Amazing battery alarm clock...no ticking noise and perfect volume alarm!

I love it.  Silent...no ticking noise.  The illumination is fantastic; orange illumination if the alarm is off and green illumination if it is on.  The sensor that activates the illumination is fantastic because it saves the battery...off during the day and on when it gets dark.  The only issue that I have with it...the snooze is only 5 minutes.

Exactly what I was looking for!!!  Dual alarms, 9 minute snooze and life is good!

Works great! Simple. Clear. Bright. Light weight.  It's loud! Scared me half to death on first battery test. No volume adjustment. You can set the voltage level for the alarm to your liking. Prime shipping, got it in 2 days!

This clock turned out to be exactly what I was looking for.  My number one reason for loving it is the dim light! I used to have an alarm clock that would change color based on outside temperature and when it turned blue I could hardly sleep because it would emit this strong light.  This clock has the light turn on as soon as it gets dark, but it is a dim light which wouldn't disturb your sleep. If you need the brighter light you can simply touch the top of the clock and viola! bright light. I also love that it has a temperature reading of the room, which is very accurate.  Most reviewers complained of the quiet noise of the alarm, but I think it is the perfect noise level.  I guess it depends on if you are a heavy sleeper and would require a marching band to walk through your bedroom to wake you up, then this is probably not the alarm for you.  I actually really enjoy the sound it makes as it is not annoying like most alarms, yet it still does the job in waking me up every morning. I also like the snooze function is not a button (my previous clock i had to hit it exactly right to shut it off) but it is just a gentle touch to the top of the clock.  Also, I like that the setting buttons are all on the back of the clock as it makes it look much nicer and cleaner.  It actually looks like a pretty fancy alarm.  This might get annoying for people who have to change their alarm time each day, but it doesn't bother me at all. Once you get used to where the buttons are it becomes even more easier to set. Overall I highly recommend this and would buy again if anything were to happen to my current one (hopefully that won't happen).

If you're looking for an alarm clock that looks great, has (at least) 2 alarms and doesn't wake you like an F16 is going through your bedroom, this clock is perfect.  The adjustable brightness of the face and the "Humane Waking System" are fantastic features.  I didn't think the very gentle beeping of the alarm set low would wake me; however, it has only gone beyond the initial volume one time.  It took just at one hour for the time to set when I intially plugged it in. I plugged it in, walked away and finished setting it up when the time had set. Changing the setting to my time zone was very simple and I've had absolutely no problem figuring out any of the features. I highly recommend this alarm clock. This clock should be able to accommodate what anyone is looking for in a higher end alarm clock.

If you just need an alarm clock to tell the time and get you out of bed get this one.  It more than gets the job done.  I was looking for a bedside clock, no radio, no projection, no gimmicks, and after a very very long internet search came across this nice little clock.  If you're just looking for a basic alarm clock for a low price this is the one to get!  It has more bells and whistles than a regular clock, 9 minute snooze (of course it MUST have the SNOOZE feature), automatic reset/off alarm button, on/off alarm button, and loud/soft alarm noise button.  This really will look attractive on your bedside/living room end table/kitchen counter and it comes in different colors too.  The black looks very attractive on my bedside table.  It has good heft/weight to it too, giving it a feeling of a quality made product that will last for years.  The brightness of the display is perfect, not too dim, not too bright.  I was looking at analogue clocks but this one is a beauty compared to the two previous analogue clocks I had and has a PM light indicator, Alarm On indicator, and a low back up battery indicator besides.  The alarm will go off for two hours before automatically turning off (leave home/apt. and forget to turn it off), and the snooze feature will go off every 9 minutes as long as you keep pressing it, and the feature will automatically turn itself off after 2 hours (do you really need more than that, reset the alarm).  It is nice and compact so it doesn't take up too much room.  Besides this clock is electric so batteries are no longer a concern.  This is a nice quality, attractive product that seems like it will last a very long time (much better quality than my Timex battery powered analogue clock, much better looking, and it's both heavier and smaller at the same time).  Other reviews state the snooze button is located too close to the alarm off button (may accidently press it instead), but I have had absolutely no problem distinguishing between the two buttons, especially given their size, and it isn't even a concern to me.  I should also include that I thought analogue was the way to go, but the digital display on this is of high quality, is easy on the eyes at night, and having to reach over to press a button to see the time in the dark is no longer an issue.  So get this clock it's a no-brainer with more than enough features to ensure this is the alarm clock you will be glad you purchased given the price.  I think it's worth more than I paid for it!

This alarm is fantastic! I love that it is wireless! I got it for my mother and she fiddles with any cords, tubes, etc. She has no idea she is sleeping in an alarm! It is extremely reliable! At last, some sleep for me! The the adjustable volume is great, and doesn't give me a heart attack when it goes off in the middle of the night! I love the portability... Battery or plug options.
My ONLY minor complaint is that the pad is plastic. It makes very loud crinkly noises when patient is moving, and it also has a tendency to slide out of position. But it is large enough, that even when it is not in it's ideal spot, it still does its job. I very highly recommend it!

This is the best alarm clock I have ever owned.  Thank you to whomever put this together.

I have suffered through no less than 4 crappy alarm clocks that have all been hard to use, fragile and have turned into yard sale specials.  I was willing to pay whatever amount it took to find an alarm clock that didn't break after 1 month.  I had given up on the alarm clock being usable by a human.

This alarm clock is as easy to use as an alarm clock can get, sounds great and works like a charm.  I'm super happy with it and you will be too.  Don't bother saving money on the other alarm clocks.  They will disappoint you as they did me.  I would have saved more money just buying this one from the beginning.  If only I had known it existed before I purchased the 4 before it!  Arghhhhhh!

