- The setting of the alarm time is somehow inconvenient and may partly be a pain because you the keys often several times to press until you respond. The two alarm buttons are way too small, especially when you consider that they are usually operated by the thumb when holding the alarm clock in his hand. Mostly you have to hold down the key a few seconds before responding. And then you have up to the plus or minus button to eg set the hour, then back down to the small alarm button, so that I can set the minutes, then back up to the precise minute setting and then back down to the alarm button to the selected to fix timing. When I press the alarm button when the last act a little too long, then the alarm setting will be reset to "Off". The whole back-and-forth Gedrücke is not an optimal solution for setting the alarm time. And it can be annoying when you press a little too long and the setting is off. And it's really time consuming. In addition, the pushing sensation is unpleasant, somehow too hard. And then you hear each time you press the controls a distinct clicking sound, which the partner who perhaps already asleep, quickly gets out of sleep. And that is some keys (the snooze button), several times to press over the years, I have already mentioned earlier. So, the whole Weckmechanik is poorly designed, it must be said so clearly.
- The display is too dark. When you press the snooze button light or the dark blue background is indeed unobtrusive, but you look lying in bed at an altitude for alarm over, one recognizes not much. But it can be seen all good when viewed from above, because the front is inclined slightly to the rear.
Of course, the alarm also has advantages, and so I had him for some time in use:
+ Two alarms, which are also clearly indicated;
+ Big fat numbers;
+ Good readability when viewed from above;
+ Faster reception of radio time or now-second transition to daylight saving time;
About the alarm is debatable:
O Although there are more pleasant (such as the right alarm when TFA bingo), but also the most annoying. Too bad he is not starting to rise from softly, but always identical. And a shame that there is only one and not two or more different alarm tones, from which you can choose the most beautiful.
Conclusion: The over time more and more annoying Weckmechanik takes a soon the joy of an alarm clock, which certainly has to have its positive aspects. In recent TFA bingo setting the alarm times is compared with the TFA 60.2500er almost a pleasure, to say so to speak.
