Kikkerland Retro Alarm Clock – Vintage Decor for Bedroom, Nightstand, Living Room, or Office – Battery Operated, Glow in The Dark, Decorative Analog Clock, Red

Looks: This is great looking clock, I got mine in blue but I'm sure that the other colors look great as well. It's got a nice retro look like advertised, and the color is precise to what you see on your monitor. The hands glow in the dark which is almost useless but still a cool thing to have.Performance: This clock is quiet and keeps time accurately. As for the alarm it can be a little bit iffy, but overall functions as should.Others: The clock takes only one AA battery, and will last for a while. The alarm is a somewhat quieter volume than others but has no trouble waking me up. The clock is very lightweight which could serve as a problem for many people when they fling there hand out to turn off the alarm. The alarm has no differentiation between AM or PM and will go off twice if not turned off. Lastly, there is not snooze function, how bad of a drawback that is really relies on the time of person buying the clock.Overall: This is an OK clock that does all the necessary things an alarm clock should but nothing more. I have it rated as a five because it does everything that I need it for. For people buying this wanting to use it as an alarm clock it is about a 3.5, but for people buying this as a small decorative clock that nicely fits a space it is a 5.

Fits perfectly in the window sill. Is cute. Works fine. The second one we bought.

Nice little clock; very retro looking and functions well. This is used as more of an accent then anything. The glow in the dark hands do not work well at all. I tried shining a light on them for a few minutes to "activate" them; they did illuminate for a couple of minutes only.

Decided to try this cute little clock, after having our last several alarm clocks start malfunctioning after a year of ownership. This clock is described as "retro" although it looks just like the cheap clocks that are still sold in drugstores, size, shape, clock face and hands are identical, only the coloring is different, as far as looks go. The back of the clock is just ridiculous. The knobs for setting time and the alarm are set in a recessed groove, and very hard to manipulate for older people or those with health issues like arthritis which affects your dexterity. Also the knobs are smaller than usual and hard to grip. My husband, who has a muscular dystrophy disease cannot set it at all. Then there's the alarm on/off, which is the largish button on top of the clock. To set the alarm, you push the button until it pops up, when the alarm goes off, you push it down. Seems simple enough, but it is very flimsy, and you have to push down repeatedly, or hard, and hold down for a few seconds to get the alarm to stop. There is no knob on the back where you turn the alarm function off, as with most alarm clocks, also there is no snooze. Lastly, the alarm itself is loud and shrill. Unless you really want a clock in these colors (which are cute, the only redeeming feature I can find with this clock), you can get a cheaper, plain version at your local drug store. Meanwhile, I am still on the lookout for a decent alarm clock that is well built, easy to operate, has snooze function with cascading beeps and under $100. If you know of one, please let me know in comments. Thanks!UPDATE: This clock has lasted less than a year. Today when I got home the alarm was raging away, even though the button was down meaning that it was not set. I turned it on and off to stop it, then it went off again a couple of minutes later. The alarm arm isn't even set to the time, but the thing would not stop with its annoying buzz. I tried a fresh battery, but it still buzzed nonstop. I had to remove the battery altogether and toss it. The clock didn't even make it past one battery. So, to whomever gave me a negative vote for my completely honest and accurate review...um...bite me. This thing is a piece of junk and I am lowering the star rating to one.

Such a cute little inexpensive clock. Exactly what I wanted/needed since plants are covering the main clock in the room.

Need to replace battery often.

I love this little clock. It's cute, the retro vibe and color fits in with my decor, a AA battery lasts a long time and it keeps accurate time. Best of all, no annoying cord.

I actually own two of these. I first saw one in a fancy hotel and wanted one for myself, so I bought it in green and now again in red. Love the retro vibe, they run silently with no ticking, can be read from a few feet away, and are easy to set. I don't use them as an alarm so can't comment on that, but they are loud. The first battery lasted just under 2 years before I noticed the time was off and replaced it.The only con is that part of the reason I bought one was to keep near the bed so I could read the time if I woke up at night, since they have glow-in-the-dark hands. Unfortunately they only glow if you hold a bright light up to them first to "charge" the glow, and then they only stay glowing for a few minutes. So don't count on that feature which is pretty useless.
