20 Best Quality Wind Up Alarm Clock (2023 Updated)

The glow in the dark hands stop glowing after 2 or 3 hours of darkness. The alarm setting is not accurate – several minutes before or after it is set for. I doesn’t work well at all if it is set for 15 minutes after the hour or 15 minutes before the hour.

I wanted a clock that doesn’t make an audible tick to replace a clock I’ve had for many years. This clock is a suitable replacement and doesn’t have any glaring lights – as in digital clocks. It does “what it says on the tin” The look is great and really does resemble a retro clock but the quality isn’t quite as good as my old one.

The only thing we wish it had would be the numbers on the clock would also glow in the dark, not just the hands. Doing the night when one has to get up to use the bathroom one would like to see the time, because one is half asleep and would make it easier to read.

The clock has big numbers and hands, which is great to have on a small clock, so I do recommend it this item to anyone who need a great clock with an alarm.

Clocky is a great alarm clock for people with sleep disorders like me. My narcolepsy makes getting out of bed difficult but w clocky I at least wake up and can attempt to stay out of bed. if I have the motivation that morning lol.

I think for the average person w sleep issues it could be great but my sleepiness seems to overpower my desire to turn it off most days. That’s not a fault on clocky though! I did have some issues with getting it to work after about only a month but when I finally messaged customer service about it they were quick to respond and detailed in their help.

As for using the product itself it’s pretty self explanatory but can be a little confusing with adjusting certain settings i. e. snooze. I definitely recommend glancing at the manual first. No volume adjustment either but I don’t have a need for it! Regardless, when clocky works it works great, and it feels good to know the company is there to help you asap if you need it.

I have struggled with keeping a normal sleeping schedule my entire life. A month or so ago, it got so bad that I slept through hours of alarms only to wake up after sunset and hate myself, so I bought this alarm.

I put the little thing halfway across the room and set it for 9am. It has multiple sounds that play seemingly randomly and every single one is loud and annoying. Even the sound of the wheels moving is annoying, like a kid’s toy car.

I hate it so much. Now I have to get out of bed (which I’ve done in the past with my phone across the room but just went back to bed), fumble around to get the little guy, then press the right thing to turn it off.

By the time I’ve done all that, I’m actually awake enough to force myself not to return to bed. I haven’t failed to get up by 9:03 since I got it like a month ago. I love this horrible, adorable little alarm clock.

I got the white and the black clocky. Cute sounds remind me of a famous blue and white intergalatic robot. The fact that it jumps off the night stand and runs away forces me to get out of bed. but I can easily turn it off and climb back in.

Not Clocky’s fault, though! I haven’t yet explored the snooze options (I have the snooze option turned off) but it’s possible that might help get me out of bed for good (after chasing it down multiple times).

Definitely take the time to read the instructions since the button layout and labels aren’t intuitive. You’ll also need to find a small screwdriver so have that ready to go along with your 4x AAA batteries!.

Great Clock. Especially Loud. And Keeps Accurate Time. Great Clock. Great For Deep Sleepers.It Will Get You Out Of Bed ASAP.

Battery operated, no wind up, very loud alarm, my old wind up kept me up with the loud ticking, it finally went out after 20 years so I bought this new one, fist it’s very quiet no ticking, secondly there is a backlight button, I can finally see the time without having to turn on a light, hit the round button on back and instant time is visible in pitch black.

Fantastic alarm clock.

Alarm is weak and alarm set is not consistent. My purchase may simply be an exception to a good timepiece. It does keep good time.

We were initially optimistic on trying the features Loftie offers. Unfortunately, we experienced nothing but problems. 1) The initial set up in connecting to Wifi to update Loftie kept failing about 75% of the way through the process.

Finally after several attempts – more than 24 hours – the set up process completed. OK – seriously. why should it be so hard to set up a basic alarm clock? This initially left the first negative impression.

2) Once using the sounds and setting the volume, we were not able to easily set the proper volume. The sounds intended to play at night to help you fall asleep were way too quiet and we couldn’t hear them.

