Westclox Odyssey Dual Digital Alarm Clock 22700

 (6 customer reviews)

Pretty straight forward clock, but I must say it was a little bigger than I expected. It's going to be great when I lose my sight/hearing because the numbers are enormous and the alarm is super loud - even on the "low" setting it's a screamer. Fine with me, I'm getting used to it, but it was certainly a shock the first time. It has dual alarms, which is why I ordered it, and a super simple setup which is what I wanted. Minimal things to do on the interface, yay. I hate alarms that require reading the directions or have tiny little buttons all over them. This is a simple, utilitarian clock.

After my parents' alarm clock died, I got them this one as a Christmas present. I chose it for two features in particular: the large display and the adjustable light level. With both of my parents in their sixties, they need a clock that they can see easily from a distance. My father, also, needs to be able to set the clock to the lowest possible light level, because he has extremely acute night vision and most clock displays are too bright for him to sleep near. Having to cover up your clock to go to sleep really defeats its purpose, so this model is perfect. My parents also love that the clock has two alarms on it; they no longer need to each have their own clock because this one takes care of both of them. Westclox is a brand that I've always found reliable, so I knew it would be great.

This is a nice clock. The numbers are a bit large, but not too bad. I like that is has two alarm times and that it can be set forward (+) and backward (-). Setting it is a bit tricky as it advances very quickly when the button is pushed, but it's easy to go back with the (-) button.
