ASTRONAUT

 (3 customer reviews)

This alarm has turned out to be pretty useless. It's quite small as I'd read, but that's where the good stuff ends. There's no snooze, no light, and you can't set an exact wake up time. There's a single hand that sets the alarm off, but you have to approximate the time. You can't turn the alarm back on either, because it will continue to go off until it's 30 minutes past the set time. It's also quite cheaply made. Pushing a bit too hard either on or off will cause the entire clock face to spin. The metal cover is quite wobbly. I was hoping for something a bit classy to back up my other travel alarms, but this thing is garbage.

Subject: Bolova Astronaut table clock. Coming from an aerospace background, I thought this Cool looking clock, with a "BOLOVA" name, titled "Astronaut" would be great. I went with the 5 star review and how pleased he was to have it on his desk, leaving me to think that Dimensions were correctly described on google and amazon.com, by pricebully. So I purchased this item. When package arrived it was small, and less than 5oz, open the package and took out the clock and the Dimensions: 2.25" High x 2" Wide x 0.75" Deep, Not Cool. See pics. BTW, there wasn't a model# on amazon.com. The model# is: B2808. Also, if this is on your desk, USE YOUR WRIST WATCH...LOL!

I've had this clock for a few months now and I'm pretty pleased with it. Granted, I don't use it as an alarm clock, so the previous reviewer's gripes don't apply to me. I have the clock on my desk and only use it as such. I like the sporty design with it's black face and think it's still the best out there, if you're just looking for a small desk or shelf clock. The one I received from Amazon looks slightly different from the stock picture though. The sweeping hands are larger and have the glowing material in them as well, which makes it even better.