Once we increased the volume – hoping we had it now correct for the morning, the morning alarm volume was WAY too loud and would jolt us awake. Not quite the experience we had expected given its ability to play soothing nature sounds.

Again, we tried many times to find the right adjustment. After 2 weeks of constant frustration, we are returning it and now seeking something better. This should be a simple item and should “just work”.

The design of this is lousy and way too complicated. Fortunately, the company has made it easy enough to return it for a complete refund and they cover the shipping costs to return it as well.

Although this clock is aesthetically beautiful and sounds great in theory the technology is lacking compared to what I was anticipating from Loftie’s advertisements. The clock does not have as wide of a variety of sounds as I would have hoped.

The alarms don’t allow to to control specific variables, such as snooze time or volume for the wake up tone vs alarm tone independent of each other. The Loftie app has difficulty with changes sticking, for example if I change the alarm time and hit save the change does not actually save or reflect on the clock itself.

I usually have to resolve this by unpairing and repairing or powering off my Loftie. Again, in theory Loftie sounds amazing. But the software is really lacking. For where it’s at in it’s product and software development the price is pretty steep.

I wouldn’t recommend this to friends or family at this time. If I was able to still return mine I probably would until drastic improvements have been made.

I like that Loftie has the combination a white noise machine, Bluetooth speaker, nightlight and alarm clock in one low-profile device. My nightstand looks clean and minimalist. I like that I can completely black out the face of the clock at night.

Things they can improve: there have been a few times that it automatically updated just before my alarm was set to go off, which was strange. If it weren’t for my cats waking me up, I would have been late.

I wish there were an internal room thermometer. For someone like me who is extremely sensitive to temperature changes, it would be so helpful to have it tell me if the room is too warm or cold for sleeping properly.

I wish there were more soothing options for nature sounds. I like to read before bed and listen to “Redwoods” but most of the other nature sounds are too artificial sounding for me.

While not entirely quiet it has no ticking. Alarm bell will wake the dead, might be too loud for some. Luminous hands work quite well, and when they finally are hard to see in the morning there’s a light button.

Clock runs slower when battery gets low (no sudden death).

This travel clock had a loud bell alarm which is good for waking those who have trouble hearing. It’s a little disappointing that it is so large to easily pack in luggage. Otherwise and excellent choice.

Excellent clock with an on/off light that is controlled by an easily accessible switch at the top. Too bad the luminous dials become impossible to read when the lights are off for an hour or so.

This would be a good travel alarm clock, or a handy little back-up alarm. It has a decently loud alarm (electronic beep). It takes 1 AA battery. I love that it’s a basic little alarm clock: No plugging in, No charging docks, No blutooth nonsense.

You use dials on the back to set the clock and alarm hand, there is a button on top to kill the alarm. The battery means that a power outage won’t ruin your morning, or get you in trouble with your boss! THE ONLY CON: the clock face is really small.

If you’re nearsighted, or morning-fuzzysighted, you kind of just have to take the buzzer’s word for the time. I hope this company comes out with a larger version of this great little clock – their target demographic needs a BIGGER display!.

the photo clearly illustrates a yellow green housing. The mint green I received is a light blue/turquoise color. You need to make sure the images accurately show the right color.

Got this as a gift. Wanted a little bigger but I should have looked at the dimensions in the product overview.

I bought this when my LG gave out and I was waiting for a repair estimate. The laundry is not cheap either, so I thought I might as well put my money into something I get to keep. This puts very clean clothes! First load, accidentally brushed against water outlet hose and left the pool, dripping water all over the floor, causing concern about an electric shock.

No kidding when they say to keep children and pets away from it. Water out of the hose fast and powerful, so be careful. Secure the hose with perhaps a small band of Velcro, to something close, so do not go out and cause all kinds of misery.

Don’t oversoap (powder use), do not overload and stay close. I would describe the ability of this thing so small emergency loads. Perfect for a college student any time, you can keep a family looking for a little time, but not much more.

