I was looking for a alarm clock that didn't emit light at night. Unfortunately, the second hand on this clock ticks, making it a poor choice if you're going to sleep too close to it. Drove me crazy so I had to return it.
The styling is cool and it is SO fast to set an analog clock, but I owned the old one and it was better. The new LED light really isn't bright enough to wake me up, where the old incandescent was. Also, the snooze turns into 15 minutes if the light doesn't wake you - too long for me. The old one would start blinking in 5 and ring the bell in 10. Loved that. Wish my old one didn't stop working.
On the plus side, in this new version the bell, which was "give me a heart attack" loud in the old version has two volume settings in this version and both are more tolerable. Still not sure if I'll even keep it.
