This alarm clock is pretty nice and original an aesthetic point of view, however, it lacks two essential features in my opinion, the first is a button to project the time without r2 does sound, convenient to make a demo in store but completely unusable in a room, one wonders the value of this key. Then the ring volume is not adjustable, the sound is much too strong for me by default. In the end we are left with a R2D2 alarm clock fun to watch but not to use.
