Rating: - * I am loving this IPod clock ... I've had this product for a little while now, and sure it beats my previous alarm clock. Even though it was somewhat expensive (for an alarm clock) I am very happy that I bought it. Here's what I love: 1. I can wake up to my IPod. 2. I can charge my IPod. 3. The speaker is fairly decent for a clock/radio/IPod player 4. It's small footprint fits nicely on my nightstand. 5. I can turn the backlight off at night which works really well for my husband. 6. The Alarm time is easy to set and does not accidentally change the clock time. 7. The clock comes with a preset time and it pretty much sets itself. 8. It's got a remote which is very handy. Here's what I would change: 1. There are four settings for the backlight, from brightest to off. I wish there were at most three since I like it on during the day and off at night and having to hit the button three times to turn it off seems like overkill. 2. Turning on/off the alarm is not completely intuitive. I'm still not sure how many button pushes are required - but one is not enough. I think you cycle between turning it on, choosing to set the alarm time, and off. 3. I wish you could choose the snooze time - nine minutes is a bit long. Note that the Snooze button is also the button you hit to change the backlight setting which, at first, is a bit confusing. Rating: - * Amazing Ipod Alarm Clock ... I'm a very frugal shopper and been taking my time looking for a couple of years to find an alarm clock I really like. I've been oogling over those wide sleek alarm clocks out in the market but I just don't have the surface space on my side table next to my bed for any of those. This Timex alarm isn't as mod stylish as those wide low ones, but it has the smallest footprint for what it can offer. Feature wise it completely surpassed any expectations I had. Beyond the alarm and ipod compatibility, it's practically designed. Love where the buzzer is located on the bottom away from anything else you could accidentally fumble and accidently push and that it doubles as a dimmer. Several of the buttons have multiple purposes but it's not confusing. And the sound quality's pretty good for an alarm clock. Rating: - * Dial has 4 brightness settings including OFF! ... Thanks to those who mentioned the dimmer feature, I now have an alarm clock I don't have to throw a towel over! Rating: - * This product is garbage ... I have owned this clock for about 4 months, and the first 3 were just fine. After that, it stopped working properly with my ipod. Nothing I did fixed the fact that I could no longer wake to my ipod. To add to that, its buttons have recently changed operation (eg. the "set alarm" button now changes the display's brightness, the snooze button does not function). I would highly suggest purchasing a different product if you plan on using your ipod in this clock with frequency. Rating: - * AWESOME Alarm Clock! ... I searched high and low for an iPod Alarm Clock for my husband for his birthday. So many got mixed reviews, I was a little anxious picking up a tech gadget for him by myself. But this one is awesome. It is compact, sounds great, has multi back light setting (important since I did not want a mini light on while sleeping), works perfect for charging, using the iPod, has dual alarms, a cool fun remote remote (not needed but still fun, different choice for alarm...radio, beep or iPod. I am paid a little more than the $50 ones found everywhere in stores...but it is wort it! Very happy! |