I put 2 large bath towels and a washclothes (which I used to clean the water on the floor) and I felt like pushing in terms of capacity. But they were wet and heavy. It was pretty easy to put together and very easy to level.

In short, a good quality product in terms of the wash basket and the available settings. The sides are plastic was not too concerned about, but is portable. It’s powerful and relatively quiet. Also perfect for washing delicate garments, separated, etc, while the machine is making great most demanding loads.

However, if it is to be used that way, it does take a little work to set it and drain it when finished. In all honesty, at some point, you will probably decide it’s too much work to do regularly when I have a working machine, and kept it until the next emergency.

But I’m definitely not going to return, either! I think also it can help keep the day with clothes, if you have a machine running long cycles.

Originally planned to buy a Whynter BR-1211DS beef dry aging but decided to give it a try this unit because the Whynter was exhausted and usually lasts about $ 80 more expensive. There is a great review of “Adam” on the Amazon list for BR-1211DS Whynter entering the process, so it is not immersed in IT here.

Observations: 1. The temperature does not go as low as indicated. With assembly 34F mines, temperature cycling of air between 36F and 40F. A probe into the meat stuck stabilized at 37. 5. This is good for dry aging: Just know that you can not count on the digital display.

2. The buttons are not really buttons. The instrument panel is printed on soft cloth and controls are not very satisfactory to the press because no touch feedback. 3. The top rack is shorter due to the instrument panel; It is 5 inches tall.

That’s still enough to squeeze in a boneless rack of ribs; Costco mine was on the large side and stood at 4. 5 inches height. Overall, I am very satisfied. I reckon if I had used my space more efficiently if you ask the butcher to cut to a specific size, there could be in the form of a roast 16+ pounds in each rack.

For reference, my photo shows a roast fraction of 22 pounds in two, with each half on a shelf.

Bought it for our daughter in law for xmas

Classic Alarm Clock – White Gold

It is really cute and well made. I like how easy it is to read. The size was perfect for my bathroom shelf. It is not silent however. I got it to use in my bathroom though so I am ok with that. I don’t think that I could sleep with its sound.

Just something to consider if you need silence to sleep.

Cute white-face analog clock. Had it about a week and like it a lot. I hope itll continue to keep accurate time. That has been the issue Ive had with other purchases of clocks like thisnot sure what brand.

This clock is made from a more well known brand so Im hoping that will mean the product lasts long after the box and receipt are long gone. Clock comes in many colors and is a great size to sit on a book shelf or desk or b a TV.

This is the second Westclox alarm I have purchased in the past month. I had to return the first one because the alarm didn’t always work. It would sound properly one day, then not sound at all the next.

This one worked properly for six days and now it is doing the same thing the first one did. I will not a Westclox clock again!.

Looks just like the photo!! Very cute little clock and fit into the space just like I’d hoped! I was a little disappointed that there’s no option for the light to stay on – you just push a button for the light – as soon as you let up on the button the light goes off.

Very quiet!.

The clock is very cute and nostalgic. (4 stars) It is an Alarm clock but I thought the alarm would be the Bells on the top. The ALARM IS NOT LOUD AND NOT BELLS. I need those bells to wake up. I will keep it just the same.

I bought a red one before, and thought I would change to blue. However, when I saw it I exchanged it for a red one. My personal taste was a solid color. It works great.

The Newgate table clock is a very neat piece. I had my concerns about the quality but confirm that the piece is very beautifully manufactured. There is the classic alarm ring which I love and the smooth sweep is fascinating.

Great looking clock, great sounding clock (loud ringing bells definitely do the wake-up trick), but unfortunately those bells are most likely not going to be ringing at the precise time you want them to.

Why? Because this is a clock that sacrificed function for design. If the bells don’t have you wanting to throw the darn thing to its brutal death against the nearest wall, the inefficiency of setting the alarm for a precise time surely will.

