This clock is very pretty. I use it as a clock in my room ... not need glasses to see at night time, the display is very large, this is why I chose it. I advise against it in the recovery mode because the ringer (beep) is shrill and unpleasant. two minor complaints, however: 1) Brightness: although adjustable in 3 positions, even the mini position illuminates the whole room. It does not bother me that much but some buyers may be disturbed. and 2) the quality of manufacturing and very "cheap", a small piece of plastic (or something else, I have not opened to see) walks inside the box (right out of the box ), I think that we should not make it fall, it looks pretty fragile. BUT IT IS SUPER NICE!
