Philips AJ3600 Time Projection Clock Radio Review

Philips AJ3600 Time Projection Clock RadioI just received this clock yesterday and have already fallen in love!

To avoid hitting the snooze or reset button(s) and never waking up, I keep my alarm clock across the room from my bed.This way I wake up enough to get out of bed and walk across the room before I hit any buttons.As my eyes are getting older it has become increasingly more difficult to focus on the clock when I wake up in the middle of the night.

When I decided that a projection clock would solve my problem of focusing on the clock in the middle of the night, I started to look around for one and I was not pleased with what was out there.I did not need nature sounds, nor did I need a light to turn on as part of the alarm.I do not have an MP3 player to dock into my clock, and I do not need a complete weather report when I open my eyes (LOL, I will find that out soon enough when I shlep out of bed and let the dogs outside!).I do not need to know what time the alarm is set (Ijust like to be reassured that it is on), and I am perfectly capable of pressing a few buttons to set the time all by myslef.

This little guy projects the time and whether or not the alarm is on...the two things that I am most interested in when I open my eyes in the middle of the night.The projection can be moved 180 degrees and the further away you project the time, the larger it is.It has an adjustable backlight on the face so it is not too bright.It has an AM/FM radio with ten station presets, and when the alarm is set to chime instead of the radio, it starts gentle so as not to jar you awake.It does have two alarms, but instead of having a choice of alarm types (chime or radio) Alarm 1 uses the radio and Alarm 2 uses the chime.The chime is a little bit quieter than I am used to, but it woke me up just fine this morning.

So far (after one night) I love this clock, it's a great price, and I would defiantly recommend it!

jWIN JL707 Projection Alarm Clock Radio Review

jWIN JL707 Projection Alarm Clock RadioI bought this clock for my daughter after I had received a different projection clock as a gift.My daughter really likes the on-ceiling display of the clock.The only drawbacks:the projection device does not swivel left and right.That would help in positioning the on-ceiling display a little better.Also, you must set the projection clock separate from the regular clock-radio clock.Other than that, I would recommend.

Timex T309T Alarm Clock Radio with Nature Sounds (Titanium) Review

Timex T309T Alarm Clock Radio with Nature SoundsThis is a nice little item. It has good sound quality and three types of alarm: radio, buzzer, and nature sounds (there are 3 or 4 of these to choose from). You can specify whether an alarm setting works every day, only on weekdays, or only on weekends. Each alarm setting has its own radio station or nature sound (and volume) associated with it. It's got a nice big snooze button on top, which doubles as a display dimmer (my favorite feature).
I've come across just a couple disappointments in the week that I've had it.
- I thought I'd be able to create a radio-alarm setting for weekdays and another radio-alarm setting (same time, but different station) for weekends. Can't do it. You get one setting for each type of alarm.
- The radio preset buttons are arranged in a line across the front of the unit. The band setting button is in that line too, to its left. So if you want preset #1, you've got to punch the second button. Hitting the first button switches you to AM.
All in all, though, it's worth the [money].

Product Description:
The Timex T309TT triple-alarm clock radio lets you wake to your choice of AM/FM radio, buzzer, or any of four nature sounds (wind, brook, surf, and forest spring). Yes, you read correctly: the triple-alarm system lets you set three independent alarm times and wake sounds.
Even if you're waking alone, you might want to set the device to trigger, say, soothing nature sounds at 7 a.m., a gentle radio station at 7:15, and a blaring buzzer at 7:30 just in case your heinie is still in the sack when it ought to be in the shower. Use the convenient 7-5-2 system to set your alarm(s) for the week, weekdays, or the weekend.
Store up to 18 radio stations in memory, accessible through six one-touch tuning buttons. The radio offers drift-free PLL (phase-locked loop) digital tuning and displays station frequency and preset numbers.
Time to crash? Drift into sleep to the radio or soothing nature sounds using the programmable sleep timer. The unit also offers a 99-year calendar (2000 to 2099) with year/month/day display and a sure-alarm battery backup system.
What's in the Box
Alarm clock radio and a user's manual.
