Review on Black Sony ICF-C1/BC3 B01NCLPLS4 ICFC-1 LED Alarm Clock Radio by Matthew Fleming

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Classic Sony cube.

Looks like old stock and the backup battery in mine was DOA. The 2032 battery is easy to swap out, so no big deal. This is the single alarm version and loves the simple design and obvious buttons that you can figure out even if you're out of your mind in the morning. Soft alarm or radio function. It's not a boombox so don't expect a loud sound, but it will wake you up. EDIT: The watch has now been in use for about 3 months and I have downgraded my rating from 5 to 3 stars; Some of the LED digits drop out - a segment of the same number is always lit at full brightness while others are very dim - and general uneven brightness when scrolling through the display dimming function. The clock, alarm and radio still work perfectly, but I wonder how long the display will last before it becomes really unusable.
