I own my previous Westclox Travelmate for more than 12 year . it be the only alarm clock I own - or need . very reliable & accurate - for most of those year . it begin to go screwy only the last couple of year I have it . so I replace it with another Travelmate , just a couple of month ago . at first I be very pleased with my purchase , but this one be already exhibit the bug of the first Travelmate - almost right out of the gate . the time setting and alarm setting often change - spontaneously and mysteriously - all by themselves , sometimes several time during the same day ! since the problem have not go away , and since I can not depend upon it to process time accurately -lrb- a core requirement for a alarm clock , would not you say ? -rrb- , I have decide to replace it with something better . since it cost only a few buck , it simply be not a good use of my time to go through the hassle and expense of return it for a refund . Westclox , be you listen ?  Westclox Travelmate
