Terrible viewing angle

Everything about the watch works great and the interface is intuitive, making it difficult to miss an alarm and oversleep. However, the viewing angle of the LCD tops out at around 20 degrees above horizontal, making it utterly useless unless you're laying it on the floor or sleeping standing up. To know what time it is, and not just to see a full flood of green, I have to get out of bed almost entirely. I long for the days when little pieces of plastic fell off to reveal the next number and I…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • You could go for a newer model

Design should win

This is the best alarm clock I've seen on the market. The moment I realized that, I was sold. Crappy alarm clocks are my favorite thing and this one is awesome. Setting the time takes seconds. Setting up digital presets takes seconds. It looks amazing and I can put a beer or cup of coffee on it (not recommended) if I want. No batteries? No problem, because it only takes a few seconds to set up - no need to hold the button down for two minutes while it toggles. I'm buying one for my brother…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Neutral

No good if you can't tell the time

Finding the perfect (even appropriate) Clarke for your bedside alarm clock is harder than you think. It seems vendors' focus on features has eclipsed any concerns about basic functionality. But we also love cool stuff! Despite the mixed reviews for this product, we bought it because it looks good, has lots of nice features, and is easy to set up. We hoped the negative comments about the viewing angle were overly critical and conceded that they were hilarious. Unfortunately (actually, almost…

Form follows function, NOT!

In my opinion, a clock radio should be in the following order: 1) have an easy-to-use, reliable alarm clock, 2) show the time clearly, and 3) use an easy-to-use radio function. Point 3. The digital tuner was nifty and accurate, making it easy to tune in to my favorite station in my landscape. However, the clock next to my side of the bed was almost impossible to see at night - my husband had no hope. See time (function 2). The watch has NO BACKUP BATTERY. Wait, isn't that the primary function…

Pros
  • Amazing
Cons
  • Some bugs
