This is the second alarm of this type. Additionally, bought for my daughter, who is also on analog clock. I myself use it for some time. The alarm clock is compact in dimensions, yet surprisingly heavy and makes a robust impression. He has a sufficiently bright keypad lighting which is activated by pressing on the snooze button. The numbers and indicators fluoresce well enough in the dark and are also without lighting easy to read. The drive is very very quiet. But you can not say that you can hear nothing. If you focus on, you can hear it very quiet "purr". But I am even sensitive to noise, but it does not bother me. You hear it in fact only when one is close to it and paying attention. The alarm is a pleasant, increasing beeping. The volume itself does not to, but rather the tone sequence. From gentle "Hey, get up" to "Now out of bed !!" The alarm has no radio function to synchronize the time. But that movement is running apparently so well that I did not have to readjust since purchase. Only for the DST change course. All in all, a good device in this price range. Buy recommendation. Delivery of Amazon as always perfect, almost needless to say.