It’s diabolical. Best you can hope for is to set it with 5-10 minutes of the actual wake-up time you want. Newgate let us down.

The clock is a throwback to a different time. We love the design, the alarm is loud so you will not sleep through it and it keeps perfect time. Ease of ordering as well as an affordable price with the Magnolia name to back it!.

I have used lumie products for more than 30 years. The range of products has increased but the quality has gone down. This clock is a case in point. It has the basic functionality that you would expect (the fade-in sunrise function, a display that is not too bright during the night) but the manufacturers have inexplicably added a alarm that increases in tempo if you don’t turn it off very quickly.

The experience is like being hit around the head with a baseball bat. None of the clocks that I bought in the past had this function, and none of the cheaper clocks in the range do it either. It is as if the manufacturers added it to punish you for not buying a more expensive option.

Can we just have a basic model that has the essential functionality, please? NB it is worth noting (because this is the mistake that we already made) that the Sunrise Alarm does not even have the fade-in sunrise function: the light comes on in steps that jerk you awake.

Why would lumie even sell such a product?.

I bought this alarm because I was returning to the office & knew I couldn’t rely on naturally waking up in time anymore once commute etc is factored in. I couldn’t face going back to that jarring iPhone alarm ! Anyway I read all the reviews – thought it’s too good to to be true and ordered it anyway (in the Black Friday sale) – it’s a lot to spend & I did worry about it but honestly it’s one of the BEST investments I’ve made in the last few years.

I even set it on days I don’t have to get up because I love waking up to the light and the birds and I set it a bit earlier on the days I do have to get up to so I can lie and listen to it for 5 mins as it makes me smile.

I love the sunset feature as well & use it most nights with the thunderstorm or crickets sound. Also the digital display can be set so that it doesn’t show at night unless you tap the lamp. This was important to me because I need complete darkness to sleep & also I don’t like clock watching at night so it’s perfect.

Basically I couldn’t do without this alarm now :-).

OK product but could be better. 1/ Illuminated numbers are too bright for me, even when dimmed. In a dark room when your eyes are adjusted to that, there’s a significant pool of light from the clock 2/ Control buttons such as +/- aren’t illuminated at all, making it more difficult to find them in the dark.

The glow from the main display makes this harder, not easier. If these were very gently lit, it would make them easier to find 3/ Why do you have to set the alarm every night? Never had to do this on any other clocks, it needs a setting where you get the same sequence every morning Overall: Product Management need to be more customer-centric.

This is the second Lumie we’ve had, we bought the top-of-the-range 750DAB last year and returned it because the snooze wouldn’t work no matter where you tapped or hit it, or how hard!.

Product is really nice and loud – but the directions are required to use the product – it is nothing you can figure out on your own – and believe me, if you set off the alarm without having a handle on the instructions, you are in trouble – you will be pulling off the battery case to shut the thing off.

While the options for the machine are nice, again, it is not easy to use – you have to slide a switch here, hold down two keys there. Love the product and a great item to bug a child who refuses to get up, but be prepared for the child to throw the alarm out the door, and then go back to sleep.

Just getting some kids out of bed is enough. However, after a couple of times hiding the alarm in the room, I haven’t had to use it. It has promise, but I have scanned the directions AND copied them and pasted them to the back of the alarm.

I’ve used one of these for years and it always works great. This is the only alarm clock I have had that is loud enough to consistently wake me from the deepest sleep. It’s absolutely not kidding LOUD.

That said, I have read in some reviews that the clock jumps ahead when cancelling the alarm. This is because cancelling the alarm requires pressing the same 3 buttons that set the clock. I have found that this will not occur if you press the key button on the front LAST while holding the other two in.

