5.0 out of 5 stars A nicely designed CD-radio alarm clock!, August 28, 2008

By	Jeff - See all my reviews

I was looking for a stylish CD-radio alarm clock and this new Timex model fit the bill. Unlike most alarm clocks today that look like spaceships designed by rappers, this clock is sophisticated in appearance with an appealing orange colored light that illuminates the time and date, and beyond the sturdy plastic shell contains actual brushed stainless steel as part of its design adding to its 21st century aesthetics without looking cheap. The clock is also compact and easily fits on your night table without looking cumbersome. The sound quality is more than adequate, but don't expect Boise speaker quality, just smooth and precise enough to leisurely listen to in your bedroom while getting ready for work; the CD player works equally as well, although the nature sounds I find useless (although our 17 month old daughter Julia enjoys the sounds of the beach and birds). All in all, it's a keeper.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS CLOCK!, November 23, 2008

By	C. Eiswert (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have never been "attached" to a clock radio before. This is a GREAT purchase. It has one of my favorite features EVER on a clock and that is the ability to turn the display light intensity down and even OFF. For those of us sensitive to light while sleeping it is a godsend. Plus the additional features of MP3 playback, CDs and white noise. It is wonderful. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a new clock radio alarm.

2.0 out of 5 stars Some good points, but more bad ones, April 30, 2009

By	B. Sloane "dotalbon" (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Good points:

1. Large display is very easy to read. Backlight is dimmable.

2. Reasonably priced.

Bad points:

1. Weirdly shaped: very large in front (where the CD is inserted) and smaller at the back, so the unit seems larger than it really is. Nice for reading the display, but it looked crowded on my smallish bedside table.

2. Impossible to program a CD track selection as a wakeup option; Track 1 will play every time. To get variety, you have to switch CD's. That's just poor design.

3. There are a couple of nature sounds available as a wakeup option, but there is no "white noise" setting to aid in falling asleep.

4. Despite the claims of good FM reception, I was unable to get even one FM station to come in clearly (the unit sat next to a window), and even the local AM stations had static.

I lived with drawbacks 1-4 for a week before giving up and returning the unit. It's just not very well made.
