Seiko Bedside Alarm Clock Silver-Tone Metallic Case

LOVE THIS CLOCK. SLIGHTLY OLD FASHIONED STYLING, BUT I LIKE THAT. IT HAS A NICE LOUD BELL-TYPE ALARM. YOU CANNOT SLEEP WHEN THIS ALARM IS ON! SO IF YOU ARE A FAIRLY HEAVY SLEEPER, IT SHOULD WAKE YOU UP WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE ONLY WARNING I HAVE IS THAT WHEN YOU SET THE ALARM TIME, MAKE SURE YOU TURN THE KNOB IN THE COUNTERCLOCKWISE DIRECTION AS STATED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS, OR IT WON'T WORK. OTHER THAN THAT, THIS IS A GREAT LITTLE CLOCK. IT ALSO KEEPS GOOD TIME.

With the exception of one thing (and it's a big thing), I am please with this clock. I should have heeded the other reviewer's comment on the loud alarm. This alarm will JOLT you out of bed. It turns out I don't like my heart racing that fast, that early. So I'm in the market for an alarm clock with adjustable volume or better yet, one that gently crescendos until you turn it off. Also, you only have 14 days to return this clock after purchase- I missed the window.

I gave this Seiko alarm clock a 5-star rating because it
is easy to read the large numerals, you can see it in the dark, has a nice calming green glow as opposed to that
glaring red which I can't stand and it does what other
reviewers mentioned: get your bod outta bed!
It is a loud ringing type alarm and I use it for my son's
wake up call. If you need to get up before anyone else
and don't want to wake them even in the next room I would
suggest not using this clock ~ would've been nice to have
a volume control on the ringer for that purpose ~ perhaps
the next generation.