Only downside is there is way too much packaging.  There were plastic bags all over when I opened it.

Although I never received my order from this site, amazon was very good about crediting my account (thanks amazon). However I did find it on another site (target), and I am so glad that I purchased this alarm clock. It has ALL the features I was looking for plus some, battery back up (a must for me), dual alarm (great feature), and I love that fact that I can wake to either buzzer, alarm, or CD. I use the CD and it is so nice to wake up to one of my favorite artists. It was easy to set up, it has a nice sound, and I love the dual alarm (no longer have to reset the alarm in the morning). I have owned a few alarm clocks in my day and this is by far the "BEST" one I've owned yet!!

Every Day like most people I used to dread waking up to that ear piercing sound that was emitted from my alarm clock. It put me in a bad mood for the rest of the day; you are suddenly hurtling back into reality whilst the alarm clock snatches you cruelly away from your dreams. I was casually browsing Amazon one day (I have a habit of creating Wish Lists of weird and wacky things) when I stumbled across the `Now & Zen Alarm Clock' after reading the description and few reviews around the internet I was intrigued, I took the plunge and ordered it not really knowing what to expect.

Now & Zen have been designing timepieces since 1995 and I have visited their shop in Boulder numerous times, all of their clocks were incredibly beautiful. What made me wonder the most is exactly how an alarm clock under this brand would actually work; you would be combining an ugly artificial sound with a beautiful time keeper. It did work though.

The way this clock works is by playing soothing chimes rather than harsh artificial sounds, sounding similar to wind chimes they gradually awake you from your slumber. This small chime is actually built into the clock and therefore is not digitally created. The clock then strikes again 3 minutes later if you have yet to awake, the time gap between chimes changes over 10 minutes to eventually having a frequency of every 5 seconds. This will wake you up gradually meaning that you are not all cranky in the mornings (something which my wife still suffers from though unfortunately!).

I absolutely love the sound this tiny time piece produces, it's beautiful like the look of the alarm clock, I am no longer abruptly waken by what I like to call `The Cold Water Treatment'. Using this alarm clock I really do feel much more rested when I wake up in the mornings (it's the waking up gradually that does this). I must admit like a previous reviewer I also used to wake up a long time before my alarm went off because I dreaded it so much. I don't dread my alarm going off half as much now (well I do, but you know....work and all of that!)

If you dread waking up every day then you can do no better than purchasing one of these alarm clocks, last year I bought 2 or 3 additional ones to hand out as Christmas presents because I know that my friends and family would enjoy them, and so far feedback has been incredibly positive! Good Job `Now & Zen' you get 5 Thumbs up from me! (Well Amazon Stars at Least, I don't have 5 thumbs!)

This clock is perfect! I love the fact that I can plug my phone or FitBit directly into it and not have a lot of cords coming out of my wall. I did purchase a pack of short USB cords to eliminate extra hanging out of the clock. The display has a high and low option which is nice when your eyes have been in the dark. I use the low and it doesn't blind you when a person looks at it. The battery back up is handy for power outages and even unplugging it from the wall; the time still is maintained and prevents you from having to reset the clock. It is super easy and user friendly! I currently use mine at home but just may buy another to take along on our trips. If you want a basic no bells and whistles clock this is the way to go. I pondered Bluetooth but typically need my phone charging more than anything. It is great on quality!

Wow. This is seriously the best alarm clock I've ever had. My husband and I both have one.

It's lightweight, I love the big numbers and it's easy to set. Most of all, it has the gentlest beeping to wake you up. It starts out slowly, then increases a little. It's not so soft I sleep through it but it's persistent enough to get me up. Let's put it this way - it's the first alarm clock I've had that I didn't throw across the room because it was completely obnoxious.

I also like the fact it has a sensor that makes it slightly brighter at night so you can see it without having to push a button or fuss with it. I've accidentally dropped it on the floor (twice) and it hasn't cracked or stopped working. When you set the alarm you see the time on the right as well as the date and a little bell and "Zz" appear to let you know it's set. The batteries seem to last a good long time, too. My husband likes to set his on 24-hour military time and I keep mine on standard time.

Perfect clock for your nightstand. I have had this for several months now and I really like it. It makes no sound while the hands are moving and it looks very well made. The alarm on button (see the red button on the top of the clock) is flush with the frame when not on and when you press it to turn the alarm on it pops up and stays up. This is very smart because it keeps the clock's aesthetic when the alarm is not on and when you are trying to find the button in the dark to turn of the alarm you can feel it as it is sticking up. The alarm is plenty loud enough to wake you up, but not a grating sound. The lit dial is nice and not too bright (you can turn the light off if you want anyway). Highly recommended.

I purchased this clock about 1 month ago, based my purchase on both price and brand. I own several other Sony products, and love them all, however was particularly surprised by how well this alarm clock is put together. It offers dual alarms, two levels of LED dimming, and several radio presets. The sound quality is quite impressive, and the local AM and FM signals all come in strong.

This is easily the nicest alarm clock I've ever come across, and strongly recommend it to anyone.

This timer/alarm is AMAZING!!!!! I'm a VERY DEEP sleeper and I sleep through my alarms(all 3 of em). This wakes me up in 2 seconds flat and I bolt straight up in bed and hurry to go across the room and cut it off. It has an ear piercing siren that I don't think ANYONE could sleep through! I haven't been late or overslept since receiving this a week ago! I like the way it is made and it even features pre wake alarms at 10 and 5 minutes before your set alarm. Perfect for travel or for daily use. Can also be used as a signal for help if needed!
