This is actually better than my parent's alarm clock, since you had to set and wind it every night. This must of have been the deluxe model. I needed a clock I could see in the dark without my glasses. The lighted analog dial is just what I needed. It sure beats fuzzy digital numbers. Did I mention it looks great during the day too! Great retro color and look.
This clock is sleek and oh so retro. It comes with good directions that are easy to follow. Good alarm and snooze feature. The dial is easy to read at night with the lighted dial feature. Having the backup battery feature for a power outage is essential since the clock is plug in.
I've been using this clock for one week now, and love it. If I needed another clock, I'd get another one of these. It's extremely simple to use (setting alarm time, etc.), and the flashing-light aspect of the alarm is awesome! I love the option of waking up to a light rather than an abrupt, piercing sound--- and appreciate the easy snooze button, and dim back light.
