how is the alarm clock reliability?

As long as you have at least one bar of battery or plug it in mine has never failed in 5 years

The alarm clock is only as reliable as the clock, which randomly decides to fall behind in time. You never know when it'll be the wrong time, unless you carry a second timepiece with you, which defeats a lot of the purpose of having a cell phone these days. I've had the clock stay accurate for as long as 10 days, but I've had it fail on me 4 times in one day. Point is, you never know if you are looking at the correct time. That's unacceptable to me, but Verizon and Casio think it's fine. Casio won't respond to emails anymore, and unless Verizon does something for me, I am gone as a 10+ year loyal customer when this contract is up....

It does. The clock is set every time you plug in your phone to charge, so the time is always accurate. I have been awaken in the middle of the night many times by my 3 yr old daughter setting the alarm without us knowing it.

I believe so. It has the capacity to have an alarm go off four times a day. I was able to void two alarms and have it sound every 12 hrs.

I have had mine for years and years but I can't really answer! I use the alarm sound which will go off ten separate times probably 30 sec. Or so apart. I have had on since around 1978-ish and am only on my second one. I t is set for 4 separate alarms. I love the convenience of being able to grab my alarm and a couple containers when we go to my son's for an overnight. Good size too for the purse don't you agree? If you haven't purchased it yet I suggest you do. Enjoy.

Yes. My 90-yr-old mother only wants to hear the date and time. She never uses the alarm function. She presses a button on top to hear date and time.

I got the ipod alarm function to work about 2 times out of 5. It was so frustrating that I had to return it. I'm guessing that you aren't doing anything wrong, but it's just a flaw in the unit.

Hi, I've not had any reliability issues with them. In fact they last longer than my other earphones.

Seems pretty good to me. It's an LCD with all the viewing constraints of an LCD but I'm happy with using it. What I really like is that in countdown mode, if you miss the alarm, it counts up to show you how late you were. All in all, I'm very happy with the timer. P.s. I'm not short.... :-)

Can't answer that question, the clock never worked for me, other then a regular clock.... I reviewed it as nooooo good.

I'm not exactly qualified to answer your question directly but I can say that it has artificial intelligence and if it detects alarms (i.e. stores or administration buildings) once in a familiar route, it will not constantly beep. For the value and performance, it's the best on the market. Google search top 10 detectors and it's #3 with #1 and #2 costing alot more.

I have had similar issues. My alarm has went off at incorrect times and twice now the alarm did not go off at all. I have since switched to a radio station for the alarm instead of my iTunes. I have not had a problem since.

I have had mine for about year and it has been very reliable. I don't use it every day but fairly often. Flashes are consistent and the built in slave is very sensitive.

Mike, Definitely. While it's plugged in there isn't much of an issue; I've found if the charge runs down or if it's cold (we played ultimate outside during the fall with the clock as timekeeper) that it'll intermittently turn off/on otherwise the clock is good. I don't make much use of the buzzer option (read: I disconnected it) so I'm not sure how loud it is but it's reliable and easily reset.

I have never experienced a false alarm. The unit has a low battery light to tell you when it is time to change the battery. I have used my unit since 10/27/11 and have not needed to install a battery yet. I personally think it is a tremendous value for the money!

If you set the timer correctly it is vey reliable. We went away for 6 days and everything worked just fine. After you set it up just check at each feeding to make sure it is working correctly. After that you are good to go.

I change the battery at least once a year. When the alarm went off the first time a few weeks ago, I checked the battery first. It showed a good charge using my meter, but I went ahead and changed it anyway. The alarm has repeated to go off since the first time, several times a week. I took it down and will replace it with a different product.

Both our children were stomach sleepers and we had no issues with false alarms. The monitor was able to detect movement just fine while on their stomachs.
