Timex T231G AM/FM Dual Alarm Clock Radio with 1.2-Inch Display and Line-in Jack (Gunmetal)

I have had Timex radio alarm clocks in the past. I love this clock but the only problem I would see is that those buttons are multi function buttons and you need to know how to operate them. How you operate those buttons is either you push down and release quickly or push down and hold and then release. It is not just one button does one thing. If you can remember that then the radio alarm clock is a breeze. Features I like are backup battery for power outages. LED brightness adjustment. AM/FM. Dual alarm. Sound is adequate for my use.

Too many buttons for an elderly person. Wanted an easier way to change stations. Great for younger digital folks I guess

We purchased this alarm clock over 15 years ago. Being that it is a Timex it just keeps on clicking/ticking !

This clock radio has a nice big display. The controls are little hard to use (every button does at least two different things) but not *too* bad (except as discussed below). However, it gets one star because it has an unacceptable design flaw. If you set the alarm to "radio" instead of "buzzer", sometimes the buzzer goes off anyway.To reproduce:Set an alarm and set it to "radio", rather than "buzzer".Listen to audio using an external device (aux) (rather than AM or FM).Turn off the audio and wait for the alarm to go off.Expected behavior:The radio turns on.Actual behavior:The buzzer sounds.This problem is exacerbated by the fact that the power button does double duty as the audio select button. After turning audio on, the same button is used to select between AM/FM/AUX. To truly turn audio off, you have to hold down the power button for two seconds. They were just too cheap to include one extra button for these two different functions. Since the aux functionality is pretty pointless (the speaker on this device is small and most likely not any better than your phone's speakers anyway), aux mode is indistinguishable from truly being off, and many users will just end up doing the natural thing to turn off audio (pressing the power button without holding it down), and which actually puts the audio on aux. Which then later triggers the incorrect alarm behavior when the alarm goes off.Absolutely do not buy this if you expect the radio alarm to function properly. This device should be removed from stores and not sold again until this is fixed.

Screen too small

Instruction are minimal. Very bright display.

It works better than my 35 YO clock radio. I am a little disappointed, the FAB said that it had a"Special Feature= Charging Port". Presumably a 5V USB jack, that it didn't have. The only power port it had was for the wall wart power supply to plug into.Also contrary to the FAB description "Power Source=Corded Electric" again no line cord.Another listed feature that was absent "Aux Speaker: Play music through the wide range; 2” speaker when you connect an audio device to the line-in jack;" No problem I don't want to play music through a 2" speaker.The feature that I bought it for was the low battery alarm indicator, that actually works so that one is good. :-) I had a plan for the USB power output but can live without that.It was not very easy to set up, but this is not my first rodeo. I could make the features that were actually there, work.

Great alarm clock, with multiple features. I do wish the alarm volume was a little louder, but otherwise it is an excellent device.
