(More customer reviews)Shopping for an alarm clock isn't really something I put a lot of research into. After all, the common denominator of them all is the most important: they wake you up on time. But, I had some important features I wanted and not only found them all in the Timex T276B, but more than I expected.
AUTO-SET. This thing is ready for use right out of the box. Plug it in and the time is already set. If you aren't in the EST time zone, you simply need to set it to your correct time zone. Furthermore, the clock automatically makes adjustments for Daylight Savings Time -- so no more worries about forgetting it. It also has a 99-year calendar, which is an added bonus.
BATTERY BACKUP. Like most alarm clocks, the T276B has a battery backup system that will save the time and your settings in the case of a power outage. Unfortunately, saving the time does you no good if the alarm never goes off. With 3 AA batteries, the T276B's alarm will still function without external power. This is a huge plus as far as I'm concerned.
DUAL ALARMS. I'm a little behind the times when it comes to dual alarm clocks, so this is a bonus for me that most people probably already have. What is really nice about the T276B, though, is that you can set each alarm to be active 7 days a week or specify whether it will be active on only weekdays or only weekends. So, no more having to remember to shut off one alarm and activate the other. Each alarm can be set to wake you up to the buzzer, radio or nature sounds.
GRADUAL WAKE-UP. If I were to narrow down my single biggest reason for shopping for a new alarm clock, it would be that I was tired of the sudden blaring of my clock while in the middle of deep sleep. The T276B's buzzer alarm gradually increases in volume, allowing you a more peaceful wake-up.
NATURE SOUNDS. Another feature I wanted in an alarm clock was the ability to fall asleep listening to nature sounds. The T276B has 3 options: bubbling stream, waves and forest. Unfortunately, the loops are very short and less soothing than I had hoped -- hence, only 4 stars for this product.
VARIABLE SLEEP VOLUME. Another neat thing about this product is that you can fall asleep to either the nature sounds or the radio at a variable "sleep volume", while maintaining a louder alarm volume.
All in all, this is a great product with some other great features that I don't have the room to point out.
