Peakeep Analog Alarm Clock Non-Ticking Silent, Optional 7 Wake-up Sounds with Volume Control, Nightlight and Snooze, AA Battery Operated (Black)

Stopped working after few days.

I purchased this two years ago and it's still running great. Best alarm clock ever! Why? Amber light does not disturb sleep cycle. Large, easy to read numbers in low light. Adjustable alarm volume so I can set it low for myself (I'm a light sleeper). Multiple alarm sounds so I can pick one that awakens me gently, not jarring me awake! Sweep second hand so no tick-tick sound at all. Stable base does not get knocked over if I am reaching for it. Changed battery only once in the last two years. Bought one for a friend and they love it too.

Great alarm! You can set the volume of the alarm so if you are a light sleeper you don't get blasted out of bed and loud enough for heavy sleepers. I keep it in the bathroom and the alarm is loud enough from another room that I had to turn it down from maximum setting. You can also select your choice of alarm, there is the traditional buzz, there are several piano sonatas to chose from and one nature sounds of birds chirping which I wanted to chose but is not rousing enough to wake me up. It's a little bit more expensive than a straight alarm clock but so much more pleasant to wake up to with choice of alarms and volume control. If it matters to you, you can press the snooze button and it illuminates the clock face, I check the time when I have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. Of course I bought it because it didn't have the ticking second hand which would keep me awake and the other benefits are definitely a bonus and well worth it.

I hate waking up to a loud, irritating buzzer or beeping alarm, so I was looking for a clock that has nature sounds as an alternative. There certainly aren't many options out there. There are a bunch of sunrise simulation clocks that have nature sounds (I think most or all are made by the same manufacturer but with different fake brand names), but every single one of them turns on the light (and gradually increases it) 30 minutes before the alarm is set to go off. I don't want to be woken up 30 minutes early. I'd be ok if the light came on 5-10 minutes early, but not 30. I know that was a mild digression, but maybe you're considering one of those clocks since they have nature sounds. I ended up choosing this clock since it has numerous good things going for it:Pro's:1.) you get six nice sound options to wake up to (not including the beep option). I like the birdsong, and don't laugh, but the Kenny G option is kind of nice too (just don't keep listening or you'll fall right back asleep since his music can do that to you. Lol)2.) the nightlight comes on when the alarm sounds, so it essentially gives you two simultaneous ways to wake up (which I wasn't aware of when I purchased it). I have to turn the clock on an angle so it doesn't shine directly in my eyes since the light is a bit of a jolt when you're in a deep sleep in a very dark room.3.) no ticking to keep you up all night (hooray!) But you already knew that.4.) I like the simple front controls for changing the wake up sound options or the sound level.5.) Speaking of the sound level, this clock can definitely put out the volume if you need it to. If you're a deep sleeper, I would have to believe that this thing would be able to wake you. If you accidentally turn the volume button all the way down, the volume is not zero - it is still enough to wake me, which is a good thing.6.) I sent an email to the vendor and they did reply back in a day or so (more about that later) so at least they're reading their email and replying. They seem like nice people.7.) the clock seems to be keeping accurate time so far.8.) the price was very affordable and they even threw in three batteries9.) Besides the nightlight coming on when the alarm goes off, it's also a nice plus if you NEED to turn on a light in the middle of the night. Maybe you heard a disturbing sound in the dark, so you want some light to see if Freddy, Jason, or Mike have sauntered into your room. The light is easy to find since it has a sizable button on top. Ironically, the nightlight can also be part of a con (see below).Neutral (neither a pro or a con but worth mentioning):1.) the clock is a bit larger than I initially expected so not really a travel alarm clock, but not an issue for me, since I only intended it for our bedroom. (To be fair, it wasn't marketed as a travel clock).Con's:1.) the glow-in-the-dark hands on the clock are pathetic, so you can't see what time it is in the middle of the night. If you want to see the time, you need to hit the nightlight, and it seems pretty bright when the room is pitch black. I prefer to lay there and ponder the time instead (unless I think I hear Freddy, Jason, or Mike walking in and then the bright light becomes a pro - see above).2.) The alarm is consistently 8 minutes off. That's not a major issue for me since I just have to consistently set it for 8 minutes earlier, but I still feel that it's a negative since it's not accurate. I sent an email to the vendor, and they nicely replied that you can't expect analog clocks to be accurate when it comes to the alarm setting. It's been a very long time since I last had an analog alarm clock, but my recollection is the alarm setting on that clock was always dead-on accurate. Oh well.Bottom line is it's a very good clock overall and definitely very nice to wake up to, therefore I can deal with its two quirks and smile each morning as the relaxing sounds of Kenny G permeate the air....

I bought this alarm clock several years ago and it worked great for a while. Great stability, good size, readable, and the time was always accurate (unless the battery was needed recharging). Love the musical wake-up call and volume control. Then it went out for good (had too many falls or something) and I tried re-purchasing it THREE times! And each time it arrived broken! The light and alarm didn't work on two of them and the clock itself didn't work for the third one. I think they are getting damaged in transit since they keep arriving in envelope packages and NOT boxes. Now I'm getting ready to return a THIRD one and I am very sad to say, I don't think I will be trying it again. These should really be placed in a box with bubble wrap so they don't get damaged in transit. I love this alarm clock but NOT when it DOESN'T work.

This is a simple basic clock. Alarm will sound and light up. If you want a basic clock that isn’t a buzzer sound to wake you up this is it! The sound is a little mechanical, but is nice. This is great for people who want to get the electronics out of the bedroom.
