The large and clear-read dial is ideal for eyeglass wearers, the elderly but also for all others who are in the morning just been pretty sleepy "look from the laundry".
== Operation:
As befits everyday use for a * * alarm, you need him really no manual because everything is self-explanatory and it's not much also. - Seiko still comes but play it safe and puts precaution a small booklet in several languages (including German) at.
== Equipment:
On the back there is exactly * a * button which both to adjust the clock, and the alarm serves. If the button latched (standard), then you can order the small pointer for moving the alarm time, pulls the knob out a little, then it thus represents the time.
As the clock but a very high Gangenauigkeit has [with me after 4 weeks: about 10-15 seconds deviation per month (3 minutes per year) compared to a radio clock] to display the time hardly more than twice the required anyway in year have to adjust (summer / winter).
The Weckablauf is very simple:
It represents the single switch on the back of the "OFF" position to the "ON" position and rotate (if not already done) yet at the knob to set the alarm hand the desired alarm time. - There is nothing more to do.
At the desired time you will be awakened by a quiet and shortly thereafter significantly louder signal repeated in alternating until you eventually finally pops back drowsily with his open hand somewhere on the top of the alarm clock and so inevitably the present there training button is pressed.
At this moment happen then almost simultaneously three things:
1) The (mostly yes rather unpopular) alarm silenced immediately.
2.) A small lamp comes on and illuminates the large dial so that you can see the same in the dark, what time it is (if you want to see it because and eyes open). -The Lighting remains on only as long as you have the hand on the button to save the battery.
(Speaking of battery: An inexpensive and commercially "R6" or, as the guy has recently been called, "AA", more does not need the alarm There are no expensive coin cells or other special batteries required because you have namely nowadays even care..!)
3.) The electronic alarm clock bongt internally a snooze in a precisely 5 minutes and the whole game begins anew, unless you decide to get up. In the latter case, you push with one hand the switch on the back panel easily from ON to OFF and rest.
What is worth mentioning?
In any case, the self-luminous numerals and hands. They do not permanently, but only when they advance from a light source (can be even normal daylight as well as the already mentioned small lamp early while raising) were irradiated, however:
1) lights what other alarm clocks is not necessarily the rule is very vigorous, and ...
2.) ... they light up even after a long time.
== Processing:
The housing of the alarm clock is indeed made of plastic but very well made.
== Volume:
The alarm itself is not heard nearly, unless it is placed directly on and keeps him quite away from your ear, then you can imagine the noise half of the second hand and half fortuitous.
The volume of the alarm signal on the other hand (begins quietly) is likely even for battle-hardened getting-objector pose a challenge not so much. By to control the volume of the signal itself, but rather by the extremely successful blend of volume and permanence ;-)
== Technology:
Seiko (in Japan something like the Mercedes under the clocks) processed in principle, only in-house quality quartz movements and not from other companies, as unfortunately so many other (also well-known) watch manufacturers is the case.
While this is not necessarily cheap (neither for the manufacturer nor for the customer) but it gives then also something that is unfortunately becoming increasingly rare nowadays: quality.
The second hand, for example, makes this alarm clock is not about "tick, tick, tick ..." or "clack, clack, clack", as in the lower-priced works, but he purrs (almost silently) like a kitten and moves ( without the otherwise usual break after every second), quasi "all at once" slowly and evenly * * on the dial.
So, you see something else actually only really expensive watches but does not expect it not certainly with a 20-Euro alarm.
== Price:
This alarm clock is in my opinion definitely * inexpensive * within the meaning of the word and I can buy the reasons mentioned above therefore recommend without restriction.
== Drawbacks:
Sorry, but I really have not found.
