What do you think about people who prefer not to have mobile phones? The
same?

I prefer not to have a mobile phone.

I can fully inderstand why somneone would want an older style clock if
you didn't want battery hassles and it's for someone that's used to ,
a clear easy to read dial and a proper bell ring rather than an annoying bleep bleep.

I often find it best to start with the 1 star reviews (in this
case the 3 star reviews aren't that much better) for
some products. The 5 star reviews are often posted by people
who've only used the product for a week or two. Even if some
reviews may not be for exactly the same model - sometimes
an Amazon glitch - I find it unlikely that the quality would
differ that much from the same manufacturer

A true Classic has been ruined, 24 Jan 2010

This review is from: Zeon Westclox 1964 Big Ben Classic Alarm Clock
(Kitchen & Home)
I had a Westclox Baby Ben given to me when I went to college in the
late '70s and chose to buy a Big Ben when I started work in '81; that
one lasted me until last summer (2009).
The Westclox name and design has been taken over by a Chinese firm
and the result is a huge disappointment. The alarm silencing button
has been moved from on top (a good place for a fumbling hand) to
the back of the clock; most of the casing is now of plastic; the
alarm is tinny and weak; the face is unreadable in the dark and
the setting knobs small and fiddly.
O tempora o mores.

sorry I didn't take more notice of the poor reviews of this
product. It is so tacky , the keys on the back are too close
together to work properly and the clock's tick is very noisy!!
a very poor product. don't buy!

I had one and the alarm wouldnt switch off, they replaced
and the knob to change the connection to cgange the time
has fallen out therefore the clock is useless to me know.

Its the biggest lot of rubbish I have ever had.

I mwill now have to look for another clock that I can wind
up which is my preference but it certainly wont be big ben.

The last Westclox I had lasted me years this one only weeks

Very disappointing, does not keep time and often stops for
no apparent reason.
Had this type of clock for many years, never had one
like this. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

Dreadful. Broke down after hardly any usage. It is a wind up a clock not a battery
clock - I don't have a problem with that but very shortly after purchase it stopped being
able to keep the time even shortly after being wound up.
