jonathanc Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Finally got fed up with my dodgy alarm clock and its brilliant design of having the Time Zone selector next to the Alarm On/Off switch... Looking of getting myself a new alarm clock and I'm overwhelmed by choices...there are ones which wakes you up gentle via a light, ones that project onto ceilings etc... currently this one takes my fancy : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemNext&item=250832825023&autorefresh=true I think it's really cool as it connects to the internet and updates the time and weather info too Just wondering what everyone's alarm clock looks like or any you can recommend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I've never understood all the gadgetry involving alarm clocks. It's just an alarm lol. Seems most are more like toys than alarms. Mine looks something like this... http://www.faqs.org/photo-dict/photofiles/list/4802/6325digital_alarm_clock_radio.jpg Had it 7 years and it works a treat.

Abz Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I use a combination of my iPhone & Blackberry. I set the iPhone on a soft tone & then the Blackberry on a harsher one 15 mins later. This way I check my emails before I get into work & don't wake up with a heart attack like my old alarm clock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanc Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 Hehe well my alarm clock is the one responsible getting me up every morning (I can be a heavy sleeper ) so it's pretty important. The one I have now (acctim) has a nice snooze function but that's about it. It has a selector that is able to select 3 different timezones (GMT, GMT+1 and GMT+2) that is located right next to the Alarm On/Off button and sometimes I would accidently set the time zone and get up much later Thought about using the iPhone but missius won't allow mobile phones in the bedroom. Radiation she said Saw some pretty funky alarm clocks around so wondering what everyone uses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snooze Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Pure Sensia radio here, but it's way OTT, to be honest - mainly got it because it also plays music off the wireless network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
