First, once he is amazingly much larger than one would think like the image here. But this is neither positive nor negative, but simply an observation. What I immediately noticed is the flowing movement of the second hand. The alarm clock is right on my bedside table and I hear not the hand movement. The alarm "sounds of nature" is now the one I mainly use it and I think it's beautiful, that the birds chirping varies - so you do not hear the same every morning. It brings a gently out of sleep and the initial doubts as to whether this at all sufficient to awaken, are totally unfounded.
The alarm clock is super easy to use - no complicated multi-function buttons, no searching. A simple side switch, the alarm turns off. Alternatively, the snooze function can be switched on via the top-mounted large button. Also the change between the three available alarm sounds is very easy to adjust by means of a selector button on the front Alarm Clock.
All in all, a total blast and worth every penny in my opinion. We recommend!
