Customer Reviews

Portable, functional...LOUD!
Like another reviewer, I had the previous incarnation of this clock and loved it. Unfortunately my husband accidentally killed it one morning. (Guess he didn't want to get up for work.) Apparently the old model is no longer available, so I ordered this one. It was the only battery operated, analog clock I could find that also has a snooze bar-activated light. That was my main criterion, since I like the room totally dark when I'm sleeping but also want to be able to check the time if necessary.

My only complaint about this clock is the loudness and shrillness of the alarm. It's a high-pitched electronic beep, with alternating tones that get progressively louder if you ignore it. (Not that I could ignore it if I wanted to.) I ended up putting a piece of tape over the speaker on the back of the unit, and now it's tolerable.

If you sleep through quieter alarms, then this could be the perfect clock for you. But if you're a light sleeper and sudden, loud noises make you jump out of your skin, try the tape method or try another clock.

Seiko Alarm Clock
The clock was larger than I expected and the back of the clock is grey plastic...very cheap-looking. I knew instantly that I would be returning the item. I ended up with a loss of $10. on a $37. item; I had to pay the return shipping and a re-stocking fee. I will not be ordering anything from Amazon in the near future unless I have seen the item first-hand before ordering. The re-stocking fee I felt was unfair.

Wakes you up - always!
This is the second one that I have purchased after 10 years. It's attractive and the alarm is really loud.