Having learned that, it’s not a problem. Also, you will have to set the alarm each time it is used. It does not remain set each day like most do. This is good though because as loud as this thing is, you do NOT want it to go off accidentally if you plan to sleep in.

the clock is perfect! if u woulndt awake after the ring! ur arent be alive if u arent still listen the max out sound when are u sleeping ur neighborth honest here that and knock so long that u wakeup.

but if not they call the fire depardment after the firealarm ringtone and the fireman open ur door with a picaxe and than are u certain wakup if u got the 20. 000 euro bill for the wrong rescue mission u will not sleep also the next time because u realy need to save much money without a good liabilityinsurance.

This clock ticked (pardon the pun) all the boxes except one. Overall it is stylish, easy to use, has a reasonably loud alarm. It could have – but doesn’t – a dimmer for the display at night. Otherwise, I like it just fine.

Everything that is good that is said below is all true. But the working of the battery backup is sort of nonsensical. I thought at first the backup was defective because: 1. I set the clock while it was plugged in.

2. The batteries were also in. 3. I pulled the plug. 4. The display went black. Oh oh, I thought. 5. I plugged it back in and the time was still as set and ticking. So I read the instructions. It clearly says that the battery backup allows the time and alarm setting to be maintained internally but the display will not be visible.

That is so silly. If the battery can keep the time and alarm setting going, the time display should be visible as well. What good is it to look at a black display , not know what time it is but know that at some point it will come back again and THEN you can tell what time it is.

Silly silly.

EXCELLENT alarm clock! I bought two other, more expensive brands before this one. They were brands I’d never heard of and much more expensive. TIMEX has always been tried and true. This clock is so easy to set.

I love the way the alarm starts softly then the sound level increases until you hit Snooze. I also like the low-battery indicator. It’s just the right size and the digital light isn’t too bright.

My husband has to take medication at 1:30 AM and at 4:30 AM every night. He sets 2 of these clocks for those times to waken him. (We have a different but similar large double alarm clock he has to get up and walk to to get his pills thus he can’t just turn the little clocks off and go back to sleep but because it has to be far enough to force him to get up, it is not loud enough to wake him).

His needs dictate minimal thought, ease of use, and reliability. These are battery operated and set time and date themselves and don’t fail us during power outages or when we are camping. We are snowbirds who prefer minimal packing and light travel so we have the exact same set-up in each home.

These alarm clocks sit nicely, have a great light when you need it but it does not blind sleepy eyes, is loud enough but not too loud to disturb me, and is SOOOOOO easy to set and operate. We even have a set we keep in our luggage when we travel to friends and family.

Standardizing the clocks and the process has enabled him to quickly fall back to sleep. These clocks even come with batteries. The buttons and lever to set are easily large enough for sleepy, large fingers to manipulate.

You can even easily turn off daylight savings time and not have to Gerry-rigg it when traveling. We love these!.

I searched long and hard for a battery operated alarm clock that does not have a blue or white light. I also like that it automatically sets the time. NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS: The button on the top of the clock to turn on the light makes a very loud clicking noise.

This should be a soft-touch rubber type of button that is easy to press with no noise. The design is top heavy. It needs to be a long rectangle shape instead of a tall square. This would also allow the display to have a nicer look (as opposed to looking crammed together).

It needs a dimmer option to be able to check the time without the light being so very bright.

I had to replace previous long-lived battery alarm clock because it stopped working. I like a battery alarm because if the power goes off even for a minute, your alarm will still get you up for work.

I made a thorough search of available battery alarms both in store and online and I chose this one because it appeared to be much sturdier. I was happy when it arrived that it is in fact sturdy and has a wider baser so it is not tippy.

The alarm is relatively quiet but it has a couple of quick bursts and then more that seem to be louder and spaced out more. It wakes me very quickly and therefore doesn’t disturb others. I could not get the automatic time set to work while setting it up.

I thought that would be a nice feature but setting time manually is fine, once I figured out how to do it. I like the very large display and the room temperature as well. Pressing the large button on the top either back lights display or turns off alarm when ringing.

It is too early to tell about battery life, but overall I am very happy. A pouch was included for suitcase packing.

