I would be look for a small alarm clock that do not appear to have be design in 1983 . pro : small , cool design , several smart feature , include `` alarm check '' which let you easily check if you alarm be set properly . good alarm volume . con : no brightness setting . a little too easy to accidentally snooze -- `` off '' be right next to `` snooze . '' design be a little bit more `` dorky '' than cool . 7-day setting can be annoying to set up at first , especially if you do not need different time every day . no big deal , though . I like it .
