I buy this clock for one of my hard-to-wake-up family member , and just receive it . after put in battery and test it , this be my analysis : pro : compact size , attractive design , good size digital number , hi and low alarm setting -lrb- high be very loud -rrb- , snooze feature , use aa battery . con : a bit hard to set - not intuitive - must hold down the time or alarm button while set time or alarm time , no constant light on the digital number time although dial be light when the snooze button be push . I personally prefer set time and alarm on the dial clock , much easier . I also like have a constant back-light on the time so I can see it in the dark . -lrb- color be silver , not blue as in picture . -rrb- all thing consider , this be a very nice clock . good clock these day be hard to come by . I like this one overall , and be seriously think of get a few more for other family member who need a good `` nudge '' to get up in the morning .
