Timex T130S Nature Sounds Alarm Clock

I bought this for my child to sleep to the nature sounds. After buying it, I found you can only play the nature sounds in the "sleep" mode and that they will only play for a maximum of 59 minutes, and then it shuts off! Why can't it just also have an "on" and "off" button? Also, there is no volume control for the sounds, and most seem pretty loud, but "ocean" is the softest. Further, the sounds repeat after a very short time, about 3 seconds, so the pattern is very obvious and could get annoying. I'd say to look for a better product with more features.

This is an excellent clock for many ages. For the older set, the numbers are large and easy to read; choose from 3 alarms the one that is easiest to hear. For the very young, the nature sounds are a perfect soother to put a child to sleep. And for the middle aged couple who has trouble getting up; it's a whole new way to wake up smiling!. Keeps everyone happy. Even the dog likes the nature sounds!

so far, I love my clock....except one thing. There is no volume control available for the nature sounds. If you don't want to be blasted by the sound of pounding waves, excited birds or a babbling brook, you have to put the clock on the other side of the room and cannot have it close to your head. I would prefer the volumn to be lower and adjustable. Other than that, it has great features for the cost......
