Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Timex T309T Alarm Clock Radio with Nature Sounds (Titanium)Customer Review: best clock radio I've seen Summary: 5 Stars
After reading a lot of online reviews and visiting Target to take a look at their range of clock radios, I decided to go with this for several reasons. One, it has a battery back up which you would think most electric clocks would have but they don't. This one backs up all your settings except that the alarm goes to buzzer instead of to radio or nature sounds. It won't let you oversleep though which is the important thing. Second, it does not have a bright light display. I am very, very light sensitive when trying to go to sleep at night. The display is back-lit (amber) with a dimmer button, but as I discovered, it doesn't allow it to go all the way off. I'll have to face it away from me and turn it around when I need to, I guess. Still, the dimmest setting is extremely dim and does not light up the whole room. Third, it is small and fits on my nightstand, but it is heavy enough that I'm not going to keep knocking it down. My clock arrived today and I must say I am happy with it. It looks really nice, is made of good sturdy materials, and the radio sound is not bad at all for a clock radio. Setting the alarm is not intuitive but the directions in the manual are clear and I've been able to figure it out. A previous reviewer said that holding down the button to advance the minutes does not make it go any faster; it actually does make it go faster but not as fast as I would have liked or expected. (There's no button to advance the hour; one button does it all). The radio pre-sets are like that of a car radio. There are 6 buttons but it allows you 18 pre-sets if you press the "band" button for another set of 6 FM stations to add to the first 6, and press it again for a set of 6 AM stations. Amazon allows you to download the manual (on this web page) before you buy it, which demystifies anything that the customer reviews don't touch on.
