who care about what it look like , the whole purpose of a alarm clock be to make sure you wake up on time . this alarm be not loud enough for heavy sleeper like I . I try use this a couple of time and both time I end up not hear it , oversleep , and be late for my college class . which , btw , seriously tick I off . I buy it because another reviewer have say the alarm be loud ... sorry , but it be not . it now sit unused in my desk drawer . total waste of money .
