "brook" nature sound really relaxes me at night. The CD player is easy to operate, and the sound is good. Don't expect surround sound or it to sound like a home theatre system, after all its an alarm clock. All in all I'm really sastified with this unit, and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants an alarm clock that has all the bells and whistles in a unique, attractive, & slim package.

Great NEW DESIGN from previous Timex alarm clocks,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Timex T625B Auto-Set Triple-Alarm CD Clock Radio with Nature Sounds (Black) (Electronics)
I have owned Timex alarm clocks for my past 2 clocks, and I love them. This one is no exception.
I purchased the BLACK one, but they also offer it in "titanium" (silver). This is the MOST CURRENT MODEL - [...]- and has the most features. (Trust me, I checked!) It is also the EXACT SAME PRICE as the older models ($69.99) - I checked online and in stores to confirm this. If you see this model for less expensive, make SURE it is the same clock - some sites said it was this model, but the picture was NOT this clock. Amazon.com does NOT have a picture, but it IS the right clock. The small footprint saves a LOT of space on my nightstand - my older model was just a bit too big. It is easier than ever to set up - it actually set the time by itself as soon as I put the batteries in! Very nice, and a HUGE time saver. It is much more accurate than my other models (my older models used to gain a LOT of time and I would have to re-set them periodically - I don't have to do that with this clock!). It does NOT set to the atomic clock, but I don't require that feature - just as long as I get to work on time. (Clocks that set to the atomic clock are either more expensive, or have a LOT less features than this clock does. I prefer the extra features of this machine.) The "hidden" panel is a smart feature - you CANNOT accidentally change your settings in the heat of (repeatedly) hitting the snooze button. The white on black screen is much nicer than the Indiglo background of my older model - easier to see in the night, and it does NOT blind me! I have it set on the dimmest setting, and you can see it very clearly in the daytime, too. The nature sounds are nicer than my older model - they sound more realistic and less "tinny". Which brings me to the "extended bass" feature ... VERY NICE! Maybe not as rich as a Bose, but for the price I can not only live with it, but appreciate how far speakers in a clock radio have come. There are 3 different options for the alarms (which is why I bought a Timex 2 times ago) - CD or buzzer, Nature Sounds, Radio. I stagger the alarms so I can wake up a little less frazzled. The CD loads on the side, and it clicks to lock it in - nice! This model has a LOT more pre-set buttons for the radio - 12 for FM, 6 for AM ... YAY! This is an upgrade from my old model that is VERY appreciated. The radio is easy to tune, and gets much better reception than the older model (with just a simple wire to deal with, instead of a clunky plastic "loop" like older models). I like the blue light that turns on when one of the features is being used - it is a tad bright, but it looks very nice against the black front, and it reminds me the unit is in use - sometimes I used to forget to turn off the CD player (on my old model) and now I don't forget. [NEW: since using this item for more than 3 months now, I have painted over the blue light. It is REALLY bright in the darker morning hours. I left the edges unpainted, and that is just enough light to remind me the CD is still on. I used regular acrylic paint from my local art store - I actually used FolkArt Metallic Black - it has little silver sparkles in it that matches the rest of the machine. Use a small brush and wait for each layer to dry in between layers - I did 3 total layers. It looks perfect!] The ONLY thing I wish was that the side without the CD player would have been made solid black to match the machine better - instead it is silver and has the "CD" logo on it in black letters. It's OK, but aesthetically I would have preferred a black panel with silver lettering. (Hey, I'm a girl and I think of these things!) Overall I am VERY pleased with this machine. Thanks, Timex!
