Customer Reviews:

poor quality [Posted on 2008-04-27]
Something about the construction of this clock causes vibrations which produces a faint buzzing or rattling sound. Pressing on the clock stops the sound until I release pressure. As far as I can tell, the sound is from the battery cover rattling, but something else internal is causing the vibrations. The rattle is not loud, but it keeps me up at times. Besides this, parts of the display seem to be going out and it doesn't keep good time.

I am very disappointed. I can't seem to find a quality alarm clock with the basic features. I don't need/want a radio, or a self setting time (which typically gets time changes incorrect), or a CD player, or laser displays...I just need a simple plug in alarm clock with battery backup that doesn't buzz or die within a couple months...anyone listening?

Don't buy this one [Posted on 2008-06-20]
I don't usually write reviews, but I am doubly annoyed at this product because we bought two at the same time only to have them gradually fall apart. OK, it became part of our routine to set the clock back a few minutes everyday to compensate for it speeding ahead. But then it developed an annoying habit of issuing a short burst of the alarm at odd hours of the night. Both clocks are now in the trash.... what a waste of money.

Not useful [Posted on 2008-06-22]
I bought this 2 weeks ago. Now the time lags behind ( i.e clock is 10 seconds slower every minute.)
Got it from US to India, not sure if anybody can service this.
Atleast for me this was a huge disappointment since I believed in the name "Sony'. Also I can not return it at the moment.

good clock [Posted on 2008-06-29]
The numbers are very easily seen at night. A very good clock for people who have trouble seeing in the dark. Too bad the radio is analog.

I loved it! [Posted on 2008-07-15]
I bought this product as a gift for my mother. I loved it and I will buy one for me.
