Customer Review: How time flies
Summary: 5 Stars
My how time flies when you have a 15 year old alarm clock that wakes you up an hour late for work! I spent two days researching, purchasing and exhanging alarm clocks. I read so many reviews on Amazon, Circuit City, etc. I gave this quest to find the perfect clock my best effort, but what a hassle I went through.
The Sony ICF-C492 is not the perfect clock, but it has the major feature I require.
1- Adjustable brightness display. One clock I purchased, was bright enough to land a 747 at LAX airport!
2- Large numbers to read in the middle of the night. These are BIG, and that works good for me.
3- Easy access to the alarm off button. One of the many clocks I returned, required that you hit the snooze button, then fumble around for 2-3 minutes to turn the alarm off.
This unit is a basic alarm clock with all of the features I need, but it would be nice if it included more options. It doesn't automatically adjust the time, like many newer clocks do. It also lacks the feature where you can set the alarm for Monday-Friday.
Overall, I love this alarm clock! The dimmer feature is awesome, takes it right to the point of the perfect adjustment. One surprise when I opened the box, and the clock was so large! It takes up a good portion of my night stand. I would have bought this as a first choice (rather than spending two days shopping around). I got spooked in the begining by several people here on Amazon complaining that their Sony ICF-C492 clocks were running ahead of time, or fast by 5-10 minutes a month. That still concerns me a little, but for now this clock is great.
