this clock leave out all the nonsense , and do exactly what you need it to do . different alarm time for each day of the week , a absolute must for sleep in on the weekend , or for hold a second job . I prefer this one over the executive , as I can not sleep with a bright display light up my whole room . the design truly be well think out , and so simple to understand and intuitive ... it be one of the better alarm clock I have ever own . I would recommend it to friend and family , for anyone with a weekend job , or just look for a great clock . -lrb- ... -rrb- as a side note , this company be american , but the clock be build in China .
