Timex Alarm Clock with Temperature Sensor and Large Display, Battery Operated for Bedroom Runs on 3 AAA Batteries (T108BC) (T108)

I have been on the hunt for the perfect bedside alarm clock. This one checks off nearly all my boxes: -Perfectly quiet. Even so-called "Silent" analog clocks end up making some noise eventually. -Battery powered. Good for three reasons; one, it's completely unaffected by the power going out, and two, I don't have a 120 volt AC transformer generating electromagnetic fields next to my head while I sleep. Batteries are DC power which doesn't generate these types of fields. Three relates to my first point; DC battery power makes this alarm clock perfectly quiet at night. I would prefer if it took AA batteries instead of AAA batteries, but that's just a nitpick. -Light off option at night. There is an ambient night light option which creates a pleasing dim grey backlight glow that isn't as harsh as the LED display of most digital alarm clocks, but I prefer to sleep without any extra lights on in my room, so I can leave this off. If I get up in the middle of the night and really want to know the time, I can hit the snooze/light bar. No light or sound to interrupt my beauty sleep are good things. -Alarm is adequately loud without being obnoxious or too loud. It starts with one beep per second, then two, then three, then a steady pulse of beeps. The snooze bar gives about five minutes of extra sleep time if you need it. -Easy to set the time, date, and alarm. Easy to turn the alarm on and off. I didn't need a manual nor a lot of brain power to figure this thing out. -Easy to read display without needing my reading glasses. -It shows the room temperature and the month and day, which are nice but were not things I find that useful. What would be useful would be to show the day of the week, because it's really nice to know when it's the weekend when I wake up. Overall, while the day of week would have been a really nice feature, considering the price of this alarm clock, I cannot complain. It is already better than other alarm clocks at significantly higher price points, so I am very happy with it. It's cheap enough that if they did come out with a new model that featured the day of the week, I would replace it with that.

This clock is really good. I like all the features. You can put the backlight on at night so you can read it. I bought it because I wanted to know the temperature in my bedroom . The alarm is loud enough.

I like that the clock does not add light to the room. The alarm is designed with an easy on/ off. The alarm starts soft and then becomes louder as needed. Since I wake easily, it's pleasant to waken without a harsh jolt :) I'm pleasantly surprised by this clock.

I recommend this light, reliable & easy to program alarm clock More importantly, if you can read the AM/PM, it'll be 100% accurate.-a senior

Not hard to set it. Easy to read

Very nice in size and simplicity and I like all of the information it provides

Compact & easy to use. Night viewing option is useful. Well worth the money...

I returned this clock as the ambient lighting didn't allow me to read it from across the room, and there is no way to have it lighted full time. The night-light for bedside was too bright.

The only drawback with this item is the nighttime light emitted from the face of the clock is not adjustable. I made a screen to block some of the light and it is now satifactory.

the walmart product pic attached show the lit up version **** so the blue background is only there when you press the light button otherwise it doesnt stay lit **** and its hard to read
