Timex T123 Simple Set Direct Entry Alarm Clock (Silver)

 (3 customer reviews)

UPDATED review: This is not a clock radio, it is a pure non-repeating alarm clock, with one alarm for those who like to keep it simple. It has two levels of a chirping alarm, which increases in frequency if you don't hit the 'alarm off' button. You can throw away the instructions as it is easy to set. One morning after about 3 1/2 months, however, it died, no time display, nothing, Kaput! Which gives it the one star rating!

Does not live up to its description.
Main issue is the alarm, which--even at its loudest--is too soft to be heard unless you are a very light sleeper (I am not).
The dimming capacity does not make that much difference; it is still brighter than necessary.
The clock is supposed to be easy to set, but I do not find it is any less complicated or troublesome than any other such devices. In fact, because the controls are all black, on a black background, it is nearly impossible to see them except under bright light.
Altogether, a very disappointing product from an old company that has a reputation for being dependable.

This alarm clock is very easy to set and operate. It comes with instructions but you probably won't need them.

It does everything I want an alarm clock to do, and it doesn't annoy me by being overly complicated. The numerical keypad is a great idea. If you often change the time of your alarm this feature is really convenient.

The alarm volume and the display brightness are adjustable, and there's a battery backup in case of power failure.

All this at a reasonable price. Works for me!
