Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Timex T600B CD Stereo Clock Radio with Nature Sounds (Black)
Customer Review: Truly incomprehsible controls
Summary: 2 Stars
Sure, the nature sounds are nice, but getting them (or anything else) to play is a patience-taxing, button-pushing nightmare. I have a degree in computer science, but it still took me ten minutes of kneeling in front of this damn thing before I could get it to do what I wanted. Too, too many poorly-thought-out and poorly-labelled buttons. Clock radios have been around for long enough that designers should know better by now: Pressing a button labelled "CD" should play the CD. Pressing a button labelled "Forest" should immediately result in forest sounds. Pressing a button labelled "Sleep" should immediately display a countdown timer...
One last thing: All clock radios should have the option of sounding like an alarm clock.
Customer Review: MY Timex T600B Clock Radio has some quality problems
Summary: 1 Stars
I received a Timex model radio/cd alarm clock with soothing sounds. This was given as a Christmas present in Dec 2001. One thing I do like, the progressive alarm that gets faster and more irritating the longer its on.Right away problems/annoyances appeared. The sleep volume isn't adjustable enough. To get the volume low enough to goto sleep while still being loud enough to wake you in the morning isn't possible. Sound is like listening to a can with cheap transistor radio speakers in it. Radio and the CD player quit working. The display is invisible when trying to look from a slight angle. The dimmer didn't go low enough. The backlight quit working too. My wife paid close to $100 for this thing at Sears. THe only part still working is the beeper alarm.
Customer Review: poorly designed alarm clock
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this alarm because I liked the idea of having so many features to choose from. Unfortunately, I did not notice how poorly designed the clock is until I received it. The snooze button is right beside the off button, so I have already overslept several times when I thought I hit snooze, but actually hit off. The indiglo display lights up my entire bedroom, so I have to pull the covers over my head to get to sleep, and when I wake up in the night and want to know what time it is, I have to put my face directly in front of the clock to see the numbers, as they are invisible from an angle. I do appreciate the options available on this clock, but I would recommend looking around some more if you think any of my complaints would bother you too.Customer Review: Devil is in the details
Summary: 2 Stars
This clock doesn't work well for me for a couple of rather specific reasons. First of all, as other have mentioned, the indiglo backlight is too bright at night, and if you turn it down, it becomes difficult to read. My wife's red-on-black alarm clock radio is much easier to read. Part of the reason for this is the fact that I wear glasses, and can't see clearly when I wake in the morning. So perhaps it is me-specific...
The other problem I have is that the snooze timer goes off after an hour. So if I'm really tired and keep hitting snooze, after an hour...no more alarm. I've been late to work WAY too many times due to this feature.
Overall, it's a fully-featured clock radio, but if you share my little problems, it won't work for you.
Customer Review: Great Lille Clock/CDplayer, with many options
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't understand why all the bad reviews. I love my Timex T600B. The CD player, the 18-preset digital tuner, the stereo speakers, the four "nature" sounds , and the three separate alarms are all great. The CD works real well and the speakers sound awsome.The silver-and-black body looks very state of the art. It has far more buttons than most clock radios, The Indiglo (blue) display shows time, date, radio frequency, CD track, and indicates which nature sound (ocean, brook, forest, or wind) is currently selected for the alarm. It's very easy to set up the six AM and 12 FM presets.
I love that it's small, it sounds good, and it's full of great features. I am really happy with mine and think it was well the price.
