Delayed in sounding alarm.
597756
This alarm seems adequate, and the price ($9.45 with free shipping) was okay.  One problem: Unlike some other alarms with sensors that are in direct contact with the floor (like the Zircon water alarm), the Honeywell RWD21 has sensors sitting slightly above the floor.  So the Honeywell is a little delayed in sounding its alarm.  (I tested this Honeywell alarm and a Zircon alarm simultaneously, and I found that when the 2 alarms come in contact with water, the Honeywell does in fact sound its alarm later than the Zircon does).  So I decided to return the Honeywell and replace it with a Zircon.  Thank God for Amazon's awesome, hassle-free return policy!

This is a nice little alarm clock, it looks good and it works well. However, it is not entirely silent if you are cursed with a keen hearing. Instead of the TIC-TOC of usual watches, here you can hear a very faint and much quicker "tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic". As I said, it is a very faint sound, and it probably wouldn't bother most people; but it is something to keep in mind if you are sensitive to such things like unfortunately I am. The issue can be ameliorated or solved by putting the clock over something soft, like cloth for example, because the sound is noticeably amplified by bouncing on a hard surface, such as a wood nightstand.

Good Product Good alarm, there is a problem in the key of operation of the alarm it's needs to force to activate the alarm, everything else is beautiful.
Thank you.
I use this alarm about a month ago. :)

I am currently in an automobile service department waiting on my truck. My keys are 6 inches away from.my phone yet the alarm as hone off numerous times. This is an intermittent problem and has happened in many various locations.  I wish the orbit worked as advertised as it is handy but I'm not convinced it's worth the annoyance.

Alarm button can depress in pocket causing loud alarm that takes three seconds of holding to turn off. It should be harder to turn on. the seat belt cutter protective cover/ key chain holder slips off and falls.

This alarm is loud, and does a great job of waking anyone up. However, sometimes the alarm would not go off, especially after setting a new alarm time or if you hit the snooze button too hard and knock it off your bedstand. I'm not sure if it's a QC issue or if it's due to the analog mechanism, but I went through reviews of SonicAlert products, and it seems that quite a few of them mention time-keeping problems.

Cure time is delayed. I needed fast acting, lightning speed.

The alarm clock looks nice, but mine started randomly triggering alarm in the middle of the night.. It happens every few days and at different times.. it's over 30 days after shipping, so I can't exchange or return it. It will have to go to garbage, I guess. Very frustrating.

Was awakened at 4 am by the loud "battery low" alert, which kept going until I found the speaker and turned the power off.
You could have just used a flashing LED.
Otherwise a good speaker but this 'battery' alert bugs the hell out of me everytime. I wish there was an option to disable the voice prompts like 'connected' - do I need more proof after the music starts playing?

I thought I would like the fact that the alarm starts off slowly and progressively gets louder.  I'm not a heavy sleeper but I am by no means a light sleeper.  The problem is it takes a good 30-40 seconds for the alarm to reach maximum volume.  Then it will beep for another 20 seconds and turn off.  It lasts exactly 1 minute and if you sleep through it, the alarm will not sound again.  I overslept 2 out of the first 3 days.

I was also disappointed in the shipping.  It took 15 days for the product to ship and once it did the tracking wasn't available.  It took an additional 5 days to get to me.

As for the clock it's not a bad product, it just doesn't work for me.  I found the time very easy to read with the backlight on and with the backlight off it keeps the room pitch black so it's not a distraction.  It has the current time, the alarm time, and date all on one screen and all easy to see.  The snooze button is located on the front far left while the alarm off switch is on the far right and on the side of the unit.  There is absolutely no chance to hit the wrong button like many other clocks have.  I like that it's battery powered.  It saves me an outlet and I wouldn't have to worry about brownouts and power outages.  My one concern about the batteries would be that they might die on me, but the manual says that the clock will lose time when the batteries are low.  You should notice your clock is a few minutes slow so it's not something that should sneak up on you.  Unfortunately I will never know as I have decided to buy a different alarm.  If the alarm would just run through until it was manually turned off this would be perfect..

I really really wanted to love this alarm clock, but I can't.  I love the number display and the ability to dim them.  The functions being simple and on the back of the clock are amazing.  The two separate alarm levels are exceptional.  The problem I have is that the alarm is not guaranteed.  Some days it will go off, some it will not.  Some days, it will go off an hour early.  Maybe my alarm is possessed.  Not quite sure.  In any case, loving most of the features, but what is an alarm clock without the alarm?

The clock is starting to move slow, meaning the time has to be reset because it will start showing incorrect time. It is hard to set radio to come on for an alarm.

I bought 2 of these and the actual alarm sound is no longer audible on either one. Whats the point of an alarm ckock if it cant wake you.
