3.0 out of 5 stars Decent clock, but not great nature sounds, September 28, 2002

I really like the convenience of having multiple alarm settings on this clock; it's handy for weekdays and weekends, or just random days when I need to get up at different times. The clock is also smart enough to set itself to go off only on weekdays, weekends, or every single day at the push of a button.

The nature sounds are, unsurprisingly, pretty tinny sounding and not terribly pleasant to try to fall asleep to. Waking up to them isn't bad, though. The beeping alarm is a pleasant beep, not something that'll yank you headlong out of your slumber, and the weather information is a very nice way to wake up, too, so you can know what to expect from the day.

Its compact size fits just about anywhere, and the large time display is easy to read, day or night.

If you're looking for a soothing sound machine, this may not be quite the right beast for you, but if you're looking for a hugely versatile alarm clock, this is it.

2.0 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for, October 8, 2002

By A Customer

No radio, nature sounds may be good, but sound horrible through the .5" speaker in the unit. There is no indication that the alarm is set by glancing at the display. I guess it keeps time ok, but it would be worth paying more for something better. This doesn't cut it even for minimal use.

The "buzzer" on this alarm clock sounds more like a wristwatch alarm. I don't know about anyone else, but that's not going to wake me up in the morning. I'll be returning it.
