Positives:
- All useful indicators on the display (time, date, day name, temperature). You rarely find this.
- Many useful functions (time, alarm, birthday reminder, countdown timer).
- Many wake-up melodies (about ten).
- When the screen rings, it lights up. It helps a lot when it's dark.
- Button for screen lighting.
- Besides being a simple alarm clock, it also has a snooze function which, as far as I understood, will annoy you every few minutes to get up if you just press a button to stop it ringing each time.
- Although this may also be a matter of luck, mine doesn't seem to drift from the correct time easily. After several months, it went 2 minutes ahead. Not a big deal. Another, cheaper clock I once had ran like crazy.
- Personally, it doesn't seem very cheaply made to me. The glass of the screen initially seemed terrible. It wasn't shiny as I expected and was somewhat dull with tiny scratches, as if it had some plastic cover on top. Eventually, after a few months, I discovered that there was indeed a plastic cover on it, and once I removed it, it gained a whole new shine! In the end, the screen is beautiful!
- It is black and leaves few fingerprints when you touch it, but at least it won't get any blacker than it already is if you touch it with dirty hands... While a silver one I have needs cleaning every month...

Negatives:
- The alarm is quite loud, but if you are looking for something that screams like crazy and wakes up the neighborhood, it probably won't do for you.
- It takes a little time to learn how to use it... Some things I found easily, others required a bit of hassle and experimentation. It has user instructions, but they don't always help.
- It's a bit larger than I imagined and expected. I believe it would be more beautiful and compact if it were smaller. On the other hand, at its current size, it helps with reading the indicators for older people...

I don't know if the price is good, but I've seen much worse clocks at this price...
Overall, due to the many functions, the many indicators, the accuracy in time, the reasonable price, the color, and the relatively good appearance, I would easily buy it again.
Basically, I have already ordered a second one for a relative!

P.S.: If you are also looking for how to set and remove the alarm (which seems to be one of the difficult things to figure out), check the questions on this page.
Update:
Because its alarm didn't work a couple of times, even though it was set correctly, and I can't find a logical reason for this, I'm deducting 2 stars. If you can't rely on the alarm, come on...
