I know a lot of you use your phones as alarm clocks, but I just love having that clock next to my bed so I can see what time it is any time I want.
The Sony clock/radio I have now, I got in the late 90s, and it's been going bad for awhile, but it was still ticking, so I kept it. It has a battery backup, so it's good for when the power goes out, and it does that a lot in Florida. Otherwise, I never use the radio.
Now the screen doesn't light up anymore, and is only visible in the dark, but to make it even worse, the snooze doesn't work. What good is a clock without a snooze? If I press it enough times, I can maybe get an extra 10 minutes, but by then, I'm awake, so what's the use?
So I'm searching for something similar. I figure 20 years out of an alarm clock is pretty o.k. Hopefully, my next one lasts me just as long.
Anyone have any recommendations? I'd like to keep it under $30, if possible.
