Wake Up Timer TQ-140-7EF Alarm Clock Excellent Readability

For those seeking a no-frills digital alarm clock that gets the job done, the Casio Wake Up Timer fits the bill. This compact, lightweight clock has a delightfully retro aesthetic reminiscent of classic Casio designs from decades past. Right out of the box, setting the time and alarm is refreshingly straightforward using the basic button controls. The bright green LED display is easy to read at a glance, even from across the room. I also appreciated the inclusion of a handy stopwatch function for basic timing needs. Battery life is excellent, with the clock running for well over a year before needing replacements. The snooze button is satisfyingly large and responsive for those bleary-eyed mornings. And the nightlight feature bathes the screen in a subtle glow, though it's not excessively bright. On the downside, the plasticky build quality feels quite basic, even for the affordable price. Dropping this on a hard surface would likely cause damage. The beeping alarm is also fairly tinny and abrupt, lacking gradual wake-up sounds or radio functionality. But for a simple bedside alarm without smartwatch integration or fancy apps, this Casio gets the job done reliably. The retro design aesthetic charms with its minimalist, old-school vibe. Just don't expect any premium bells and whistles. If you're looking for an affordable, straightforward timekeeping solution to ensure you wake up on time, this basic Casio alarm clock is a decent, nostalgia-inducing option. It may lack refinement, but sometimes you just need an uncomplicated wake-up call.

Inexpensive, pocket sized Alarm Clock measuring 5.5cm x 5.5cm x 3cm deep. Plastic shell. Large, clear numerals and minute/hour hands with luminous coating. Sweep second hand plus hour alarm indicator. Really simple to set up. Insert the AA battery (supplied), set the time from the winder on the back which has two positions - pulled slightly out to change the time, pushed in to change the alarm time. Button on top of clock pushed to 'up' position to set alarm on, 'down' position for off. I first had one of these when I was a schoolgirl, and it woke me dutifully every day, for many years. And I took some waking, like most kids. It lasted forever. Very sturdy and survived being swept off bedside tables, knocked over and thrown. This one is pretty much identical. This has a clear, insistent, repeating chirrup of an alarm call, but other than that, the clock is virtually silent. Battery will last a year or longer. This comes properly boxed, with all the paperwork for instructions, guarantees, etc. I got this for the car, as the internal car clock has clapped out, but this is an ideal little analogue clock that will fit in discreetly just about anywhere..

This is a really good and accurate clock, it a perfect size for a bedside table and for travel. However, one of the main reasons I bought it was for the luminous numbers and hands, and unfortunately they simply don't work.. I have tried sitting it in front of a light source for well over an hour and whilst they glow nice and bright to start with, if I wake in the night they are way too dim to read. Other than that it's a great clock

I had a similar alarm clock to this one (not a Casio one though - if I remember right I got it from Wilkinsons!) but it got broken recently when I accidentally knocked it off my bedside table and it totally fell apart. So, I needed another alarm clock and decided to get this one because a) it seemed compact and functional, without unnecessary functions that I would rarely, if ever use, b) I prefer this 'normal' type of alarm clock to the digital ones, c) Casio is a well known brand and c) it wasn't over-priced! It arrived this morning and I'm so happy with it! It's exactly as it looks in the photo (the black one), although the green numbers and the tips of the hands are much brighter than depicted in the photo. The green almost looks fluorescent so I'm sure I will be able to see the time in the dark! The clock is a really nice size - compact but not too small - and it seems quite substantial. It came with a battery which I popped in, not necessarily expecting it to work as I thought it could be an old one, but it works fine. To set the time and the alarm, there's a little button / dial at the back. To set the alarm just turn that and set it to the right time. Then pull the little slider thingy on top of the clock up and the alarm is set (push the slider down to turn the alarm off). To set the time just pull that button out a bit and turn it to get the right time setting. When you've set the time, just push the button back in to the original position. The alarm is nice and clear and not startlingly loud, thank god, but loud enough to wake most people up unless perhaps they're the kind of sleeper who is almost totally dead to the world when they're asleep but the alarm should even wake them up! This is just perfect for me - a well priced, nice quality, straightforward, functional, compact and nice looking little clock! I don't see the point in wasting money on bigger, clunky, more 'hi-tech' and costly alarm clocks, especially the digital ones with all the stupid settings that I would hardly, if ever, use anyway. This one is great and it seems like it should last me for quite awhile unless, of course, I knock it off the bedside table like I did with my last alarm clock and it falls apart! I'll be more careful in future though!

La précision Casio, tient dans la poche, bon petit réveil avec alarme, bien pratique à la maison, en déplacement et en voyage. Livré avec une pile. Parfait !

Classic klocka , bra storlek

Really great alarm clock. It is clearly an alarm clock that prioritizes practicality over aesthetics. It is not very beautiful, let's say it, but it is very practical. Its alarm works impeccably, the switch which is placed as a push-button above the case is amazing (this is a feature that is rarely found in modern alarm clocks, usually to turn off the alarm you have to activate a small switch placed behind and I find that bad). You can also see the time subtly in the dark, the alarm clock is very small and can therefore easily be taken on a trip. Beware though that it still makes noise, but I guess most people consider this a charm of analog clocks. As I said, it is super practical but it is really not a device made for decoration.

Compatta, molto leggibile, una bella sveglietta analogica ad un prezzo molto buono
