Yes, the seconds flashing dots. No, it does not bother me. It's not like that the whole bedroom would brighten by blinking. If you look directly, you'll see just that they flash, normally I turn but to the side and close your eyes, when I go to bed, so I do not know now why that should be disturbing.
Good like that is dispensed frills: The display itself can be great way to tell time, small the date, day and of course the icons for radio reception and the alarm. You can also change the language, among other things German which manifests itself mainly in the Day of the Week noticeable.
You can adjust the projection on short-term or permanent, and the display lights up only if you press the snooze button, so also does not bother at night.
Less well like that especially the snooze button has no really good tactile feedback (although: left and right you go, just in the middle of it is bad) and that all other keys beep every time you print! A mystery to me why this is not mentioned in any other review. For if problematic if you do not sleep alone, wakes up BEFORE the alarm. If you then want to turn off the alarm, it beeps and inevitably the partners "would be's".
This is especially stupid if you have set to "Alarm 1", because is not activated until the alarm, you walk through the settings "Alarm 2", "alarm 1 + 2" and "off", ie gives 3 beeps. I solve it that wakes me with the "alarm 1 + 2", so I need at least to disable only 1 Beep to him. And so often it happens anyway not before that I wake up before the alarm.
Nevertheless, rather Manufacturer: What sense is it revealed to be backed by pressing a key with a loud beep sound?
The alarm itself is not sooo loud beeping what I feel to be quite pleasant. Because I know much shriller and nervenzerfetzendere alarm tones. The first 30 seconds it sounds briefly 1x per second, from then it beeps 3 times per second at the latest, you should be awake.
Overall, a good, simple and functional radio and Projection Alarm Clock.
