Several years later, and I no longer own this alarm clock. I'm going to have to dock a star for quality. After replacing two of these, I ended up just using my phone as an alarm for long enough that I never bothered to replace this alarm. I still haven't found a good alarm. The small annoyances I mentioned ended up bothering me enough that I started looking for another alarm, and never found anything much better. The most annoying quality is how the feet of the alarm clock end up not being stable enough to keep it from tipping over, which always ends up knocking it over when you pick it up twice daily to set the alarm and disable the alarm. Which breaks the cheap internal gears after enough time. The second alarm didn't even last a year. Either that, or the few times I adjust the alarm timer is enough to break the gears. Either way, the durability just isn't there. I'm okay with cheap products with major flaws, but once you have to replace it every year, it stops becoming cheap. Plus, having to remember to turn on my alarm is a major problem when I'm tempted to sleep in on the weekends. Sleep hygiene only works when you do it consistently, and the temptation to just not set your alarm is far too great for me to use this alarm clock anymore. Original review left unedited below. If I was going to write a proper review for this clock, it would read like a long list of large and small complaints, followed by a glowing reccomendation that everyone on the planet needs on of these. The long version is, this is the first alarm clock I've used in a decade that is loud enough to wake me up consistently, without being so obnoxious that I wake up in a bad mood. For the first time in over 2 years, I've started waking up at the same time every day before my alarm. I cannot possibly overstate how important and benificial this has been on my mood, my productivity, and my physical health. This may be the most benificial purchase I've made in the last decade. Seriously. Personal benifits aside, this alarm clock is quite pretty, and the alarm is a nice mix of ear splittingly loud with a pleasant authentic real ringing that doesn't have the same bad feeling as other electronic clocks. Overall: pretty good. Now, for the "negatives". The alarm clock only has a 12 hour mode, which means you have to turn it off in the morning and back on before you go to bed. It's tedious. The alarm is only accurate up to 5 minutes, which means you can't wake up at a specific time, and adjusting the alarm involves a unhealthy amount of turning one of the two small gears on the back. I call those things "negatives", because each one subtly forces you into a better sleep routine. The difficulty of changing the alarm incentivises you to wake up at the same time, which is one of the most impactful and benificial things for your personal and mental health. Having to turn on and off the alarm every day has made me more consistent in my before and after bed routine, which has improved my sleep hygene (it's a thing, look it up). And the innacuracy of the alarm has made me get up earlier, which helps me have more relaxed mornings. It's like the designers knew how to break all my bad sleep habits by designing the most limiting product ever. I love this thing. Everyone needs one.

This was the perfect "tick tock" clock for my daughter. Love that it has the easy to use switches and light on the back! It has a relatively quiet murmur as it turns. Not disruptive to the normal day or night though. It's the exact look we were going for!

Except for one loose button on the back, which functions for now. It is very loud. I can hear it with noise-cancelling headphones on! I tried three clocks before I found this one! I am so happy. I need this for appointments in the early morning! I love the color. It is heavy metal and very sturdy. The second hand, due to the battery, slides along. Great for timing my exercises! As long as the button does not fail, I will order again if it stops being on time. Thanks!!!!! I have to keep track of when it slows down to change the battery. It would be nice if it had a low battery warning. But not a deal breaker. Great for power outages.

If this doesn't wake you up, you should probably see a doctor because something is seriously wrong with you. It's painfully loud and sends me in a terrified panic, sheets flying, stumbling as quickly as I can to shut the thing off. In fact, I put duct tape on the inside and outside of the bells where the hammer strikes to take the shrill edge off the obnoxious sound and it still freaks me out every morning. Now it's more like a pleasant fire alarm. I used to keep it down the hall from my bedroom in an attempt to trick myself into more bodily movement before turning it off, hoping that'd make me alert enough to not slink back to my beloved, warm sheets. It worked, and yes, was still loud enough to wake me up, but it was too long an epic journey in the dark with a Nazgul Fellbeast screaming at me, it's shriek echoing off the tile in a horrific echo chamber (at 5:00 am, this doesn't feel like exaggeration). The clock itself looks classy in just about any setting (I have the black one). The one real danger this kind of alarm clock poses is that you MUST TURN IT ON EVERY NIGHT OR ELSE IT WON'T WORK. For example, my alarm is set for 5:00. That means that if the switch on the back is set to "on," it'll ring any time the clock hits 5:00 without recognizing a difference between am and pm. Thus, you can't just turn it off in the morning then back on again. You must leave the alarm turned off until 5:00 pm passes, then turn it on and you're set for the morning. In essence, some people will need set set a phone alarm to remember to set the clock alarm. Kind of silly. However, if you can make a habit out of turning on the alarm as part of your bedtime routine, this clock will be good to you. Well. . . No it won't--you'll hate it, but it'll help you overcome your snoozing habit. See my photos for my silly tape idea that makes the clock more bearable. Hopefully this review is helpful to you.

The reason I’m only giving it 3 stars is because well, it’s a beautiful piece, Don’t get me wrong and it’s very well-made and it’s gorgeous to look at, but if you’re standing far away from it or even halfway near it, you can’t see the face of the clock because the numbers really are not that bright on the unit I got (Blueface white numbers) now, When you’re standing right next to it AND your also in a well lit room, yes, you could see it perfectly. And then there’s the backup light .. common, this has to be a joke. Please understand, The whole back doesn’t light up. No. it’s just a little tiny small dim light in the corner of it. so I put it on my novelty shelf, I have one of those but out of all honesty, I really also wanted a full functioning clock. It does work. It is loud when you turn it on I don’t really use the alarm because it’s not in my room… now there are other models that maybe I could’ve seen the numbers on the clock better but I can’t say it would’ve been as pretty and as nice as this one. I did turn on the alarm. I think it’s loud but it is it super loud now, but I think it’s loud enough that it would definitely wake somebody up assuming they’re sleeping right next to it. So I’m not gonna return it, but if the backup light lit the entire clock, or even better if the numbers on it were much brighter and maybe lit up automatically, I probably would’ve gave it five stars. It does work. But I shouldn’t have to stand right next to it to see the time. Just an honest review.
