in try to purchase another , I have be disappoint to find the Timex Solar alarm out of stock at Amazon . thankfully , it be still available elsewhere , but the thought that this clock might be discontinue motivate I to write a review because it be a great clock ! I know there be people complain that it do not connect very well when you try to have it set itself automatically . but I do not buy it for that purpose and it be easy enough to set manually that it be hard for I to understand why that should be a big deal . especially since it depend on where you live whether it can connect and its not really Timex 's fault that I live in New England -lrb- pretty darn far from Colorado ! -rrb- the snooze only do five minute increment so that be something to be aware of . sometimes when I want to keep push snooze for a while -lrb- but can not turn off the alarm or I would oversleep -rrb- I reach for the alarm and set it beside I on the bed -lrb- since it be cordless and very light -rrb- so that I can `` snooze it '' on the first beep . I also agree with another reviewer that all the little beep when set or check the alarm setting be unnecessary and mildly annoying . but I be more than willing to accept they because after read hundred of review for other clock -lrb- upon see this one be out of stock -rrb- I become even more convinced than I be already that there be not another alarm clock out there that compare to this one ! on to what I love about this clock . it do not glow some bright color all night and keep my husband and I awake . when I need to see the time in the dark , it have a button that cover the top -lrb- you can not miss it even when fumble around because you be half asleep -rrb- that I can press and it illuminate the time in a perfect non-sleep-disturbing amber . this be very important to I since my sleep get mess up easily . -lrb- the body 's light sensor that regulate circadian rhythm be very sensitive to blue , green or white light , but red or amber have barely any effect , which be exactly what you want at night . in the morning those other color be good since they promote wakefulness , but I do not expect or want a alarm clock to perform for I the work of a lamp or light box -rrb- I also like that this clock show the date , day of the week and room temperature at the bottom of the display in addition to the larger display of the time . sometimes when I be think about what to set we hall thermostat to at night it be helpful to see what the temperature currently be in we bedroom first . another thing I appreciate be how this silver color clock look on my bedside table . it really look attractive ; compare to all the black alarm you see or the one that glow odd color , it stand out for its elegance . it have no cord to get in the way or battery to change . with past clock that glow , I would end up turn the clock face against the wall , but here there be no need so it be always position well . it be a perfect size ; it be petite , but not too small .
