Westclox Gem Black

We accidentally left our favorite TIMEX travel clock at a hotel some time ago. I have been searching for one like it, and I finally found one that comes close. The only difference is the alarm-set dial, which is now on the back of the clock...but we can deal with that. We both love the one-touch light feature that allows you to see the time in the middle of the night. The alarm-on/off switch is easy to use and has a red strip that lets you know that it's in the ON position.

My husband takes this when he travels but uses his even at home. I bought one for my travels, and an extra one as well.

I was looking for a replacement for a white Radio Shack travel alarm that had died after many years of daily service. This Westclox is the closest I could come. My major complaint with it is the color--makes it hard to see on a dark tabletop. I love the little pushbutton light, so useful to the light sleeper. The small size will fit on the tiniest ledge or bedside table.

I bought this clock because I loved the size as well as the analog dial. I began having trouble with it after just a month, but I was able to get it running again. Now, it seems to have quit working altogether. This morning, I was late to work, when it completely stopped.
It was a good price at the time, but I can't afford such an inconsistent product.
