Digital Travel Alarm Clock - No Bells, No Whistles, Simple Basic Operation, Loud Alarm, Snooze, Small and Light, ON/Off Switch, 2 AAA Battery Powered, Black

When I need to get up for an excursion while traveling, I hate to rely solely on my phone's alarm. Many hotels no longer supply alarm clocks, and if they do, I often can't figure out how to set the alarm. This one is small, easy to use, each to pack. I like that you can turn it off after the trip is done so it doesn't continue to use up the battery. Was loud enough to serve its purpose.

I absolutely love this clock. The numbers are large. The night light is readable. The alarm is the right quality of sound but not too harsh. It’s simple to set. It is a perfect size. It’s a great price. Thank you.

I bought one of these so I could take all the phone and tablets out of our bedroom, and still know what time it was in the middle of the night, and set the alarm. Using it for travel is just a bonus. (I haven't used it for travel yet.) The clock is very nicely designed and easy to use. When switched to "off" and with the lid shut, pressing the light button won't do anything, so you can put it in your luggage or your pocket without the battery wearing down. Then when you switch it "on" again, it's already showing the right time. My wife finds the alarm noise annoying but for me it's just right, not too loud or too quiet. The reason I'm taking a star off is because of the second one I ordered. I liked the first so much, I ordered a second one for my wife—but the light button on this one doesn't work nearly so well. Whereas on the first one it's very easy to turn on the light, on the second one I got the light button has to be pressed right in the center to work—if you press near the back of the button (the easiest place to aim for), nothing happens at all. This is a quality control issue. I opened up the alarm clock to look and nothing is obviously broken or missing. Possibly later I'll open up the first unit I bought to be able to compare. For now, both work just fine as clocks *and* alarm clocks, but the light on the second unit is harder to turn on that it should be. (My wife doesn't mind, though.) UPDATE: I got another one to keep in my office. The button works fine on this one, but the display is a different type: smaller, thinner numbers than shown in the product image. Photo attached showing the newer one on the left and one of the older ones on the right. The older one is easier to read with fatter numbers; also the numbers shown take up more of the available space since in the older one the first digit isn't a full seven-segment display (since it will only ever be the number "1"). The newer one has four full seven-segment numbers, so the time shown takes up less space (i.e. is shown smaller). I like the old design better and it's much clearer and easier to read at a glance.

The clock is very compact and useful for travel. For a digital travel clock in this price range, it does what it should. I do suggest taking some time to read the manual really quick so you're not confused about the alarm, how it works, and setting it. The clock is hard plastic casing, with blue LED light button that is a bit dim even in low-light but it does only require AA batteries after all. The display is a bit dim in regular light conditions, but this is not intended to be top of the line travel gear. It's a basic clock to set up and use once you familiarize yourself with the buttons on the back/top of the case. Some alarm clocks are too easy to turn off the alarm by accident instead of snoozing it, and this one has some added protection in that you must reach behind the clock for the medium-sized ALARM button to turn it completely off. Hitting the mode button changes between time and alarm mode and will show you the alarm set time which can be changed from there by hitting the set button. Then you adjust the alarm time and date as needed and hitting mode to exit or "confirm." Then you can toggle between your alarm and the actual time. The "alarm on" icon is rather small, and at the top right above the colon between the hour and the minute. Make sure you have the alarm toggled on while setting the alarm. The snooze apparently will go off indefinitely until you turn the alarm off. In large display is the current time (12 or 24 hour choice), and as some nice additional features, it also displays the current date and weekday. There's only one alarm. It starts out quiet and increases in volume and intensity pretty quickly. The alarm is not old fashion "screaming at you alarm" but pulses or beeps. I say a heavy sleeper might want a back-up device to this such as your phone, etc. Don't forget to unlock the clock buttons after you're done for the day and all set for the night, you'll be flabbergasted for quite some time trying to figure out why none of the buttons work ;-) My only complaints this far are minor out outweigh the positives. Firstly, the "alarm set/on" could be made larger and placed on the left side where it's more noticeable. Secondly, I was hoping it would lock you out of the clock buttons on it's own when closed, but it doesn't. So you have to remember to toggle the switch before you relocate your clock, but in this price range, that's not a super-common feature anyway for these clocks. The clock display could be brighter as well as the LED. However, it only uses 2 triple A batteries, so it will be interesting to see how much life I get out of a set of batteries by using it once a day for a week.

I'm in Tasmania, and when my trusty travel alarm clock dating from the 1990s packed it in after 20 years of use, I went looking for another. I was surprised at how difficult it was to locate a simple AAA-powered alarm clock with no bells and whistles. But, eventually, I came across the Travelweys and ordered one from America. It seemed okay on arrival. I even went to the bother of writing some notes on how to use it, and glueing that inside the case (see photo). Isn't that a ridiculous idea itself – having to write notes for how to use an alarm clock. Anyway, the Travelweys went well for a certain amount of time, so I bought two more. Of those two, one of the alarms didn't work on arrival. Can't send it back to America, so, as I am an electronics hobbyist, and had some spare mini-speakers, I pulled the clock apart and replaced the speaker. No go. There was something wrong with the drive circuit. Then gradually I noticed that the buttons were not well designed. You'd press them and sometimes the switch contact would "bounce" – detect two or three contacts for only one physical contact. I'd be setting the alarm, or the time, and the extra contacts would make the setting go past the hours or minutes I wanted. So around I go again (there's no reverse on the time-setting function). And the bounces cause the time to go past the setting again. Extremely annoying. And this began to happen on all three Travelweys. I now use the Travelweys in areas of the house where I don't need to set the alarm, just as timepieces in the garage/workshop that sort of thing. They do keep excellent time. What to replace them with? I ordered a Braun BC08W. After a few months with the Braun, I bought another. No problems with the speaker (gentle increase in volume as it comes on), the buttons never bounce, the Braun is smaller, and it has reverse on the time and alarm setting. Altogether a superior clock, with a superior price -- $55 vs $38 when I purchased. Travelweys -- I suggest giving it a miss. A shocker of an alarm clock. P.S. The red tape on one of the clocks is to tell me that this clock has the faulty alarm.

This is my all time favorite alarm clock. It is my 3 rd one. The first lasted 3 years and the second one lasted over 2 years. I just got my third one and these clocks are small, really easy to set, and work for a long time. A good product.

This clock is very lightweight and simple to use, which I really appreciate. It has a feature that allows you to power it down when not in use to save battery without having to reset the clock when you turn it back on, which will be great for travel. Also, Travelwey's customer service is amazing!

Simple to use. The alarm isn’t very loud.
