Casio Collection Wake Up Timer Black Alarm Clock TQ-140-1EF

I had a similar alarm clock to this one (not a Casio one though - if I remember right I got it from Wilkinsons!) but it got broken recently when I accidentally knocked it off my bedside table and it totally fell apart. So, I needed another alarm clock and decided to get this one because a) it seemed compact and functional, without unnecessary functions that I would rarely, if ever use, b) I prefer this 'normal' type of alarm clock to the digital ones, c) Casio is a well known brand and c) it wasn't over-priced! It arrived this morning and I'm so happy with it! It's exactly as it looks in the photo (the black one), although the green numbers and the tips of the hands are much brighter than depicted in the photo. The green almost looks fluorescent so I'm sure I will be able to see the time in the dark! The clock is a really nice size - compact but not too small - and it seems quite substantial. It came with a battery which I popped in, not necessarily expecting it to work as I thought it could be an old one, but it works fine. To set the time and the alarm, there's a little button / dial at the back. To set the alarm just turn that and set it to the right time. Then pull the little slider thingy on top of the clock up and the alarm is set (push the slider down to turn the alarm off). To set the time just pull that button out a bit and turn it to get the right time setting. When you've set the time, just push the button back in to the original position. The alarm is nice and clear and not startlingly loud, thank god, but loud enough to wake most people up unless perhaps they're the kind of sleeper who is almost totally dead to the world when they're asleep but the alarm should even wake them up! This is just perfect for me - a well priced, nice quality, straightforward, functional, compact and nice looking little clock! I don't see the point in wasting money on bigger, clunky, more 'hi-tech' and costly alarm clocks, especially the digital ones with all the stupid settings that I would hardly, if ever, use anyway. This one is great and it seems like it should last me for quite awhile unless, of course, I knock it off the bedside table like I did with my last alarm clock and it falls apart! I'll be more careful in future though!

For those seeking a no-frills digital alarm clock that gets the job done, the Casio Wake Up Timer fits the bill. This compact, lightweight clock has a delightfully retro aesthetic reminiscent of classic Casio designs from decades past. Right out of the box, setting the time and alarm is refreshingly straightforward using the basic button controls. The bright green LED display is easy to read at a glance, even from across the room. I also appreciated the inclusion of a handy stopwatch function for basic timing needs. Battery life is excellent, with the clock running for well over a year before needing replacements. The snooze button is satisfyingly large and responsive for those bleary-eyed mornings. And the nightlight feature bathes the screen in a subtle glow, though it's not excessively bright. On the downside, the plasticky build quality feels quite basic, even for the affordable price. Dropping this on a hard surface would likely cause damage. The beeping alarm is also fairly tinny and abrupt, lacking gradual wake-up sounds or radio functionality. But for a simple bedside alarm without smartwatch integration or fancy apps, this Casio gets the job done reliably. The retro design aesthetic charms with its minimalist, old-school vibe. Just don't expect any premium bells and whistles. If you're looking for an affordable, straightforward timekeeping solution to ensure you wake up on time, this basic Casio alarm clock is a decent, nostalgia-inducing option. It may lack refinement, but sometimes you just need an uncomplicated wake-up call.

I bought this because I needed an alarm clock for University when I moved in, so I'm just going to list the good and bad points I found with this product to make it easier for you to decide whether it is right for you! Good: > Small and compact > Quiet ticking > I found that the numbers glowed in the dark (only sometimes, not sure how that happens) > Keeps time perfectly > Easy to set and can see minutes on the inner circle (however not labelled) > Alarm goes off for a decent amount of time until turned off. Bad: > The instructions aren't informative, I should mention that it took a few moments of messing around to realise how this clock worked. (What I discovered: To set the alarm, twist the cog on the back until the smaller silver hand is at the right time. To set the clock's time, pull the cog out of the back and twist until the other 3 hands are in the correct place and then push cog back into the back) This is probably quite obvious for most people with clocks however. > The clock is very small, can fit right in your pocket actually. > Alarm sound can be quite annoying at times but that's what you get when you go simple really. Overall I really like this clock, I would definitely buy another one if it broke and it's so adorable and small, it fits just about anywhere, the simplicity is great and I would recommend this to everyone!

La précision Casio, tient dans la poche, bon petit réveil avec alarme, bien pratique à la maison, en déplacement et en voyage. Livré avec une pile. Parfait !

Really great alarm clock. It is clearly an alarm clock that prioritizes practicality over aesthetics. It is not very beautiful, let's say it, but it is very practical. Its alarm works impeccably, the switch which is placed as a push-button above the case is amazing (this is a feature that is rarely found in modern alarm clocks, usually to turn off the alarm you have to activate a small switch placed behind and I find that bad). You can also see the time subtly in the dark, the alarm clock is very small and can therefore easily be taken on a trip. Beware though that it still makes noise, but I guess most people consider this a charm of analog clocks. As I said, it is super practical but it is really not a device made for decoration.

Compatta, molto leggibile, una bella sveglietta analogica ad un prezzo molto buono
