So after buying multiple analog kitchen clocks that actually all worked only briefly, I've decided to try out a digital time and am very pleasantly surprised. The clock looks very good, works great and is easy to operate reliably. The signal is very loud, I have the clock but not attached to the magnet for such he is actually too weak and may therefore be so good to hear the alarm. The build quality is excellent (the front is made of stainless steel (!) And with the battery compartment I had no problems. An AA battery is so strong buy recommendation.
