Timegyro Small Digital Alarm Clock Battery Operated, Cordless, Travel Alarm Clock, Brightness Adjustable, 12/24Hr [Energy Class A+++]

This little clock (and yes, I did! check the spelling of that word many times), has given me a little bit of joy in my life. Being GenX, I grew up in the time of Atari 2600s, Casio LCD watches, and LED bedside alarm clocks. So for someone to finally make an LED display from my youth, that does not require a mains connection, is fantastic. Being able to have a permanently illuminated bedside clock in a room with no nearby wall socket, has brought back a little reminder of the 80's, along with the ability to see the time in pitch darkness, without having to find a backlight button. The clock itself is good quality, but as others have stated, the display is just! bright enough in daylight. In a particularly bright room, I do not think this clock would be viewable. But I bought it specifically for night use, and for that it is perfect. There are three brightness settings, but the difference between the three is almost imperceivable. You need to set the clock to the slightly higher setting, and just leave it here. Because the brightest setting is still rather dim, the clock does not switch brightness at night, like an electric model would do. It just remains on the same setting, obviously trying to squeeze out as much run time from the AA batteries as possible. If you are a fellow GenXer, and had one of these clocks in your youth, think of the brightness they used to drop to at night, and that is the brightness this little clock runs at all the time. For a night time bedside alarm clock, or just a bedroom night clock, this is utterly fantastic. If you are from GenX, this little clock will help you remember a time when we had better gadgets from Japan instead of China. Better cars, and the only 'social media' was sitting having a laugh with a huge group of friends in the pub.

Bought this to replace an old digital clock that was far too bright, ran fast and always reset in a power cut regardless of a backup battery. This was a great buy, a really nice size and I love the different brightness settings. It keeps the time perfectly and has lasted just over 7 months on a pair of 'Energiser Alkaline Power' batteries before needing them replaced.I can't comment on the alarm function as I don't use it, I just keep the clock on my bedside table so I can see it when I wake during the night.The display doesn't show up that well on very sunny days, but for all the sunny days we get here it's not a problem for me.

Instructions for setting up this little digital clock are reasonably easy to follow but I would suggest keeping them in a safe place for future use as they are not easy to remember! No comment yet on battery life or durability as I have only owned this clock for a couple of weeks. The red light is quite nice at night, warm, cosy glow and the time is easy to read with no more effort than just turning your head.However I have only given it a four star rating for two reasons. The first being that it is not quite as shown online where the background looks as if it is black so that the numbers stand out. It does look like this during the night - but not in the daytime because the background is actually almost the same colour red as the numbers so that, even out of direct sunlight, the time can only be seen if you are close to the clock. As I originally bought this clock for daytime use I was very disappointed.The second reason is to do with the minute setting as these can only be altered in the forward direction. If there is any need to adjust backwards it has to be done the long way round by going forwards to reach the figure required.

Love this clock small and bright easy to see display long lasting battery life no cable to trail

Great alarm clock, simple to use, easy to set up once you have read instructions

I can not describe how really really happy I am with this LED Alarm Clock. First of all, I already have a really nice battery operated alarm clock - the simple to use kind that you just turn the button/knob at the back to set the time and a separate button/knob to set the alarm. Easy to use and change time &/or alarm when needed. However I struggle to make out the time at night without turning on my torch, so just wanted something that I could use to see the time at night without having to use my torch.I did a lot of searching to find the right one, as I didn't need to use it as an alarm or to see the date etc, just the time if I woke in the middle of the night. I earmarked several different ones, but kept coming back to this one - Timegyro Chaorong LED Alarm Clock. Many I Looked at which indeed were cheaper, often couldn't be seen from an angle or from a different height to where it was to be placed and there were other things I was unsure would be suitable after reading all the reviews . So in the end having come back to this one after several days of searching, I decided to purchase it.I am so glad I did take the plunge and spend a bit more then I intended to as I could not be more pleased. The size is perfect and the time is very easy to read, from any angle and even from a distance when I put it across the room, even without my glasses on. I would point out that I only wanted this for night time viewing so as others have said, it may not be that suitable for someone who wants it in their bright daytime living room.Delivery was nice and speedy and I found it easy to use the instructions to set the clock. For what I wanted - a very easy to read battery operated clock for night time use - I could not have chosen anything better. Very very happy indeed.

Not too sure the auto brightness works as well as they claim. After a few days it has gained a minute, so not quite as accurate as they may think. Nice green glow in the dark room is pleasant enough.

Its a small, light clock with simple functions that are easy to use. The red display has three settings of brightness - not very different in practice. But, in the dark the display is clear and isnt glaring. Its completely silent in operation. Its a good clock and I recommend it.
