Westclox Gem Black Review

Westclox Gem Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We accidentally left our favorite TIMEX travel clock at a hotel some time ago. I have been searching for one like it, and I finally found one that comes close. The only difference is the alarm-set dial, which is now on the back of the clock...but we can deal with that. We both love the one-touch light feature that allows you to see the time in the middle of the night. The alarm-on/off switch is easy to use and has a red strip that lets you know that it's in the ON position.
My husband takes this when he travels but uses his even at home. I bought one for my travels, and an extra one as well.

Clocky Alarm Clock On Wheels Review

Clocky Alarm Clock On Wheels
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If ever there was a product that cried out for an Amazon video review, it's Clocky. This thing is so much fun to play with. It sounds like R2 D2 from Star Wars, and after the first time you hit the snooze alarm it jumps off the table or nightstand and runs around the room a beepin' and a flashin'. You can see it works pretty well on the carpeting and it moves even faster on our tile floors. It can jump down from up to 3 feet without killing itself which is more than you need for most nightstands. I don't know if you can see from the video, but it's made pretty well and seems sturdy.
I bought it for my sister who thinks it's cute during the day but doesn't like chasing it in the morning. I tried to capture her on video, chasing clock in a real live morning situation, but her words were "unkind" and not suitable for an Amazon review.
This makes a cute gift for the person who has everything but likes to sleep. I hope this video gives you a better idea of how cute this thing is. (Sorry for all the jiggling around. I really have to get a camera with some kind of stabilization feature).

What if R2 D2's only obligation was to chirp incessantly at sleepy Jedi warriors first thing in the morning, while zipping around the bedroom? Certainly, Luke Skywalker would never sleep through a light saber combat training session with Yoda or miss out on a breakfast date with Chewbacca. For anyone who is prone to chronic snooze tag, Nanda Home Inc. created Clocky, their vocal, spastic alarm clock on wheels. Clocky hops off the nightstand and then runs this way and that, all the while beeping with an unpredictable cadence and flashing the backlight on his display screen. With his relentlessly annoying antics, Clocky is effective at motivating even the groggiest sleeper out of bed to hunt him down and put an end to his prattle.
Clocky features a user-friendly interface to set the time and the alarm. For those who prefer a warning before Clocky gets moving, the clock provides a one-time snooze function, customizable from zero to 9 minutes in duration. Likewise, users who prefer not to chase their alarm clock can turn off the wheel function. The display screen includes a PM indicator light and a low battery notification icon, as well as wheels and alarm icons to signify that these functions are on. To ensure safe jumping, place Clocky facing forward on the edge of a 3-foot high or shorter nightstand and clear the landing area of any objects that he might fall on. Clocky is not designed to maneuver shag carpeting. For operation, Clocky requires the separate purchase and installation of four AAA batteries. Clocky comes in several colors, including this almond white. A limited 90-day warranty covers this item. The clock measures 5-1/4 inches wide by 3-1/2 inches deep by 3-1/2 inches high.

Tocky Rolling Alarm Clock Review

Tocky Rolling Alarm Clock
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Pros:
- The first time your partner runs around the house chasing Tocky down to turn it off, you'll be awake laughing hard.
- I like that you can use your own MP3 music.
Cons:
- Tocky is about baseball sized, which is just too small for a lot of reasons (that follow)
- The physical button and touchwheel/touchwheel button are very close together, making it extremely easy to hit the wrong thing. This has been our biggest problem with Tocky. We have inadvertently changed the current time, turned off the daily alarm, routinely hit snooze instead of off.. just because the interface has so few buttons that you really need to pay attention to what you're doing - good luck with that when you're half asleep. These flaws have basically meant that I always have to set a backup alarm, which completely defeats the point. I miss my old big clunker alarm clocks with distinct switches/buttons for everything.
- The LCD backlight is very dim, and only comes on when you press a button. The way Tocky sits and with the rubber cover, you won't be able to see the time standing up if it's on a normal dresser- or nightstand-height surface and you're standing. Plus, the time display is small so you need to pick it up to see it anyway.
- The rubber sleeve seems necessary to protect Tocky and to press the physical button, but it's difficult to get on and off (necessary each time you change the batteries), and needs to be in just the right position to press the button, access the USB port, etc.
- If you leave the rolling on (Tocky's main feature, right?), the batteries run down very quickly. Apparently there's something called "protection mode" (see [...] ) that kicks in when the battery is low, and this caused the alarm to stop functioning without any warning. Um, thanks, Tocky? Good thing I'd set a backup alarm.
- I want to be able to program Tocky to have the alarm go off certain days (M-F) but not others (Sa/Su). This seems like an obvious software feature but you have to either set the alarm to go off or not, no scheduling. With normal alarm clocks this is fine, with Tocky you have to page through so many menus and hold in the touchwheel button for a few seconds and it just takes too long.
- I wish the snooze could be set to longer than 9 minutes.
The minimalist interface design seems good in theory, but sorry, it doesn't work for an alarm clock.

Average Reviews:

very cute, loud enough, works well, only problem is the sinlge button used to control the entire alarm is pushed by a piece of silicon on the cover, and our doesn't' fit right...so we have to use a small object like a bobby pin or pencil tip to turn the alarm on/off

Flying Digital Alarm Clock - Black Review

Flying Digital Alarm Clock - Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a cool concept, and when it actually did what it's supposed to do (before it broke), it did a great job of getting me out of bed in the morning. The problem is that the area in which you're supposed to place the propeller is too fragile. If you don't press down, the alarm doesn't shut off, and if you press too hard (too hard being moderate pressure; I do not have concrete hands), the parts that spin the propeller break.

After defeating the silly light detecting sensor I can hear the bird sounds with enough volume. Just take off the front cover, cut the 2 black wires which go to the sensor and splice them together. Then it works as it should have.

100th GM Anniversary Wall Clock Review

100th GM Anniversary Wall Clock
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Every hour, this cool clock makes the vroom-vroom sounds (and sometimes the horn) of a different classic car. The back has informational blurbs on each car depicted. We bought this for my brother-in-law, who builds classic cars, but you don't have to be a car buff to LOVE THIS CLOCK! It's bigger and more beautiful than it looks in the picture. At that price, it's Grand Theft Auto. If you're looking for a great gift, buy two: one as a gift; one for yourself! Even though there's an on/off switch for the car sounds, it also has a light sensor, so it will NOT go off if the room is dark or if it's wrapped. I'd give it 6 stars if I could!

Giant Size Calendar and Wall Clock Review

Giant Size Calendar and Wall Clock
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this clock for my father who is elderly and has Alzheimer's. We were all struggling with how to make him comfortable with knowing what day and date it was without his asking so often. This clock is pretty huge, so be prepared for that, but it has worked well for him. The drawback is that it all works mechanically with flippers that have gotten jammed a couple of times.

Audubon Singing Bird Clock - 8" Green Review

Audubon Singing Bird Clock - 8 Green
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this on a lark, because it was cheep... Okay, okay. I saw this clock in my 88 year old neighbor's kitchen last month, and as we caught up over tea and carrot cake, every hour's chime was a real treat. I did my online research and chose this clock from this vendor, and I'm very pleased. Yesterday I hung my singing birdie clock and I love it to bits! Every hour my cats turn their heads and go.. "Whuuut?" The sound quality is perfect, it's loud enough to hear throughout the house, but not too loud, like there's a real bird in the kitchen for a few seconds. Nice feature that it goes quiet after dark. I'm sending one to my Mom today. Then she'll think of me every time a bird sings (as opposed to every time she feels a headache coming on). This is a really great gift. (You'll need 3 AA batteries on hand).
