Review on ⏰ Timex T309T Radio Alarm Clock: Titanium with Nature Sounds (Discontinued by Manufacturer) - A Reliable Way to Wake Up Naturally by Becki Rodriguez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Decent alarm clock for the money

3 main reasons I bought this clock: 1) digital tuner 2) nature sounds 3) 3 separate alarms (7-5-2) - one for each day, another for Monday - Friday and one just for Saturday and Sunday Having owned this watch for a few weeks with most of the features I bought this watch is adequate for work. One thing I have a big problem with is the 7-5-2 alert feature. I felt like I could set 3 different alarms at once with this feature. And as long as I set the alarm to "on", the clock knows what day it is and turns off the alarm at a certain time. The watch has a calendar, so you might think it should work. Well it doesn't, at least not when the buzzer is used. I haven't tried using radio signals but after reading the manual it looks like it will work the same way. All you have to do is set the alarm time and then select every day, Mon-Fri or Sat/Sun. So during the week you leave the alarm pretty much alone, but when the weekend comes you need to change the alarm time and choose Sat/Sun. It doesn't really save you any more time compared to a watch with a single alarm setting. After seeing this watch at a local department store, I tried to find more information about it on the Timex website. Well it was useless. I couldn't find any information about this or the alarm on their website. So I agree with Alli's reviewer about how poor the site's navigation is. Overall, this is a decent alarm clock for the money, but the 7-5-2 alarm is almost useless to me. On the plus side, I didn't expect that when listening to the radio in sleep mode, you'd be able to dial down the volume with the press of a button instead of having to adjust the volume from the back. In addition, Revain has the best overall price for this alarm (it comes with free shipping).

Pros
  • Happy so far
Cons
  • Expensive insurance
