this clock do exactly what it be advertise to do . it be small , it be cute , it work on a aa battery and the alarm be loud enough to wake up a normal person . I like the finish and the retro look . what I especially like be that be have a little button you push to see the face light up in the middle of the night ... without have it light up all the time . it be a awesome clock for $ 10 . I receive exactly the clock that be represent .
