BraunClassic Travel Analogue Alarm Clock with Snooze and Light, Compact Size, Quiet Quartz Movement, Crescendo Beep Alarm in Black, model BC02XB.

Fairly small and compact. Doesn’t require special batteries - uses a single AA cell. Really good alarm - starts of considerately quiet and then increases in volume. Little light activated by button to help with viewing at night. Possibility that could be activated at when stuffed in a bag for travelling so might potentially flatten battery.The dials for changing time and alarm time are recessed to help prevent accidental changes when travelling. But found the dial for changing the time fiddly. Not easy to change the time. Overall happy with purchase. Replaced a very old Casio travel alarm that had stopped working but definitely feels like a step up in quality.

Very good travel alarm clock small compact and reliable

Was surprised at how well put together this little clock is. I thought that given the price it would feel cheap and tacky. Not at all! It bought as when we go away we use, like most people these days I think, our phones. But they just seem to wake you up with a start. This clock starts of with a mild tone, then increases the volume and urgency, which is nice. I also like the size and the fact that it has an easy to use snooze button. The dial is easy to read and the light isn't too bright. I've marked it down a star as the hands could be slightly brighter. Even in a room with no light it's very difficult to see the hands, so you have to use the built-in light.Overall, its a great little travel companion.

We have had one of these for over ver 39 years, so when one of our kids failed to charge a phone for an alarm for the umpteenth time, we bought this oneStill great looking, batteries last for ages, works perfectly and so simple even the kid couldn’t get it wrong

Certainly looks good, but I quickly noticed that whenever you set the alarm, the clock stopped working properly afterward. As someone else noted, the second hand turned but not the hour and minute. Even returned it to the retailer who suggested they had tested it and found nothing wrong, so sent it back to me. Maybe they didn't try the alarm. An unreliable alarm clock is worse than useless. And it wasn't cheap. So def cannot recommend.

It's small (two and a quarter inches square) and beautiful. However, it doesn't keep time as well as a Casio, and, it's extremely difficult to turn the knurled button on the back to get the hands set accurately. Even spraying a bit of lube didn't help.

A classic, beautiful design, small but the clear high-contrast face enables easy reading from bed to table across room. The top right button doubles as 5m snooze and 5s light control. The hands are slightly luminous and the light fades out to off, which is a nice touch. The increasing-intensity alarm is great. I'm looking forward to putting away my smartphone and using this at home and on travels.Many years ago I used to have a thinner oblong Braun travel alarm clock with folding time-zone cover, which of course broke off, and that type now cost stupid money - up to £60, whereas this just cost me £22, which is a reasonable price for such a nice alarm clock.

All good. No issues. Well packaged, does the job.
