(More customer reviews)This clock is simple. It tells the time, has an alarm, a 4 min. snooze and a light which suffices. All I wanted was a basic clock that I could fold up and take with me places that is fairly sturdy and this is it. The minute I took it out of the box I set the time then dropped it on the floor from different heights numerous times and tilted it around to see if the time/display would be affected. It wasn't, this clock keeps the time if you drop it or it falls, I've had it for about a month and it has only gained one minute, which actually helps me because I get out the door and to class with that little extra. The alarm itself is somewhat quiet, which I thought at first would be a problem, but it hasn't failed yet to wake me up every morning during the first stage of it's going off. And it doesn't have that typical, extremely obnoxious "WAH! WAH!" alarm, which I can't stand and actually makes me wake up frightened, this one's just fast beeping that gets louder and faster as it goes, seems to wake me up and I haven't yet gotten used to it to where it isn't effective. The back-light is a little lame (I was used to the neat blue bright lights), from what I can tell it's just two small bulbs or something behind the display, but this does not make the time hard to see in the dark. It makes the display somewhat transluscent and you can see the numbers perfectly fine in the pitch black, the absence of an annoying blue light just takes a day or two to get used to. I'm actually really happy with this clock, as happy as you can be with a simple clock. It would be nice if it had a 24-hr. option, but that's just my preference. All in all, it's only 9-10 dollars, it's sturdy and the display doesn't crap out when it drops or tilts, the display is large enough to see from across a small room like a bedroom, the buttons don't feel like they'll fall off or pop out in a month or two, and it has worked well for me. If you're jsut looking for something basic that will get you up in the morning and tell you the time when you need it, I'd suggest this one (I purchased several others by timex and other companies in the same price range, 10-15 dollars and they were all extremely crappy, one had a display that actually wavered so bad you couldn't read the time when you tilted it at all in any direction other than upright. This one was definitely the best, hopefully it lasts a few years.) I gave it three stars not because it's a bad clock, just because it's basic. Good value though.
