Braun Classic Analogue Alarm Clock with Snooze and Continuous Backlight, Quiet Quartz Movement, Crescendo Beep Alarm in Black, model BC22B.

A great example of sensible design, with everything needed and nothing unnecessary. Simple and intuitive to set up and use, as well as being very good to look at with an exceptionally clear time display.Our example functions faultlessly and despite criticism by others of the battery cover, ours was exemplary in being really easy to remove and replace.Being constructed with only a light plastic casing it will become no family heirloom, but sadly a heavier build in hardwood and glass would obviously be prohibitive.This is only a recent purchase so I cannot yet speak for durability but for the moment it is very much liked. Well pleased.

This clock, although small, is a piece of design that gives pleasure just by looking at it. It has simple clean lines, the clock face is easy to read and can be read from a distance. We have these clocks all through our house. I love them and would recommend them without reserve.

Purchased in June 2021. I bought it to replace a digital alarm clock and I like the design and shape. It also has a quiet second hand sweep. It keeps time well and, as with all analogue clocks, the alarm setting is not precise and that is not an issue for me. I find the time and alarm setting easy to adjust and the push button light is adequate to tell the time in the dark. The quiet second hand was barely audible until a few weeks ago when it became louder. It is a distraction when trying to get to sleep. I cannot see a way of fixing this as the clock face cannot be removed and there is no access to the clock face from the rear. It is no longer suitable for my purposes as a bedroom alarm clock and is now used as a desk clock. After only 2 years of use I will need to buy another alarm clock. That's disappointing considering the price.

Great design and decent quality

Good prompt service and delivery. Batteries aren’t included (and it requires 3, to power the backlight) but the listing makes that clear.The product is great - it has a gentle amber backlight which comes on in the evening and goes off when it is light in the morning. This makes the face easy to read, with the slightly curious effect that the hands are white against black in daylight, and black against amber at night!I assume it will eat batteries faster than an unlit clock but then a single AA battery typically keeps a clock running for a couple of years so I’m not expecting to have to replace 3 AAs all that often. Also you can switch off auto backlight and just light the face by pressing the top button when you want it.

Illumination could be better.

Very well designed clock. Surprised how many batteries required but suspect this is because of the nightlight feature which can actually be turned off. Would have given it 5* but it is somewhat overpriced. You should not have to pay for good, well thought out design.

Great design, very quiet ticking. My only comment is that it would be good if the night time backlight was dimmable in some way. It is too bright for us so unfortunately we have to turn the night time backlight off, which is a shame.