I ordered the brass clock with a black face. It’s a great little clock for a living room table: easy to read – even from across the room; is substantial in weight; and has a clean, contemporary look.

For those of you searching for an alarm clock, the alarm is crescendo-style and there IS a snooze feature as described. The black button on top sets the snooze function in 4-minute increments. I’m really surprised that none of the other reviewers mentioned the packaging of this clock.

It arrived in a Leff Amsterdam box that was obviously designed by a disgruntled employee. There were no directions on the box describing how to free the clock without destroying the packaging, thus ensuring a difficult return – should that be necessary.

It took two STEM-educated individuals armed with an X-acto knife, a screwdriver, and a cake-icing spatula almost 20 minutes to open the box – and we did a pretty good job of destroying the box in the process.

Order the clock – it’s great! – and open the box with abandon! Or give it an 8-year-old to figure out, lol! You won’t need to return it.

This clock is lightweight and on the small side so it looks great anywhere I place it. The alarm sound is not too loud so I like that too- yet loud enough to hear. It looks beautiful in my bathroom. I found it quite easy to replace the battery.

Some clocks are difficult even it come to changing batteries. This clock is pretty and functional. I am very happy with my purchase!.

I got the copper colored clock. While I’m happy with the appearance and size of the clock and plan to keep it, there are some issues: 1) there’s no snooze button (I’m retired so no need for it), 2) there’s no second hand, and 3) the knob to set the alarm is too short so difficult to turn.

I’m not so sure it’s worth the price you pay.

I loved the look of this clock for my bedroom, but after only using it for less than 2 months the alarm function no longer works, which I found out the hard way by being late for work. Too late to return it, I would recommend this if you only want a clock.

and don’t need the alarm. Will probably now put it in my bathroom.

This is the worst alarm on the planet!!! Amazing the first use and wore out by the second use!!! Lost me a very important job!!! Disappointed

READ THE MANUAL. You need to set the time zone to -1, or you will get German time. Good alarm interface, easy to see alarm time and set or unset it. Radio reception better upstairs. No indication of charge status, so whether the solar charging is enough in winter, only time will tell.

Does what it says – some people have had problems with the default time zone (german) but it explains how to reset permanently in the manual. Very similar to one ! bought 10 years ago (destroyed by my cat), still working but the display cracked – so don’t drop.

Nice looking worked well I Germany But in England will not connect G M T so is an hour fast when reset all ways reverts. To German time no way reset permantaly

I got this clock about two weeks ago and have really enjoyed it. It’s a nice little clock{about 4 inches wide and 3. 5 inches high}. The numbers are nice and big making it easy to read. It has a blue night light on it that you can adjust to get it just the way you want it.

The clock has easy-to-set controls to set the time and the alarm as well. The snooze button is in a good location — on top,making it easy to push{you can push the snooze button many times}. Vermont Country Store offers several clocks — including a digital electric clock and some battery operated clocks too.

But I wanted to get this analog clock so I could see the the whole face! And I really didn’t want to bother with any battery operated clocks. And as others have said and probably most important of all,this clock keeps great time! That’s because the instruction sheet says it’s a quartz clock,meaning that these clocks are very accurate! As I said,this is a great little clock and I have really enjoyed it.

I’m glad I got it!.

I am very happy with the Equity Analog Alarm Clock I purchased from Vermont Country Store. I had for some time now missed my old analog alarm clock, and after choosing mistakenly a digital alarm clock that was not meant for someone like me.

Simplicity is what I like best.

I had been looking for a “plug in” analog clock that would simply stop when the power goes out, instead of going to 12:00 and blinking. That way I can tell how long the outage was. I don’t need it for the alarm feature, just the fact that it is an old fashioned clock.

It sets on top of my microwave in the kitchen, so the blue light functions as a night light for the kitchen as well. I was a bit disappointed to find that the whole thing seems to be made of cheap plastic and the knobs to set the time seem kind of loose and wobbly, but with no more often than I will have to reset the time, it should work for quite a while.
