Acctim12343 Auric Alarm Clock, Black, one size, Synthetic, MEDIUM

I bought his alarm clock to replace a previous model, of the same design, that I had owned for a very long time and in all that time I had only had to change the battery once and the clock kept perfect time. The unit itself is small enough 4" x 3" x "2 high to fit on any bedside unit, or shelf and it is really very easy to set the time and alarm timer and is totally silent. For me it is perfect, as the display is easy to read during daylight, or when the bedroom is lit, but when the room is dark the unit emits no light and so to read the time you just press the top and the time display is illuminated briefly and then goes dark again. So, if you like a dark and silent room as a sleep aid at night this is perfect for you, but if you want to clock watch on sleepless nights maybe you need to explore other units.

This clock only took 2 days to arrive - fabulous service, many many thanks.It is the identical clock to the one which stopped working when my cat threw a large glass of water over it, and I bought it because it is about the best alarm clock I have ever had. Big bold clear numbers to read, with a backlight which fades very quickly, so doesn't keep you awake. Very very easy to set up - it didn't take me more than 1 minute from unpacking it to having it set up and ready to go.Lovely alarm sound, starting off very gently and gradually getting louder.I would recommend this to anyone.

This is a nice size alarm which I bought to have by the bedside. On the plus side, it is clear to read, and easy to use. On the negative side, there is only one button to control alarm on/off and alarm/clock time setting, which means that you have to be rather careful about which position the button is in to make sure the alarm is set. Also, the light/snooze button is a but clunky. A soft press button would be much nicer, but I guess this is not to be expected for this price.

A good reliable alarm clock. I had an old one for about 15 years before it died. Bought another as a replacement and had it about 6 months with no issues.

Very disappointing as Acctim are reasonably well known and it really looked, and sounded, the part. No-nonsense display with just time and alarm indicator. Easy to set up. All seemed well first few days until the backlight refused to come on, or if it did it flickered, or sometimes it only came on if you held the snooze button down (rather than on full then gradual fade after one touch, which is what it did initially).Alarm volume was just what I needed, but the switches and snooze/light button are all very flimsy and cheap-feeling.Returned in under a week.

The clock is everything you need in a clock. Very easy to set up.

Good alarm clock. Reliable time keeping. The setting button can be a bit fiddly but works fine once used a few times. There is a back light on pressing the snooze button which lights display however on normal display (without backlight) can be difficult to view. Have used item for over 6 months and battery life holding up well

Clock/Alarm works well - on 2nd one as the cheap batteries I used corroded - my fault. Point is, I got the same one again!Good size and ergonomic.Love the fading out of the blue lcd ilumination when you press the light button - reason alone to buy it :)
