Chaney Instruments Traveler Alarm Clock

Comment: This is a compact wake-up alarm clock for travel, and does not depend upon batteries or electrical connections to operate. Does a dependable job.

Comment: Bought this alarm clock for my cousin who was looking for a nice sized clock to take with him on his travels. He loves it and was amazed at how quickly he received it.

Comment: This item was a gift for my mother in law, who travels quite a bit. She likes it a lot. She says that it does not have an irritating alarm and keeps good time.

Comment: Sometimes the alarm will work, sometimes (most of the) time it doesn't. Can't trust it so it it going in the trash.

Comment: The plastic outer case is as ugly as can be (no surprise given the very reasonable price), and the clock tends to run 10-15 minutes fast if it's not readjusted every couple of days (better fast than late, and I should note in Chaney Instrument's defense that actually there's a way to adjust the clock pace; I've just not had the time to re-read the instructions for that), but otherwise this clock is a great find.

The wind-up mechanism is very satisfying to turn because it feels so sturdy. The lack of a snooze button means you simply HAVE to get up when the alarm goes off, and the ring is a healthy volume without being annoyingly insistent. No battery, and no plug, which means as long as you remember to wind up the clock once a day, you're never at the mercy of a power loss.
